Disco Stu

Liverpool buy the young exciting players (bar Lambert) whilst West Ham get the oldies.

Probably similar feelings from both sets of fans. Winnable...but not the best. Slight delay in the broadcast perhaps?

My guess is Wigan. I dreamt it.

Any first impressions on Carrillo?

Didn't follow the game, but these comments look worrying.

It's because it's looking less likely. It's part of the rejection process.

Some interesting and slightly more optimistic comments...

If we were this ambitious in the summer we would probably have got him. I'm thinking that perhaps we're now being a little too optimistic given our circumstances.

So the general consensus is he's a great guy but a bad footballer.

It's not a panic buy in the sense that they've plucked him from thin air however I feel like they've had to bend over backwards for Monaco given our current circumstances. I don't think you'd see us overpaying like that unless we felt we were backed into a corner.

Rather suggests he doesn't want to come here.

I suspected as much. Panic buy written all over this as I can't imagine the scouts have seen a £17.5m player in Carrillo.

Which is the reason we're STILL not being touted for relegation by many outsiders!

I'm not convinced by him at all to be honest. I was hoping for someone a bit more proven given our predicament. The fee seems ridiculous to me as well but I guess it was inevitable after making the Van Dijk money so public.

Everything about the club at the moment is making me angry. Maybe I need to go into hibernation until May.

He won't be popular because we're ****, the manager is **** and he's dithering in the transfer market. We are massively under-performing this season. Nobody's entitled to a league place, but everyone is entitled to feel disgruntled at the boards incompetence.

A Shane Long that knows how to score. Yes please, I think he's quality.

I guess it might improve the harmony in the squad.

You took the photo with your phone rotated 90 degrees clock-wise instead of anti-clockwise I would guess.

Yes, unfortunately. I hate to say it having paid for a season ticket to enjoy the season but we've been so **** that our only focus now should be survival.

Town fans have a vendetta...

I don't trust the board to sack our current useless manager, let alone appoint a decent one in his place.

The commentators will have nothing to say anymore when we're on TV...

They won't win the league any time soon anyway... City and United (Even Spurs and Chelsea are stronger) are way ahead of them and it will take more than Van Dijk to change that. There's no guarantee he'll match the form he had prior to his injury anyway.
