It's definitely Marrow-Dawn-R but it's odd that all the others have first names (except Pele) but but Diego not bothered with. I will boycott all greetings cards forthwith

So your "look at me, I was right and everyone else was wrong" lap of honour is based on a poster in bloody May chatting shit about "let's go out and get Graham Potter", christ almighty. Have a fucking peanut Mystic Meg, we don’t know how you do it.

I was meaning ever (very few that size ever), the highest fee paid was Wolves so that's how long ago.

Nowhere near enough for you to requote yourself over and over again like some kind of fucking visionary.

I still don't think I've seen anyone expecting us to spend £100m (or even £50m). The record fee at this level is something like £17m, and there's been very few of them. Honestly you're arguing a nothing point. Stop requoting yourself, for fucks sake.

......the "best way to be make money" is get promoted. "No matter how desperate you are to think otherwise", that is the objective. I dont really know why you're tying yourself in knots trying to pretend that yeah but no but yeah but no but they're businessmen and it's all an "illusion", well it's clearly not. They've pumped in hundreds of millions to stay in the Championship? Sure they have. Right now, today, this season, the objective is to get promoted. You can be pessimistic if you like but that doesn't mean you have some greater knowledge than other people and only you can see through the "delusion". You can't, you're just pissed off because Leeds signed a striker.

How many times are you planning on quoting yourself with your obvious "prediction"? Jesus wept

I wish we were Leeds or Leicester or Leeds

I'm sorry you failed the entrance exam. We will review all applications again after Christmas.

Sports Republic are just piling it up like fucking Scrooge McDuck

I am finding it hard to carry around this weight of knowledge.

Swansea fans giving it plenty over the weekend that he was signing a new contract. Swansea were the joint highest scorers last year and one of the worst defences, so interesting the only Swans we are signing/bidding for are, er, defenders.

What a tragic complete accident 😢

...and supporters are selfish pricks who concoct bullshit rationale for reasons the players they like should stay at the club they support, which conveniently is exactly what the supporter wants. If we'd have stayed up and we were trying poach someone from relegated (say) Forest you wouldn't hear anything about how moving to the Prem is "not a step up".

Probably all a bit more nuanced that all that but you carry out with your little routine sweetheart x

We're putting you down as a 100% supporter of banning higher emission cars immediately then? That's definitely what you seem to be saying so good to know where you stand 👍

Romeo Lavia playing a full season in the Premier League was definitely a thing that happened last year as well. He hasn't joined Chelsea to play against Rotherham in a Euros year. I can see him being loaned to Palace/Wolves/etc, maybe.

Just flicked through this thread and honestly no idea what you're talking about. A few nutcases talked about asset stripping but written off as nut jobs at the time. Still bewildered why you are requoting your own obvious posts to give yourself an open top bus celebration over a loads of stuff no one disagreed with in the first place. @trousers give him a medal

Yes it was obvious so not sure why you are positioning yourself as some kind of visionary. I don't remember anyone thinking or saying we would be spending something like a hundred million pounds on players this season.

Dragon has certainly sorted out the whole "being a Premier League club" thing, that's for sure.

Says the guy that starts the history of Brighton managers at the beginning of their upward curve but starts ours at the point of our decline. Impeccable. I wish we were Brighton I wish we were them

Yeah draw me a picture of how 16th > 9th > 6th is "better than anything we've ever achieved". Fucking pathetic

Piroe story is very odd, there was interest it seems not just from us but Leeds and SUFC as well, and abroad ....definitely clubs that could pay him more. Feels a bit weird if I'm honest, I don't know why he's staying there when surely he is ready for a next step in his career (not necessarily us, but a step up somewhere).

We're unlikely to. I expected them both gone before the end of July so amazed we've got some matches and goals out of them. Tella, maybe, stays now because no one seems to value him that highly. Che gone, no question.
