SR's "expertise", "brain power" and time is being spread across three clubs, rather than one. Goztepe's relative success also gives them an easy way to pat themselves on the back, rather than do some serious soul searching as to what the fuck has gone wrong here.

Doubt our total outlay on him is much lower than what we got in after wages, agent fees, solidarity payments, training payments as he was under 24 etc etc And even then, it's such a small profit as to be completely insignificant. Just feels like a pointless exercise for us to be involved with, I'd rather there was complete focus on us

We'll benefit from this multi club model, any day now I'm sure

On the goalie front, I'd guess we simply can't afford to have three GKs all earning top whack. Quite why we gave McCarthy an extension last year I'll never know.

Anything on Aribo? Surely it's time to get him training if not, he could be useful this season and then he can have his big free transfer move next year

Premier League football summed up in a photo

Joe Rothwell is absolutely honking, would need about five of Russell's pre-seasons to get him anywhere near fit

🤣🤣🤣

Really not sure about playing both Downes and Charles every week. Neither really have the ability to break the lines quickly and will be bypassed by a lot of teams humping the ball long, no need to have both in there most weeks.

Very diplomatic

No one player above a 4/10 today. Still has to learn very quickly that you can't play that way, but has been dealt the hand of four shite strikers and two servicable wingers - one of whom had to fill in at right-back. Patience required, but not on the transfer front - we need incomings now at both ends.

Called a retard and an oddball on the fringe of society because I don't like that we've signed a Brentford reject on a four year deal It's just my opinion, I'll gladly eat it if he's any good

If you think he's better than KWP, you are definitely going to be disappointed

Yes mate, Shea Charles would be eaten alive in the Premier League. Just don't get the point of giving him a four-year deal at all. But maybe he's on 10k a week and gets paid the rest in Legos.

What does that have to do with what I've just said? He's 26, if he was any good then they would want him... Brentford are bang in trouble this season.

Brentford will be in a relegation scrap this year and they're all happy to let him go, says a lot I think. I've seen him play lots of times, he's the same profile as Bree. Pointless signing

He'll be fine for this level, but to give him a four year deal and presumably pay money for him is just so poor

Happy to be sat on my own with this one. He's shite.

Four year deal, why? He's not good enough for the Prem, that's unlikely to change.

New signings are going well then

But ultimately, following the good performance in the Championship (that's up for debate), he threw it away instantly. And it wasn't fully down to naivety, it was down to arrogance, incompetence and ego. He put himself above the club and the fans by trying to take his big chance in the Premier League and put it to rights. He was ultimately paid by the club, indirectly by the fans (who pay thousands of pounds a year to watch what he was serving up), to win games of football. He did not put our best foot forward and that was a choice. It was indefensible. To him, us winning was a secondary target - except of course when his neck was on the block in the play-offs, where he did what he should have done in the Premier League for 75% of the games.

Too right it's mean spirited. The bloke killed my love/passion for football stone dead last season... He's a complete fool and I hope he's booted out of Ibrox with his tail between his legs, but not before his football is publicly eviscerated for all to see.

Bit like when we had Ramsdale doing punditry when we got tonked against Spurs, it was an utter humiliation

He is going to be chased out of Glasgow and him and his football will be toxic waste across the UK, thank fuck

You can tell me to move on all you want, but THIS is therapy you'd pay hundreds for
