Willo of Whiteley

He may be attracting interest but he isn’t a £30-£35M player - supposedly the fee we’d be after. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reading a few write ups he’s said to have had a good season at Preston, with their fans saying he’d go on to better things.

Has Craig Hope done his pre-England game slagging off article yet?

10am then?

Reckon it’ll be Thursday this week we get the away one

This entirely regarding Leo Scienza. He is a decent player but my god he’s overrated by so many. He faded massively at times last season, if you want to get out the Championship you need consistency and sometimes someone who brings something different.

He can play anywhere across the three positions behind the striker but has predominantly been a left winger. He would immediately be an upgrade on Sam Edozie or Jay Robinson.

Good signing if we get this over the line. Demonstrates good intentions, also encouraging that we haven’t pissed about looking for some unknown in the Dutch fifth division or something weird like that.

First thought - it’s from The Athletic - I’m surprised they haven’t found a way to slag us off over this deal. Secondly, it doesn’t necessarily mean Leo Scienza if off. Squad depth is needed, and wide players, effective wide players were in short supply last season.

Any sniffs on the away kit?

One of the worst I’ve seen, and it actually looks better like this than someone wearing it 😂

Pros: Very smart shirt, nice to have some more red on it this time around. Cons: Black socks? Really? Very Sheffield United The plain back is bad enough but to have a plain back at the top and then stripes at the bottom is ridiculous. The price. Jesus!

I’d take Dobbin, he’ll go to a top end Championship club, and I could see us paying £10m for him to compete with the likes of Azaz, Matsuki, Fellows and Scienza - it isn’t like we’re flush across all those positions. Edozie wasn’t really trusted enough, but we need direct wide players that are happy to run with the ball. I thought it was interesting that Alfie Devine (Tottenham) signed permanently for Preston for £5m, thought he’d have gone to a bigger club.

Stripes do we think?

Resembles a tea towel

Just saw the price! £35!? £35 for a training top! A standard football kit shirt used to cost that the last time I bought one outright! Looks like a plain t-shirt for £4 is what I’ll stick with for five-a-side then. 😂

Quite like Brightons home top. If we had red with white pinstripes that would be different and decent.

Whoever Saints sign needs to fit in seamlessly with the profile, motivation, humour, drive and calibre of where the squad is currently.

Literally couldn’t give a toss, we drag it out every season. Just hoping there is more red than white this season. Plain red training shirt looks smart though.

Some thought he’d return in January and he ended up in Burnley. He’ll probably end up somewhere random again, like Wrexham.

Egypt’s Manager has had a mad one saying they deserved to win. They absolutely shat the bed for the last fifteen minutes, looked knackered, stopped tracking back and devoid of ideas. They lost because they totally capitulated.

My mate said the Sam’s just before Argentina scored their first. He is now firmly ridiculed in the chat and if we lost say to Argentina in the semis, it’ll probably go down as ridiculously as the time another of my mates said Harry Kane is a one season wonder. 😂 Some things will always be brought up, and never lived down.

Half expecting Donald Trump to turn around and declare all the Belgians were in the US illegally and that the result should be voided. 😂

Cristiano Ronaldo makes it all about him doesn’t he. Standing on his own. Cameras surrounding him. Crying. Not with his teammates. Not even attempting to shake hands with people and be gracious in defeat. Wet wipe.
