Pat from Poole

Wayne Bridge in as defensive coach? I guess not…..

Good manager, Howe. Got unlucky with chronic injuries at Boscombe. Could easily see him at Saints, and think he would do well. I see Lampard mentioned on this thread, He has a pad at Studland. Just over the water from his coont of an uncle. But possibly convenient for Saints…..

None of Bournemouth’s defence are good enough for the Prem.

Still some way to go before Armstrong signs. Still has to agree personal terms. Adam Blackmore’s tweet today hinted this may not be a formality.

Looks like there might be a Saints player going to Blackburn as part of the deal…. https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1424706568667471877?s=21

Palace also looking at Lookman….

Meanwhile Lookman appears to be available and not going to Burnley. Worth a punt?? So long as he doesn’t take penalties obviously….

We’re not good enough in the key parts of the pitch. We are half-decent in midfield, but that’s just for the pretty passing in the middle-third of the pitch. It doesn’t win matches. We don’t have enough guile to score the goals we need, and we are liable to concede at any time. Plus we won’t have the positivity in the ground for home games that the fans of the 3 promoted teams will create, particularly Brentford. I very much fear this will not end well.

Might be a loan deal. Keep the cash for a striker.

Our form in the 2021 calendar year has been shocking. I’d take 17th now if you offered it to me.

There are quite a few IPTV options around. Best used with a VPN.

It’s a great watch. But you’re right. There is every chance that could soon be us. Though their senior management team in League 1 were very David Brent….

It was. We unbelievably went with Pellegrino’s choice of Carillo.

This will end up being another random South American. Can just see it. Senmens sowed the seed for this at the fans forum a few months ago.

Any streams likely to be available for the Fulham game? Presumably it’s not on our YouTube channel (?)….

As they say, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.

Pascal Gross is an interesting rumour.

He’s a good player. I would be happy with him.

Yes, Adams. Have you seen Walcott’s finishing??!!??

+1.

Walcott looks to have put on quite a lot of weight to me. Wonder if he has developed the football brain that Chris Waddle infamously said he lacked....

Presumably there would be no option to buy with Brandon Williams (?). Would be very surprised if United allowed that to happen. Similarly with either of the 2 Arsenal wingers we have been linked with. But then aren’t you only allowed to loan 1 player from a Prem club??

Sorry for being off-topic, but Turkish is sadly missed on the UI. Hope to see him back there soon. Back on topic, I can see us getting a couple of loans in by Monday. And then using the extended EFL window to pick up another 1 or 2. Unless some miracles happen with Carillo and Hoedt departing to free up a bit more cash. I’d really like somebody like Kouyate at Palace. A good strong midfielder who can also play CB. Not that Palace would be daft enough to sell him.

I completely agree with Gordon Mockles about Sessegnon. I think he would be terrific for us, and would link up really well with Bertrand. Redmond is a versatile enough player to play on the other side of midfield or alternatively as a more central attacking midfielder. Djenepo shows a lot of promise but isn’t quite consistent enough at the moment.

I can see us signing Sessegnon actually. Spurs want him out as he’s too quiet. Sounds like just the sort of player Ralph would want to sign, somebody who is young and doesn’t have an attitude.
