Oh. The Che and MF upfront question.

RH 'we should never lose our pressing'. Interesting, since we didn't much last weekend.

Foreplay. Be patience. Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey etc.

Will Ferry signing for Cheltenham Town. Didn't he get a couple of first team run outs during the injury headache a few seasons ago?

Exactly the positions we're recruiting for: linked today with CHO.

£15M seems cheap for what is and established, 'average' prem striker. Average in the sense of his goals return.....not many get more than 10 in a season. Maybe a fallout with Ralph? Maybe he's been told he won't get a new contract (or doesn't want one perhaps)? Maybe SR have their sights set on replacement(s) who are much better? Looking forward to the end of window merry-go-round.

We're open to selling McCarthy, according to The Athletic. Good!

Yep. I just don't see what he brings to the team.

Our summer business isn't done yet: the window doesn't SLAM shut until 1st September. Maybe worth waiting until then to rate this window's business.

I wonder if there are posts on any other teams forums, with posters saying how they really need to be signing Redmond, Bednarek, Valery, etc? My gut feel is that the odds are against this.

Would be great for us, but obviously not the type of signing we make.

Yep. The AA leaving rumours have gone quiet too. Wasn't he linked to Watford a few weeks ago?

I reckon we've reached an agreement to sell him, but won't finalise it until we get the striker we're chasing. Dominoes.

Nope. I'm not buying that.

I'm trying to be positive: we never win our opening match and Spurs will be pushing for top 4. The lack of a proper striker really showed today: AA was hopeless: no movement and zero ability to hold up the ball. Powder puff upfront. Guess Adams is off? Why else wouldn't he have been picked (plus the few pre-season run outs). Still have work to do with the squad: how can Bednarek, Valery and Stephens still be getting game time? With that defence, it was never going to be tight. Guess ABK isn't up to speed yet. And Djenepo instead of Perraud?! No need to push the panic button quite yet. Just the first game of the season. I'm still pro Ralph. But can we sign Coady please? And a proven striker? Preferably one who's a bit of a beast. Oh, and another creative player. And while we're at it, how about shifting Djenepo, Bednarek, Stephens, Valery, Redmond and AA?

No yellow? How!?

Oh dear. 4-1

I do think Adams would work well with Aribo upfront. Maybe he is moving on.

AA and Valery.

Stephens and Stu on.

JWP!!

Presumably some late window madness to enjoy in the next few weeks. I'm off to a sex-shop in Stoke to stock up with TV presenter essentials. Anyone want anything?

We'll be fine, assuming we get the new starting striker in. Champions: Man City Next bunch - Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham Next bunch - United, Newcastle, Villa, Middles (any order...from these) - Leicester, Palace, Wolves, Brentford, Brighton, Saints Bottom 3 from - Forest, Everton, Leeds, Fulham, Bournemouth

Personally, I did care for the post highlighting that it is unlikely many people care. However, the post suggesting people may not care about people having posted their views on caring did not sit so well. In short, I did not care for it. I think. Confused myself a bit to be honest. Still not recovered from all the jizz stuff earlier.
