Burnley now in for Bolasie

Stuart Taylor was a great one.... but not as good as this chap Football Tweet ‏ @Football__Tweet 8m8 minutes ago Paulo Lopes. Benfica's 40-year old third choice goalkeeper. He's just retired having played 11 games in 13 seasons for the club, winning 12 trophies.

Given we have 42m out on loan, just employed/sacked the worst manager I have ever seen, a keeper who was given an extension to his contract and now 4th choice - why are you all still in a job?

I was surprised Valery wasn't asked to come on over for the recent friendlies rather than play left footed right backs.

I cant see anyone sticking their neck out to be shot at on here!

Just you....did you miss that mazy run... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

i think that's because of the quality of them safety in numbers the trouble there's not one decent one. Not one positive from yesterday's game...maybe Moi. Our dumbing down of the squad in the last few years is going to pay. Look at our bench nearly all Championship at best. Why bring on Long not Gallagher to give him a chance to shine again? Sorry if so negative but yesterday was embarrassing Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

why are we still struggling with the right back position at this stage of pre season? Its not a difficult position to fill surely our great recruitment team can find one in the whole of Europe. At worst get Ayling from Leeds at least we dont have to put someone there out of position. At least we could then revert to 4-4-2 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

£4.40 for a can of Tetleys the other night....Brighton used to have a cask of real ale from local area of team they were playing It was Ringwood best when Ricky got sent off 0-3 loss. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I sort of agree but not with the wide player bit he seemed to play down the middle not wide last night - can't see how we will fit him and Armstrong in starting 11 if we play 2 up front which would be Gabbi/Austin. PEH/Lemina/Armstrong with Cedric and Bertrand giving the width is how I see us going. One thing really evident is that Davis should not be near the first team now good servant but doesn't have the pace now shame - JWP looked miles above him and with Romeu to fit in as well with Moi we have loads of options to fit in. Still would like a RB and Striker.

Perhaps its you thats needs to read what I wrote....the goals were the blame of whom I said...we could have closed down - Bednarek was still at the WC you will see loads of this from players that were there at start of season. As for Hughes - B'mouth 1 goal, Everton robbed 1 goal, Leicester 0 goals, Man City only scored when we had taken eye off game in injury time, Swansea no goals...yep your right Hughes cant get defence right. FWIW I or many others didn't want him until it was too late and we had no choice - he deserves the chance to give it a go by keeping us up. Is it right long term...probably not but after the last year....maybe you should at least give him a chance? The defence isn't right we are missing Cedric and Yosh still...I still would like a tall quality right back and another quality defender as Hoedt well has lost it...a bit like his control. Out of interest who would you like as manager?

For those that didn't go...the "beers" gone up £4.40 for a bottle of p1ss last night shocking only bought it because we were late.

Why would i watch on match stream I was there. The defence wasnt poor just 2 were and how is that Hughes fault He didnt sign them. Vestergaard has promise doesnt take prisoners. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Agree with that but Moi looks a confident player once he warmed into it. He will need a bit of time with plums not comparing him to the last 6 game Tadic . Will need to settle quickly. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

The first came from Davis giving it away and a worldy strike was that Hughes fault nope! Second was Long .. are either of those defenders?, Nope. Clean sheet second half did you mention that? Was that our starting defence? Keep bed wetting. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Your not moaning any more .....its all gone quiet over there.. Give them a fcking chance....some complete dweebs on that first half thread. Hughes took off the worst 3 players at half time go on give him credit it wont hurt you honest. Still some worrying things but some good performances notably Armstrong and Gabbiadini. Gunn looks very assured. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

No what he needs is to put in some performances. He quite often got good reception from Northam etc then let one in rooted to line. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

because of who we are now owned by and the debt we have to service. In a few years maybe but not until we clear out the fringe and trim down squad. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

it shouldn't be but it is...Carillo 19m do you trust us to spend 27m on a small untried Juanmi like player? Rather than proven? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Do you think we wont jump at an opportunity to reduce the wage bill and free up funds for more team improvements? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I love this thread- Grumpy Old Buggers Rule!!

My hope is that under Hughes we can beat the promoted sides and those down around us - in 6 games against promoted sides last year we didn't win 1! Although Wolves will be tough with their squad - Huddersfield, Cardiff, Fulham should yield better returns.

its the automatic hand brake :-) my mate has Insignia....thats his anger rant at it
