Aaron Ramsdale falls one more place down the pecking order

He was their fifth choice apparently and one of the reasons their fans are in open revolt against their owners. Their window was an absolute car crash, they screwed it up so badly that they finished with only 18 senior players in their squad and only one recognised centre forward. They’re seriously talking about having to get 40 year old free agent Vardy in until January, or playing Alcaraz as no. 9 because other than Barry they don’t have any other options. Absolute carnage.

A tragic figure who deliberately courts hatred and ridicule because he knows it’s the only way he can get attention and that otherwise he’s completely and utterly irrelevant. I can’t even see how his claims can be true, which just makes it even sadder. A referee not blowing their whistle for 20-25 minutes in a top flight professional match? It’s not even a credible lie. He’s a fantasist, bullshitting to try and impress the cool kids. Just another cringeworthy act from a truly pathetic little man.

Attention seeking behaviour from Mike Dean? I simply don’t believe it

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Swansea City to give Ross Stewart a three year deal

Start your strongest side, go hard from kick off, try to get out of sight by 60 minutes and then once you're ahead sub off those who most need to be protected e.g. Larin, Leo. Starting with a weaker side and then if it's not working bringing the bigger guns off the bench later in the game when there's less time to affect it is so much more high risk. Also, it's a shame that the day after the transfer window closes, when we should be licking our lips at all our new options, we're instead talking about who we need to rest because we don't have enough depth in key areas, but there we are, that's life as a Championship club who needs to balance the books with the parachute money running down. Once our key targets fell through in the last 24-36h I suspect the approach became to keep a bit of wedge in reserve, get through to January and then make one or two surgical additions based on the proven needs exposed by the first half of the season (like we did last year when we brought in Larin and Peretz in Jan), rather than just panic buying whatever was left before 11pm last night and leaving ourselves with no funds for the rest of the season. Which, while not ideal, does make sense.

We can’t sign anyone now. The English window’s closed. Outgoings only.

Which TARGET STRIKER did they try to get?

Literally literally?

Classy player, enjoyed watching him, scored some important goals and too good to spend another season in the Championship. Has earned another shot at a higher level, just a shame it wasn’t with us. Wish him well, good luck to him.

Saw him play for Rangers in the SPL a few times with mixed results. Started off alright, but quickly regressed along with the rest of the team, although to be fair to them all they were being asked to play demented football by a be-curtained buffoon. His main problem is that he's Larios-levels of teeny tiny. He'd get annihilated in the Prem.

Such a brave, brave hombre and trains like el toro. Has a tendency to play it backwards and sideways though. Will he bring Matéus Gill with him?

He sounds ideal
