hypochondriac

He's not good enough for the prem. You have to be ruthless if you want to stay up. He can be a squad player but he shouldn't be starting games for us.

Where are all the posters dismissing me for saying we needed to replace Smallbone in the starting lineup

Dibling looked great. I'd play him from the start to be honest. Smallbone can fuck off to the bench.

Why play five at the back at home? We have to act like we belong in this league rather than trying not to lose.

How are we in a position where we are still bringing on someone like Edozie in the prem? This could be a very long season.

The longer we go without scoring the more difficult this season is going to be. We've needed a proper striker for ages.

Linekers contract ends in 2025. Suppose it depends if it is renewed or not.

I think that Lineker is a bit of a bellend in his personal life but as the main presenter on MOTD he is very good. I hope whoever they choose will be similarly good and then their personality, race, sex etc will be irrelevant.

Hard to know for sure but if we do go down and Ipswich stay up that would probably be a major criticism at the end of the year. I'm not entirely sold on our transfer business at the moment - accept we have another week.

Can't disagree. We've also put a heck of a lot of pressure on Fernandes. He better be something special to use that much of our budget on him. We'll be expecting a lot of assists and chances created.

Pretty sure I'd already said similar. I accept we can't afford to spend that amount in our current situation. Still a shame though.

I know it's not really sensible for us to spend that much on o'riley but it's still a bit of a blow that many of the more 'exciting' signings have gone elsewhere. Ramsdale would be a coup undeniably but I would still like us to get an exciting attacking signing to give me more confidence that we will score enough to stay in this division.

I very much doubt that. Given His pedigree I don't think anyone else in the squad could argue that he deserves his money.

Interesting stat. Let's hope that changes soon!

Indeed. I have had a look around and I can't see many promising domestic strikers available for loan.

It's very likely that the new injury was caused by weakness from the old injury.

Oh god that's appaling.

Fixed it for you.

Unless there is loads of thunder or something I would say almost no chance.

If Armstrong got injured, who would be our alternative? Probably tells you where one of our biggest weaknesses in the squad is.

If our three main strikers get twenty or more goals between them they will have done very well.

If we can afford a player at 25 million plus then why wouldn't we have gone for o'riley?

Who would think otherwise?

Yeah I agree. We've done good business but not unbelievable. Maybe we could get one more attacking signing in to finish things off before the end of the window.
