Saint Matty 76

Wolves probably, he was great in that game. He showed enough glimpses for me to think he'll shine in a worse league, and it'd be another slight blow to sell him this late.

Hopefully we stand firm on that. Refusing less than £30m is completely fine by me, that’d be a good deal even though it’d be another replacement needed.

Loaning him to a team as horrible as Everton would do nothing promising for his value though, so it really makes no sense to me on top of already losing Tella. Would be a horror move. Harwood-Bellis on loan though is still my absolute dream, if we can’t afford for whatever reason.

I probably didn’t phrase that correctly whatsoever. I’m very happy with every piece of incoming business we’ve made so far, other than Holgate. However, the value of those incomings cannot be determined until we find out where they fall and who they’re replacing at the end of the window. They also did good pieces of business last year but the window didn’t work out as a whole. I probably should’ve said that I’m choosing not to trust them until they’ve got a transfer window right.

Again, another good way of looking at it. I hope you’re all right. I’m just not choosing to trust them until they’ve done something right.

You’re not wrong whatsoever. I’d love to turn off completely until September 2nd but the reality is we could either have the best team in the league or a decent one in 3/4 days time. The willingness to sell has me worrying it’ll be the latter, but fingers crossed.

God these rumours are all depressing. I know expectations have to drop slightly but if we’re looking at Drameh, Zeqiri and a currently injured Stewart to replace KWP, Tella and Che. Crikey. (Before somebody needlessly snaps at this, yes we don’t know if that’s the case as of yet. I’m just worried.) The board, and even the club via social media have been very quick to tell us about having the means for serious reinvestment with the sales we’ve made. Combine that with RM’s comment about us looking stronger at the end of the window then last week… hoping for the best but consistently expecting the worst at the minute.

Yeah I agree. I think we quite comfortably have the best midfield in the league. Their attack is pretty intimidating though like you say, and I am becoming increasingly certain we're going to loan Sulemana to Everton for no reason whilst they hold on to Gntonto/Sinisterra/Rutter.

Fair play to Leeds, looked like everything was going wrong down there but I now think they have the best starting 11 in the league (unless we don't sell anyone else, then it'd be pretty close).

Yes. He quite literally could not contribute less than Onuachu will this season for a RM team.

I think most people would be absolutely delighted if he stuck around. I just can't see it personally. Pessimistic hat on but I don't think we'll keep hold of any of ABK, KWP, Sulemana or Che. Keeping any of them would be amazing.

Can't say I care either way for Paintsil, but if it's a deal where we get him in place of Onuachu then it literally can't go wrong.

Not sure. Its never actually been reported what we got for Diallo going to Qatar, weirdly.

Now that's a blast from the past! Hopefully you stick around and have some good news over the next few days.

Martin made it clear that we'll have to pick up points whilst we're improving and we're doing that quite brilliantly, because we weren't great again. Really important week now, fingers crossed we don't fuck it up again.

I do really love Armstrong when he's not up front

He did literally just miss a one on one

He's been great coming on and helping us see out games, in my opinion.

Adam Armstrong is comically bad at dribbling

Been great so far Bazunu, nice to see it.

Brilliant goal! Now let's do that thing where we keep the ball again for 5 minutes.

Worst performance I've seen from us in the league, lack of quality in forward areas looks apparent to me as well. Hopefully it does to the people who matter.

That is horror goalkeeping, but hopefully that gives Edozie confidence to have a shot. Lovely ball from Manning too.

Edozie!!
