I do wonder if this means another loan is on the cards, if this is true and they have turned down West Ham’s bid. If it does we could still be in the running, sign a striker, get Broja as a loan = 2 strikers, job done ! 🤣

Bloody ridiculous from Lancashire to call foul ! It must be something in the water in the North West that makes them feel like they are always wronged!! The batsmen failed to hit the ball twice, bowled the first time, missed the second. Wouldn’t have mattered if the fielders had all been on the boundary drinking tea ! What did they want? Best of 5 goes? There were some dodgy decisions throughout that final, as a former PM said recently “thems the breaks”

Is the only reason we dont play with wingers (Redmond, Walcott, Djenepo) because the wide men we have are crap though ?

Yeah as much as I liked him if we are paying £30 million I would want someone more proven I think.

I was hoping it wouldn't be him but was expecting it to be honest. umm....

in other words a younger Shane Long !

17 million apparently 😵

I think if we are relying on Adams to score many we are in deep brown stuff territory. Feel free to quote this tweet when he’s banged in 15-20 for the season though 😂

That’ll be Speedie and Dixon !! Im not sure if Monkou didn’t come as a result of the Shearer money. He was the only decent player Branfoot bought anyway.

I’d be keeping my money in my pocket thanks. If true, and it’s a big IF, being in The Sun it’s a little bit double standards by Matt who has been spouting in interviews about respecting everyone’s opinion & the way they want to live their life even if he doesn’t agree with it etc etc.

3 have gone and soon to be number 5 has come in.

Surely Ake is not the Rudiger replacement? That’s like replacing VVD with Bednarek!

I know the feeling 😂

This might be quite interesting because if Broja wants to be playing regularly, wants to be the main striker at a club then if we do want him we must jump to the top of the list. He’s not getting guarantees at Newcastle or West Ham although I guess he could at Frank Lampard’s Everton. If he’s just chasing a big pay packet then we have no chance.

Absolutely, the main reason people view last season as bad is because the last third of the season we didn’t simply hit a bad run of form, we were horrendous and it looked for all the world like the players had just given up and didn’t care. Add to that the change of style of play after the Chelsea hammering to something….well it wasn’t safer cos we still let in a load of goals. There we’re pretty big alarm bells being sounded, and it’s no wonder the optimism levels for the new season are reserved at best.

He really doesn’t.

I think Aribo is more of the attacking player you speak of rather than a JWP/Lavia/Romeu/Diallo role.

If he’s better than Djenepo, Redmond and Walcott he’ll do for me.

That’s been all over Twitter since yesterday if you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about !

What the system where we abandoned the pressing game, conceded shed loads of goals and had one forward so isolated he was virtually in a different post code to the rest of the team? Could be !

If Armstrong is so highly rated then picking Long in front of him as Ralph did at the end of last season is a bloody strange way of showing it. But that’s Ralph for ya !

Yes he made over 25 appearances for them

Bloody hell i had forgotten that complete waste of space. I think I saw him on the pitch once in a pre season friendly. He seemed to hang around for a long time but that could just be my imagination playing tricks.

Yeah thanks for nothing Brentford ! Took a chance on him when nobody else would and get repaid by him hot footing it to United. Charming

I actually like that, it sounded horrendous from descriptions but yeah it’s pretty smart
