We’ve already ‘ad a dire striker or two play for us.

We just need to let them walk through and tap it into an empty net from kick off, so we can get started.

I saw that and assumed it was something along those lines. Clearly some womble making these decisions doesn’t know the difference between shame and what I want to see when I’m eating my lunch. I can’t wait for the averts with some guy waving his limp todger around because we shouldn’t be shaming erectile dysfunction.

I hear he commits a lot of bad fowls.

I’ll give him another game.

Not the ‘dead Russian leader’ news I wanted this morning.

I don’t rate him at all but we don’t have enough depth to not play one of him, Walcott or Redmond at some point.

If Son marries daughter, won’t their children be inbred?

OMG wow, it’s almost as if people on the internet are just pushing the same made up rumours around the internet to generate clicks and retweets.

I’ve just checked and Christ, it’s worse if anything. Including the first ever league game at St Mary’s, we’ve W1 D2 L10. That’s not including a 5-1 Cup defeat under Adkins.

I never get the logic of why people say that. In what way does it make the club look better if we try and fail to sign a bunch of players? I think it’s pretty clear we are after a forward although whether a suitable player if forthcoming and within our budget remains to be seen.

Players don’t care about stadiums and how ‘big’ a club is, they care about money and the chance to play in the premier league, which in turn leads to more money. I could see something like this happening.

Basically the same team IMO. Keep Mara and either Stu or Aribo to change things second half.

Mings isn’t going to come here and be back up. One of JS/JB will leave and we’ll be left with a bog standard 4 senior CBs and Valery as an option in an emergency. We aren’t bringing in another CB.

Wait… we are talking about the same guy who scored 4 goals in 40 appearances last season? I know he’s 21 and English but this can’t be true.

Mount to score, obviously.

WTF was that defending? 😆

What people are missing is that the use of five subs has fundamentally changed the game; the best XI players don’t necessarily start the game any more. Two years ago we lost this game, having been 2-0 up, because they were able to bring on Cavani whilst we brought on Shane Long. We’re going to need something on the bench to up the ante second half, and that something isn’t Moi.

Looks like four at the back again. Decent team that, on paper at least, good to see Perraud back.

Airport drop off fees, there was an article on them on the Beeb this morning. Wont be long before someone gets killed in a traffic accident because they were dropped off on a roundabout or lay-by, 1/4 mile from the terminal.

Im aware he’s seen more of an attacking midfielder, he’s still an attacking option we didn’t have last year who looks like he has goals in him. Doesn’t work like that, transfers have gone down to the final hours of the window for as long as there’s been one. This isn’t like doing your homework on the school bus at 0835, it’s all part of the dynamics of the market. Complete speculation, we won’t have any idea on that until after the WC probably. West Ham (who’s form dropped off a cliff much like ours at the end of last season), Leicester, Brighton, Brentford and Leeds could all have taken a big step backwards, we just don’t know.

If the Leicester game had panned out the other way around, everyone would be raging that, having taken the lead through a set piece in a cagey game, Ralph was completely out-thought by a far more adept and versatile manager, with a much better plan B.

We’re clearly looking for a striker, if we can’t find one within our budget then what do you want us to do? We’ve replaced Broja with Aribo and Mara, which on early showing is hardly a tragedy even if we get nobody else. I don’t particularly give a sh*t how the club try to spin anything.

I was wondering which insufferable helmet was going to score the inevitable winner against us at Goodison this year. Now I know.

I don’t get the reference. We’re quite obviously not lacking a tall, physical CB. Even Bednarek, for his faults, is 6’ plus and gets stuck in.
