So Stephens (who has to start when fit as captain), Bednarek, Holgate and THB, jeez that’s a tough one to pick two from. Suspect we’ll let ABK go on loan.

I’m more excited at the prospect of Tall Paul leaving than Paintsil coming in.

Fair point, it is a forum that contains a number of whoppers, so shouldn’t be a surprise.

Get money in.. what did you expect exactly? We’ve been RELEGATED, c. £120m per annum gone from our income, on the back of an £80m loan debt and c. £150m spent on transfers. Of course they were going to get money in FFS. What fans forum did you watch? Obviously wasn’t the same one as me. We’re also seeing what the options will be when ‘key’ players like Stephens get injured - you mean the £10m signing from City that slotted in seamlessly last week? Or the loan signing from the Premier league we made? Or the rumoured £10m CB we’re signing from Swansea? Weird post.

Not a chance Charles is on the bench behind those, he is top quality.

Would certainly be one to get you out of your seat.

It was Guan!

Interested as to why you think Leicester are committing to promotion but we’re not?

Yep that’s exactly it, said it was a rolling ball.

Won’t help, but the Swansea owners are notoriously rubbish to deal with anyway. If you watch the Leeds Amazon documentary and the Dan James failed January window transfer, you’ll see why.

Agree on the ref, no ‘howlers’ but general decision making and consistency was garbage. At least 2/3 times their players booted the ball away, no cards. How we ended up with 4 yellows in the first half and they had none was hilariously bad.

Thought Charles was superb, handled Sinclair really well (with Bednarek), always seemed in the right place and didn’t give the ball away. Arma very good and cracking finish, he looked better in a deeper role (made good runs up top but no-one passed it to him). Downes not bad, looked a bit undercooked (sorry Flynn!) but clearly has class and will be important for us. Manning decent going forward, really not good defensively. SAA - too soon for him. Keep to the bench cameos. Alcaraz, no idea what was up with him today. Looked morose and disinterested all game, lucky not to be pulled sooner. Good subs by Martin. Good to win when not at our best, but will need to improve big time if we want to get promoted.

Pretty sure I read somewhere they have the option of a further year?

Again, how is us being in the Championship bolstering their bank balance?

Saw highlights of Shankland for Hearts v Rosenberg, thought he looked good.

If they’re in this to make a profit, then their best chance is getting promoted, you’re not getting rich in the championship. Selling our best chances of doing that and not replacing them doesn’t make sense.

They’ve been linked to everyone we’ve been linked to.

It’s funny you don’t care about the stats now (3 in 3)… it’s almost as if they only tell half a story?

Hove and Wood, then replacing anyone of the first team squad who leave I reckon.

About time we got our obscure Scandinavian quota back up again.

Hmm me too, it might be because I’m going (though last league match I went to was the 4-1 v Brentford). Fear this might be an 80% possession domination, but a 1-0 or 2-1 defeat.

He was that desperate to get out of the move.

I’d have kept him and let him go for free next year, but I get the business decision, not my money to throw away. Puts huge pressure on the club to sort an adequate replacement though. Cannot get this wrong.

He still doesn’t get it 😂 - pathetic.
