Beattie / Parhars?

Well, an easy metric is they were 1 goal worse. And we had a goal disallowed in that one that could have easily been given on another day. Still, I’m sure we can outdo Burnley on Tues - we dont want anyone taking our ‘we are the shittest’ badge.

Well, i didnt know that! Wonder who has the tallest squad int he EPL? We have the softest, so doubt it could be us...

Yep, think 10 goals would be a good return from him, he has improved since last season, still has ability to get better next season also.

Howe many prem goals has Che got now? Is that 9?

Think he is on loan from Lyon. Or maybe Lille.

We did a McGoal. He is shit anyway - he will never get 20 goals in a season 😉

What a load of old pony Efrain Ekoku spouts. Che Adams doesn’t not drop off mor than Ings, leaving Ings up top as a 1. It cant be true, I heard otherwise on here 😂

Howe big is Fraser - he must be fairly close to Verstergard in height?

I think Mini is better than he has shown for us, if he was cheap I could see us being interested. Tella, maybe - he is likely to get better and better, and needs games to do that. For me, whilst I dont really bash our players, I’d not be unhappy seeing Nathan or Moussa ever play for us again.

So if there is a clause about paying less the more he plays, it would have been in the contract when we signed him on loan. We didnt just forget about it, when Liverpool supposedly said something. I just think sometimes we want to find an excuse to sit with what we think - in this case you dont like him playing over some of our players, which I understand. Maybe Ralph is looking at him with a view to next year - that seems plausible. Also, who would you play in his role? Tells? He has done ok, but not much better than ok atm, which is fine as he has broken through, due to injuries, and taken a big forward step. He still needs to improve. I also dont think Minamino has been as bad as a small minority on here sometime make out.

That’s Pony - what if Redmond gets the assist to Minamino 🤷‍♂️ Jan is gone. Must be Jack’s turn today. Although one dick head on here tried to claim Nate didnt get an assist - just a hopeful lump into the box 🤔

Then Ralph and I are clearly aligned then Matt. Maybe we are the same person. Thanks for pointing that out though btw, I wondered what it meant when i read the article 🤣

He certainly will be next season... I'd agree though, have zero interest in RLC if it was a straight loan. Loan to buy I could with, for decent fee and wages. But that ain't happening. How did AMN play for W Brom? I wasnt keen on him either. Seems like a Villa signing to me next season.

Quite possibly but Villa wasn't local either.

The biggest bollocks is he wants a fee for a player out of contract 🤑

Ah what does Blackmore know, he has a shit attitude as well 😉

We did need the cash yes, and I still think it was good business. At the start of the season, we had cover for both positions. But both turned out no where near good enough when called on. Partly bad planning, however we tried to get Williams and were told near the end of the window it wasnt happening. With how bad both were, I saw the sense of not having them around. And I literally have no answer to you saying about waking up on 1st July thinking shit, we have no left back - are you not aware they have already been looking for a LB for 1st team, and are looking at possible cover for both Left and Right back? - anyhow, will leave you to think that if it makes you happy😂

This seems rather subjective to say the least. We have been looking for LBs for a while now, even had RB stayed, we needed someone to take over the baton in 6-12 months. That at the very least is succession planning. We even tried to get Brandon Williams all of last season on loan, likely with a view to purchase. That again is succession planning. Did you think we were going to just wake up on 1 July or whine RBs contract officially ends and think ‘has anyone seen Ryan, he hasn’t shown up for work’. Also, youre saying we are going to have to pay £12-15m for RBs replacement - I’d agree. Didnt we get £16-17m for Targett? So that means we got more for the outgoing player than we will spend on the incoming one? And what if, we there is every possibility, we get RBs replacement that is better than Targett?

Ahem to lots of posts above.

The only thing I could think of is a game after the season restarted last year perhaps. But yeah, is strange. Just hoping tonight isn’t as boring as the opening fixture.

Yeah, I did know. I’m in a jovial mood tonight, no idea why as I had my vaccine first thing this morning and not feeling so good.

I think it was a shit show from our beleaguered manager that he didnt play in the last game. Just no consistency with Ralph.

I’m confused. I thought it was Diallo and Salisu who were hungry???

But not the original one? ok then, as you were.
