Manchester United would be mental to let him go to West Ham as things stand mind. Surely that’s the one situation where it makes more sense them letting him sit? He could strengthen a side that’s directly competing with them.

I forgot how fucking brutal deadline day coverage is .

What a fantastic analyst Merson is btw, he’s just said Ramsey to Rangers doesn’t make a lot of sense as you have a Scottish team helping him get game time before Wales have to play Scotland. That’s definitely Rangers priority isn’t it Paul

It’s been a great window, but we really could do with another CB I know it seems greedy to say . Hopefully if this is it Burns and one of our current lot with Bruno shielding them and improved fullbacks will make us look way more solid, but without seeing a couple of games with all these pieces it just feels like we needed 2 CBs. Like I say though cracking window, know nothing about Eketike but I assume he’s amazing and will become the next Henry.

Remember when they thought the two tossers that bought them using their own parachute payments were miles better to have than the billionaire that spunked fortunes on them? They are a fan base that fucking adored a neo nazi, and proudly backed a nonce, then have the brass neck to call themselves classy compared to us because some drunk idiot punched a horse. Never mind the shameful scenes when they had their day out at wembley and half of Sunderland bathed themselves in Trafalgar Square fountain while what I can only assume is a woman in their world voided her bowels and strutted around starkers in the fountain to the applause of the orc hoard. Despite all this they still genuinely think they’re some fondly thought of, impressive club. They really are the best local rivals you could dream of having mind. Even at our lowest ebb and a second relegation under Ashley they refused to kick on, in fact they started the magic run they’ve been on since, with such classic phrases that bit them on the arse like “cos weeeyah in the premeeahhh leyygue they aren’t”, “if we were playing the likes of Rotherham every weeyk we’d be top of the leyygue as well”, and who can forget “enjoy your trip to Burton”.

Aye, for me it’s just another extension of this delusion they have about being a third division side. They always reel off a list of Championship or even PL level managers every time the vacancy comes up (or they’re hoping it comes up), iirc last time they were saying they should get Chris Wilder ffs. If they don’t get promoted it’ll be their 5th season in the third tier, I don’t understand when they’re going to wake up to the facts and realize they’re not a PL team that’s on a brief stint out the league but will be back soon, it’s very possible they won’t ever be back in the PL. Even if they do go up it’s not like they’ll just fly up the Championship, they’re struggling to keep pace with Wigan and Rotherham who will themselves be among the weakest in the league, they’ll be fucking miles behind sides like Fulham who are themselves miles behind even shit PL sides.

Aye that’s not how it works is it? Or wouldn’t every team become class? They’re a shit club that’s ran like shit, they can talk about how they’re a historic English club and the rest of it but the lower leagues are littered with clubs of similar backgrounds, it means nothing when you are a basket case. Their fan base at this point is also completely delusional to the point that their owners have had to pretend another bloke is in charge.

I’m in love. What a bloke man.

Villa won’t ever kick on much more than their current level tbh. Digne clearly didn’t back himself like Bruno does, which is fine but we need players that have balls so massive they can barely run. Not ones with tiny minuscule balls like Digne.

Yeah I think it’s borderline, not saying I’ll give them pelters mind as they’ve made good signings with the rest just this one to me would be one I’d probably not bother with. I agree though maybe him not being that injury prone helps. I’m probably being greedy tbh I’m just tired of watching dross like Ritchie, Manquillo, Dummett etc at full back and he’s a similar level of dross. Like I say if we do loan him I hope I’m wrong he does well and we can get a proper left back in the summer.

That’s where I’m at, Burn is better than what we have, Woods is better than all bar Wilson. Targett? It’s debatable, I agree maybe because he’s not injury prone but honestly any time I have saw him play he looked shit tbh. Maybe I’m being harsh but I just don’t like the thought of signing him. Andrew is right mind, I can’t grumble too much with a loan but I wouldn’t be a fan of signing him permanently as I wouldn’t even want him as a squad player going forward.

If true he’s the one player I’m disappointed about signing. Personally don’t think he improves on the left backs we have, I think he’s a poor player. Of course if it was to happen I hope I’m wrong.

“If anyone here is afraid to play, pass the ball to me because I want to play and win this trophy." You’ll do for me bonny lad.

It’ll be even sweeter when we leapfrog them.

Reminds me, I wonder if that bloke who calls us “poocastle” still posts on RTG.

Aye you can only register 25 but you can have as many players as you want on the books. That’s why I was never worried about all this deadwood, the new owners will just leave them unregistered and it’s up to them whether they sit about or go and find themselves a new club.

They’ll never learn eh. Him going in there calling them all shite, and trying to intimidate them is definitely going to work. They’re third in the league man shocking result aside they were where they’d hope to be (delusion of being way above that level aside), they’ve likely just derailed their own season because their owners are so desperate to placate their ridiculous fan base. I hope they never change. Could you imagine if roles were reversed man? Imagine losing 6-0 to Bolton then the next day the mackems spent €50m on a 24 year old Brazilian international while we sacked our manager in knee jerk style.

That’s spot on. He’s like the paggered, jaded uniformed officer the detectives ask to do something.

🙄

West Ham have had a bid of £50m for Kalvin Phillips rejected that’s exactly the type of way I hope they keep pissing their money away so we can rapidly make up ground and overtake the repugnant cunts. Turgid player.

I hope it’s mental. I want all of the reports going, Gemmils ban on Wykiki posting mental itk’s should be revoked. I want sightings of Haaland trying on shoes in JD sports on Northumberland street.
