And no, I don't know who the fuck TBR Football are either

 

Oooo TBR Football.

 

I'm not giving them clicks but I'm gonna guess there isn't a single quote.

Are you suggesting Gemmill is a bit of a Colin Robinson ?

[Gemmill 48434]

Great BANTZ lads. If one of you could PM me when it's over, I want to binge it all in one go. 

[Dr Gloom 23068]

Romano says Galatasaray back in for Trips but Howe doesn’t want to lose him 

[Gemmill 48434]

This is one we should knock back unless it's mental money. 

[aimaad22 4492]

Totally agree that Almiron and Kelly werent offering anything so these are good deals we should have taken.

 

But with zero replacements? I'm not sure. Not even a loan for cover? If there's a couple of injuries we're in trouble. I think it's a risk considering we're sitting in a CL place and a cup semi.

 Someone must have told Kelly it waa fancy dress and he's gone Kim Jong Un. Classic Kelly. 

 

 

[Alex 36179]

Aye, he be sold on the basis of that outfit alone

And what wages are you looking for Lloyd ?

 

[Gemmill 48434]

 

Hope now reporting the £20m as an option. Makes a lot less sense if they can send him back once they see he's cack. 

[sammynb 3725]

If it's a buy option, then it ia cack deal for us because as you say, they can send him back and we are out a warm body that covers LB and LCB. Makes fuck all sense.

As for this, Trips is someone we should be getting off the books asap, his legs are gone, he's on big money and he generally looks pissed off for whatever reason - personal life/not being first choice/not being allowed to go to Bayern this time last year.
I have more faith in Kelly doing a job than Trips these day.

The actual article says it’s an obligation to buy rather than an option.

[Gemmill 48434]

That's alright then. I didn't bother clicking through.

 

Hot Mitch Summer is back on.

He’s fast becoming Miggy in an attacking sense. Everything grinds to a halt whenever he gets a hold of the ball. If he can’t deliver set pieces anymore then he offers nothing.

 

You can see exactly why Howe barely gives him a sniff these days. He was probably the most important transfer post-takeover because of his leadership on the pitch, and I am sure some of the transfers happened because we had a winner like him on board but he’s finished at this level now IMO. Tino pisses me off Maxi/Miggy style when he forgets he’s an England international, and trips over his own feet but his defensive work more than makes up for it. Especially, since we have Hall as the creative full back anyway.

[Holden McGroin 7243]

Aye. It’s odd cos Tino started off looking good going forward and positionally suspect. Now he looks solid defensively but not very effective getting forward.

 

i think his touch (especially his first) needs a lot of work. I shit my pants when a ball goes up in the air to him when he last man.

[sammynb 3725]

Tino's pace more than makes up for any deficencies he has, has to be our quickest player and his positional sense when runing/tracking his man is spot on.
