Summer window

Couldn't agree more.

It would be nice if people wouldn't keep dismissing young talent as 'kids' ...

... it shows the posters up as infantile, not the players.

 

Any update for those of us slogging away at work

I’d like an older, vocal decent centre back alongside Ballard and a good DM who’s got a good 5 years of football at a decent level under his belt. Think those 2 positions are vital and you need your leaders in the middle to organise everything. Hendo was a perfect example at Liverpool, it was like having a manager on the pitch. Feel like we don’t really have anyone who can lead like that, Pritchard is probably the closest thing we have and he’s not a starter. Other than that I couldn’t give a ****e.

Call me daft but I think Spurs giving Son the captaincy is just madness.

Fishpaste and his "everything's ok alarm"

There never was a deal man

 

Offer and the player wanted it but we didn't accept.

 

100% agree with all of that Smug.
Also, as I said to my youngest son earlier when there seemed to be a bit of negativity and talk of a toxic atmosphere tomorrow, this is the time we as real fans stand up and be counted. Even if the transfers today don't meet individuals expectations that is not the fault of the 19 players who will pull that shirt on tomorrow and we should rally round them.more, because, as the song is sung to them "I can't help falling in love with you"

 

Let’s hope we can now offer him what he’s worth and get him tied down to a new deal

 

100% agree.

 

I will be livid if we don’t announce Rusyn with wise men say mind

 

Like I say. There never was a "deal"

 

Sorry yeah, wording. No deal agreement. Correct.

 

Worrying if Roberts wanted to go, but am sure a nice fat pay rise will cure what ails him........

 

if he impresses he will sign for whoever has parachute payments next season

 

If we wants away I’d pack his bags and take the money. As mentioned before he was ****e until he dropped to L1 with us. Easily replaceable. We have young lads upping sticks from all over Europe to come here and play for us.

Also didn’t realise Burstow scored for Chelsea against Dortmund in pre-season. Came off the bench a few times in the PL for them already this season too.

 

Think it’s like any walk of life if you feel your employer doesn’t value you you want to go, doesn’t mean it can’t be resolved either mind especially with the incoming Stewart money
