    Yes a strange clips video. Seen a few comments below it about it not really being a positive showreel. Hope he does the business. At least we may get a few set pieces off his play and he looks strong. Good luck to the lad.

    Bournemouth triggered the Adams relegation clause too late so we’re forced to pay £24m to get the deal done. Seems Bournemouth have got their own back and used a disputed relegation clause and got a £35m player for free

    And we get to make him into a proper player before giving him back to Bournemouth

    Adams stood out in the Premier League last season, had 4 years left on his contract, and we still only got either£23m or £24m.

    Forest's Brennan Johnson went to Spurs for circa £50m

    Sheffield United deserved that. Created some problems for themselves but the better overall side so far in this game. Still worry they won't score enough though. Meanwhile Everton should be concerned by this typical Dyche performance so far.

    Everton and Bournemouth on my hit list now.

    Southampton may have made lots of dosh this summer but they're getting a stuffing at Sunderland today. 3-0 at HT and 4-0 after 49 mins

    You know the team is in a better place when nobody asks when Cooper or Bamford are back.

    2 players Leeds were trying to get will probably be the players that keep the blunts in the premier league (if they can) Cameron Archer 2 goals and Gustavo Hamer who scored last week and creates goals for fun and maybe the blunts best player today.

    Best you can say about that Wendies game is that FARKE all really needs upgrading now. Spence looks like a massive upgrade over Bill who didn’t defend badly but also not defended well. His forward play should have been better but he squandered a couple of chances and he had no end product going forward. On the other side Shaks doesn’t want to upset Gnonto so they both run out of ideas. Summerville hold the ball just too much and always takes the wrong option when holding it too long that means we get no decent ball into danger areas from out wide on both sides. It also means we have a 9 and 10 not involved for big parts of the game. Emu said it on another thread, its like watching Wengers Arsenal doing tippy tappy and going nowhere.

    A clean sheet though but it just shows that journeymen nobbers like Barry Bannon can kill you and also shows we should have had someone like him. Yes we may already have him but can’t wait to see how Gueve and Kamara come on now. Hoping to see Ayling sitting on the bench as Spence showed something special in the few minutes he had on. Cannot fault Rutter or Piroe they need the ball and yes Rutter could have done better with the one chance he got, but.

    Thinking this game will be the last we see of bore draws at ER

    Do you mean “won’t” be the last of the bore draw’s because I think many will come and park the bus. Away from home might suit us better

    Yes we can all carry on talking about it being. Good window and we can carry on talking about promotion. But we really need a reality check unless we start to sort out how to play against the low block. We have scored 7 but need to score between 70 and 100 and we have a 0 goal difference. We are still 7 points off the top and sitting in 15th.

    It’s now time for Farke to step up

    Does he? Pretty sure he wanted Sinisterra, Adams and Wober (who he made captain) still here. He’s playing with the hand dealt to him.

    Also suspect Kamara and Gueve might not have been first choice.
