€70m for Zabarnyi to PSG is a huge fee. Concerns for us I think given we seem to be in the same market for centre backs as Bournemouth.
Don't worry I think that sale takes them to the market above us haha, they'll be trying for some crazy incomings now.
I’m not sure they can shop in that market as they’ll struggle to attract that calibre of player (assuming we’re talking about the same profile) to the club. We’re being ambitious with who we’re targeting but the likes of Diakite and perhaps Bade become realistic (rather than optimistic as they are for us) for Bournemouth at this point in my opinion.
I think that market is probably the likes of Diakite. Ones that seem just on the periphery of possibility for us. That might have been out of our reach anyway though.
Well said. Even coming up to the playoffs there were people calling out the manager, the players and the club. Anyone who doesn't want to renew, go to games or walk out is perfectly entitled ... ... just don't feel you have to make an announcement every time
I've been pulled out at work so missed loads of stories ... ... did everyone get the message that Xhaka has been made captain.
Only seen this post as Smug has quoted it. David Bruce mentioned at the after golf event a few weeks ago ( have I banged on about it enough yet) that the criticism was hard to take last year after everything they’d explained about their plans and how they were going to implement it. He didn’t dwell too much on the negativity but you could tell they were surprised that some weren’t listening to what they were saying. What I will say is that this transfer window has blown everyone away and if relegation (no chance of it in my opinion) does happen the same supporters will Appreciate that we gave it a good go.

Bournemouth will be banking a fair bit of the incoming wedge for the stadium work. I’d suggest they remain bang in the same ‘pot’ as us searching players. We a bigger club, they more established. Their gaffer is a big draw.
There was a period, quite recently, when a percentage of people thought they knew better than the club and weren't afraid to say so. That's fair enough, everyone's entitled to their opinion ... ... it was only when it started to turn nasty that I felt for the players, not my idea of support tbh..
As someone that has a naturally positive outlook I sometimes find it hard to take but I do understand that I look for positives in negatives and I’m not always the best to ask for an opinion as I can go too far with it. But what I have noticed and appreciate is the lads on here that voice negativity during the season and games have all spoken positively about how the club is going about it now. I think we can all learn to appreciate that all opinions matter but I do agree when it turns nasty particularly in the ground it doesn’t help anyone. I’m waffling while I wait to go on the lash so I’ll leave it there. Back later full of vodka to tell everyone to **** off that doesn’t agree with me.
