    I reckon there is a bid on the table it’s just waiting for us to buy a striker. Once that happens the deal gets done.

    There is no way back for Isak imho but that’s just my opinion. Ofc your entitled to yours also.

    It's not pointless for the reasons being explained to you.

    Harsh to judge Elanga so early, plenty of promise. Barnes on the other hand. Just don’t get it. Fine from the bench at a push but the sooner someone starts up front and gets Gordon back where he should be the better. Really want Hall back as well.

    Hall will be frozen out again for ages I suspect.

    He probably popped on here and read a couple of Roly's comments... Just his general comments, not even the ones about him.

    Barnes is predictable and only Americans wouldn't see beyond his shooting.

    Well, yeah, because he was crap at Leicester. He's not done a lot to change opinion. He doesn't really work in this formation either, there's just not enough ability in him.

    The Americans and the goal stat generations love Barnes. No matter how many times things break down at his feet they just keep pointing at his shooting.

    Leicester fans said he was frustrating and they were right.

    In this match it was just more of the exact same. Can every so often cut in and shoot, but most decent defenders worked this out years ago. His passing is dreadful - wrong choices, wrong weight - decision making poor, his runs don't really work, he's just an excruciatingly average player.

    50 million btw... That's a very bad buy then.

    Our signings are OK but worrying so far this summer... It could go either way..

    Strange that's not what you were saying the other day.
    Gangster gets gip for flopping but this season you're above him by miles in the flip flop League.

    About Barnes?


    The second part says it could go either way... Strikers not signed so talking as we stand.

    You don't think we need some goals? I was talking collectively. It could still go either way ie we could get some goalscorers or we may not.. There's no guarantees.

    My explanation wasn't great maybe.

    Ahh, but you’re relying on facts. That’s the only difference.
