    BBC gossip thing today suggests
    Lingard
    Tarkowski & Mee
    Trippier
    are on Eddie’s radar

    It’s often a load of bollocks but I’d certainly ‘ave ‘em….

    I think Joelinton could be a mean Viera-type midfielder - but would love a Shelvey replacement with a bit more brain and consistency about him to come in.

    What striker would you like?

    (one that we can realistically get in our current circumstances)

    I’m doing my letter to Santa…

    only believe when they have the shirt held up in front of them

    everything else is bollocks

    I'm really interested to see what happens, as I'm still not 100% convinced we're the bottomless pit of money many have suggested. A lot will depend on this sponsorship farce, think it's the 14th Dec when the next embargo lifts.

    Thought this was going to be a complaint thread that you’re double glazing had been delayed. Suppose this means it’ll be done by Christmas. <cheers>

    Farce is spot on - it’s like playground bullies stamping on your new shoes.

    nonetheless, I’m assured the bottomless pit is for real and that the Emir is desperate to flaunt the cash within it and proceed to rub oodles of chilli sauce into the open wounds of the enemy

    I don’t come across as a complainer surely!! I see myself more as hopelessly optimistic ne’er do well that beds the Co-op harem

    I'm a bit disappointed in the link with Trippier. Not because he wouldn't better our team, he most certainly would but RB isn't a priority. Manquillo is great.

    I think it's just upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. What we've got is a load of players starting who should mostly be backup. Some are more urgent - CM, CB, LB but every position could be upgraded. Except Joelinton, of course.

    I understand that but RB is literally the last position in my opinion.

    That’s true, but we can have everyone anyway so the other positions will be filled and the real challenge will be keeping our galaticos happy when not playing :biggrin:

    Double like that…. Joelinton must be over the moon with this new managerial regime and what it’s leading to on a personal level

    No, you don’t but if your windows had been delayed again then that just wouldn’t have been fair especially the way they were cancelled the last time. I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had all got too much for you.

    We need (I WANT) a Didier Drogba type player…. scores with everything, outmuscles defenders, scares the opposition, nets more than once a game.

    I can either -

    a) spend some time picking through my mind and HDQ’s post to see what I can come up with that gives any sense of clarity to the conversation; or
    b) re-read the instructions on this Firestick and try to build up to sticking my new thing in the appropriate hole; or
    c) pour another wine

    Nope…. I think Cans and HDQ hatched a plan here and are laughing at me.

    so, ‘c’ wins <cheers>
