Yeah have to win the game... look what happened vs Brighton... somehow lost... anything can happen

I went to the Bournemouth game yesterday. Recently I have seen some of the best performances I've ever seen from the cherries at home so I thought they would give Brighton more of a game but Brighton were really really good. Proper decent side.

Yeah, you could see why we were after João Pedro.
 
We should seriously be considering a move for Liam Delap imo.

21, 6ft 1, strong 12 games 6 goals.

Type of player we should be signing.

We need to be picking him up when he leaves City. We’re always one step behind, hence why we end up shopping at Bournemouth and Burnley.
 
According to sky sports we've got nothing to spend in January without player sales.

I would love delap and Hutchinson.

When you look at the Tonali and Barnes signings you have to point at that 100 million and ask if we'd have been better off signing other players. The answer is yes isn't it?

I suspect Tonali doesn't like it here or something and Barnes really we just didn't need him.

Who is behind our transfers the past 2 years?

As per Amazon was mainly Howe, with Ashworth and Staveley, wasn’t it?

If it's Howe then the clubs future really is in jeopardy if he's allowed any more. Whoever it is has made a mess of it that's for sure.

They rinsed the budget for the next 2 years completely on players in areas they were simply not required and they did absolutely nothing creative in the market either.

There's not been one purchase where you think ok some talent they've located at a fairly low price that's better than Ashley's dross.

When this takeover went through I don't think any of us would've believes that 3 years later we'd still be using Longstaff schar Murphy on a regular basis with Lloyd's Kelly being here on 150k a week... it's a train crash happening and we're going to end up like Everton at this rate.

It must've been a collective failure... Mitchell clearly saw it and got **** for letting us know.
 
Anyway they really have killed the champions league with this format. The games literally carry no meaning whatsoever...... the **** clubs will be out , the top 24 I think for through so nothing interesting can happen for months of the competition.

I suspect even for the clubs in it that it lacks excitement at this stage because they know they'll get through or that they're going out no matter what occurs in the case of the **** clubs.
 
Our scouting is none existent.

Signing Hall and Livermento albeit both good signings at a major cost.

Have we made one signing under the radar that was cheap and looks class.

Yes one and we sold him. Minteh!

Will Osula must be thinking it’s a joke. Wilson preferred within 5 seconds of his latest injury. As if he hasn’t let the club down enough, Howe still immediately picks him.
 
Once we're out the cups and Europe is gone I think the penny might drop, but I'm getting the impression that no matter what occurs Howe will be absolved of any blame and be allowed to go on and on.

Perhaps he'll get more money and sort things out, but I have major doubts at this point.

Only time will tell.

If I was Osula u would be frustrated at best. Angry at worst.

He court have been playing for Sheff Utd in a promotion push. Currently he’s wasting his talent.

I am just a bit bored of Howe.
