Oh no. Our season is over before it has even started. Sack the board, sack Kompany and the whole management team. :? :roll: Don’t think anyone’s really having a meltdown, just calling out what it was - a poor performance. They did seem press hard so hopefully a good fitness test. On to the next one.

I just think the whole loan/bring him back was never going to work. Hopefully a lesson learned for Alan and the team.

I shan’t boo him but he’ll never be a player I can fully get behind now.

2-0 Genk

Only a friendly but if we’re being honest we’ve been very easily second best, certainly 2nd half anyway (only half I’ve watched). Not created anything and Genk have got in behind quite a few times.

We’d be 4-5 down in the Prem.

NewClaret

We’ve looked absolutely crap from what I’ve seen.

(Not a meltdown, just an observation)

Thanks Tony and jtv

No Muric is a worry for me!

Agreed. My office is next door. It would be great if they stock some decent beers. I'd like to see some Bowland and Vocation for instance. Nothing more frustration than the pisspoor selections at some of the town centre bars. Choice of Stella, Kronenbourg, Carling, Heineken... nothing even remotely...

Phil Hay is reporting Leeds want Charlie Taylor and they want it done asap

Really shocked Dyche hasn’t come in for him.

Very good signing for Leeds, I agree.

NewClaret

If an average of 500 return their seats each game (more for some games than others, a lot in half term, evenings etc), that is nearly 10,000 seats at lets say £35 average walk on price so that is £350,000 income for the club, entirely because we have taken the effort to sell our seats back. A bit o...

NewClaret

Agree a share of what we pay is fair, but the admin fee is not, because the club is guaranteed to be quids in when it re-sells the seat for a much higher walk-on price. That’s just greed. Haven’t seem the detail but I am guessing the admin fee is the same for everyone, meaning it is “regressive”, i...

You can't put the club on hold for a few hundred punters who can't commit until the Saturday morning of the game.

There’s no way he turns down PSV and Fiorentina to go to Millwall or Coventry.

Fair point. Although I find it tough to believe he was walking in to their first teams.

Does this rule out Jack Clarke? Because a loan to Sunderland would be a very decent move.

NewClaret

Andy Jones confirming we are close to signing Koleosho for €3m. I’m intrigued with this one, sounds like he’s turned down PSV and Fiorentina for us too - 18 years old though so is he in and around the first team? Loaned out for a season? Under 21s? Could be a great makeweight in a loan deal to Mill...

NewClaret

If Maatsen only wants to come here on loan, I’d be going elsewhere. Only loans I’d agree to are ones with options to buy. Just don’t see the point developing other teams players as a Prem team - you’re just kicking the can down the road. Would honestly rather go with Charlie.

NewClaret

He scored two for Chelsea last night and an Insta post with blue hearts on it (I know, I know)… but possibly does look like he’s happy and has maybe been reassured of game time by Poch. So we need to move on I think. A real shame but if he is out of contract next summer maybe it’s something we can r...

Only one left for Everton and Forest now from what I can tell.

Tried to fill in for IanMcL while he’s on sabbatical with the rest but it’s a bit hard to count on mobile.

Athletic update just now re. Maatsen - we are still front runners, though it’s suggested any deal will likely be a season long loan with the £20m ask price deemed too high.

I assume he’s signing a new contract then?

IanMcL - when are you doing the count of all the remaining games?

They played Brentford B this afternoon. Flemming scored twice.

Always rated him. Sign him up

Hamer offer seems about right to me. Maybe a bit of cash on top but not a lot more. Move on otherwise.

Chelsea signed a 17 year old left back from Everton for £4 million. Can't harm our prospects of bringing Maatsen in if Vinny wants him. https://www.goodisonnews.com/2023/07/17/sean-dyche-forced-to-sell-everton-lifeblood-due-to-problems-amid-ishe-samuels-smith-to-chelsea-sky-sports-pundit/ He needs ...

But that’s probably why he didn’t want to sign - he’ll start every week at Southampton and they’ve a very decent chance of promotion Possibly but I think he’d have had a decent chance of starting every week here.

NewClaret

Yeah I’m convinced, based on nothing, that Maatsen comes back late in the window. He won’t get a game there and he’s on a free in a year. We’d be best placed getting one (Manning would’ve been perfect) just so Chelsea can’t bend us over. Manning would’ve been very decent to start the season and the...

Just wondering about all this. I haven’t had a season ticket for years for reasons I won’t bore anyone with so I’m an ’occasional attendee’ and I would imagine there are many like me.

I would hope we’re valuing McNally in the £5m range in any prospective deal. Thomas has done very well in multiple loans now and is still very young. When you consider we got about a million for Josh Benson from Barnsley, I think we’d rightly value Thomas at about £1.5m too. Hypothetically £5m plus...

Not particularly excited by the Redmond link but this is a very good point. I’d take him over Wood and he’s been sold twice recently for very substantial 8 figure sums. In that context it’s a good deal.

I guess a factor is how much game time does Pep want him to have. Brighton signed Pedro recently and have Welbeck,Undov and Ferguson too all jockeying for starts

And if he wants to play with his mates Trafford and Harwood Bellis at Burnley

I do find it difficult to believe as credible when it’s reported that any club is about to make a bid or another bid.
