When was the last time we signed a free agent after the transfer window closed out of interest? Doesn’t seem like an option we’ve utilised very often in the past. Good question - can't have been many. When did Joey Barton sign? (the first time) He was definitely a free agent but can't remember if i...

I doubt it - he's got enough to worry about with his own team

Not what I think but what I'd go with:

Amdouni

Everton must be up there

matttheclaret

I've read some stuff on this thread and indeed forum but that for me is a belter of a post. :lol: :D They've both played the majority of their careers at the top level and have played 57 and 49 games respectively for England. I'd say the suggestion that both are good players is very fair. Maybe the...

I didn't think Blatherwick was that bad, certainly in comparison to the other three that Stan targeted.....

I think that's fair. Blatherwick went on to play for Chesterfield at a decent level (League 1?) for about another 10 years I think

Bakayoko isn't that young. Just checked. He's 28, so some of the thinking above is misplaced.

Only 20

Your right. Tella is such a good player that his own club didn’t even want him for there relegation battle.

And how did that work out for them?

matttheclaret

A midfield three of Cullen, Lokonga and Berge guarantees consolidation for me - there, I said that. That is ridiculously strong for the bottom half of this league. It would be strong. Don't think it "guarantees" anything though. Leicester had Tielemans, Ndidi and Maddison in their midfield last sea...

That miss at Millwall...

matttheclaret

Scored a last minute equaliser against Notts County. Decent goal too from memory. Another plus point - he wasn't the worst Norwegian to play for us that season

No Townsend. Also Benson and Cullen still out

Just heard R4 say Jimmy Anderson wants to get to 700 test wickets. Only 13 more, I think was said.

690 he's on so 10 to go

Is tella still done?

Doubt it. Starts for Southampton today

matttheclaret

Hudson Odoi is on crazy wages at Chelsea though isn't he? £8 million may seem relatively cheap (although he has lost his way a bit in last couple of years) but I'm sure Chelsea gave him a massive contract when Bayern were trying to sign him 3/4 seasons ago. So I think they're accepting slightly belo...

Not sure about that 😕 https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw25grrk#?date=2023-07-23 Not great. Although this time yesterday, according to the forecast, there was no chance of any play today and yet they got 30 overs in. Fingers crossed we get enough time tomorrow, couple of hours could b...

Talk of 3 signings today, Amdouni and Trafford presumably two of them, who is the third?

Redmond. Had his medical yesterday apparently

matttheclaret

We're playing Sitay in our opening game, do you really think that our having Maatsen as opposed to Taylor will significantly that result? ... And I thought I was a bloody optimist. Nope, don't think it'll impact the result against City at all. My point was more what happens if we put all our eggs i...

matttheclaret

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. It's possible. Only problem is if it's really late in the window, what do we do with the left back position in the meantime? Taylor and Vitinho options as it sta...

Whereas we’ve lost Tella and Maatsen and the only player we’ve signed that want with us last season is our new 3rd choice goalkeeper.

Dara O'Shea too. But your point still stands

matttheclaret

Apparently he hasn't played a single game for two seasons I know he's been injured but that sounds pretty bad for a player towards the end of his career Played 21 PL games in 21/22. But yeah, nothing last season. You'd have to have a serious think about his fitness I'd say before considering offeri...

He’s got a great average. Never pulls through in the big games when we need him to. Look at stokes he averages 35-36 but at least when we need him to put in a big innings he does it consistently Joe Root must have terrible timing if he's made thirty 100s in Test cricket but none when we needed them...

Unfortunately he’s a bit of a bottler. He just never gets runs when we need him to

No definitely not only glue-and you know what Socrates there will be a fair number of clarets thinking the same as me. Everyone to their opinions.

14 wickets in the series for Broad so far isn't it? Joint most with Cummins.

If we get the runs today and the series is still alive, no way Broad is rested for Old Trafford

matttheclaret

What was it that Ben Stokes said? Something about we might not be the best team in the world, but we'll certainly be the bravest.

Not sure about the brave part, but they're certainly the dumbest

matttheclaret

Count me in, Steve

matttheclaret

Do Australia keep going for the runs or try and defend out a draw now?

matttheclaret

Heaton was sold to Villa for about £8million wasn't he? Jones went to Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee

matttheclaret

To be fair, favourite or best, you could make a case for the home game being against Rovers. For what it's worth, I voted for the Preston game. Be interesting to see the voting for the best away performance though when we have that. There's no way the game at Ewood should be anywhere near winning that

matttheclaret

In fact I hadn’t realised, should this stay the same then Everton can stay up with a draw against Bournemouth on Saturday due to their better GD. Essentially, pending a shocking result for Everton, Leeds are down with this result unless they smash Spurs to bits. Leicester still have it in their han...

matttheclaret

Absolutely. Very good player. Jones and Marney were immense in that 13/14 promotion

That’s not even Benson’s goal of the season.

I was looking for that one too, incredible team goal.

Went for Zaroury at Sunderland but I'd be shocked if Benson's title winner at Ewood doesn't win this

Very tough. Voted for Cullen in the end but was very close between him and Beyer. Honourable mentions too for Tella and Benson who were the others I considered
