Need to get Haffner's on the case at Turf. So many good bakeries around this part of the world, Hollands being somewhere mid-table imo! The whole food & drink offering needs an overhaul. Like you say, there’s plenty of good local food companies/breweries etc that could improve things beyond the rol...

The lad at swansea which suits our style / way Jay plays is the lad Piroe but I’m not sure we have the money to prize him away. I’d take Martins though not sure he’d be good enough if we get promoted. If we just want a striker (different to Jay) I’d take a gamble on Stewart at Sunderland who’s stal...

NewClaret

It was awful to watch. My least favourite game in many a year, probably not helped by my rubbish seat low & in the corner meaning I could barely see what was going on and I seemed to have cold wind blowing at me from in front and behind!!! I’m not sure we did all we could to see the game out and the...

Yeah I liked the look of Dervisoglu for the reasons you say. Not sure he’s got the work rate VK desires though. Obafemi would a different type so I’d welcome that, doesn’t necessarily have to be the same as Jay. Only 22 as well, so he’s someone at an age VK can improve and potentially be a useful o...

According to our Ticket Office the tickets are no longer on sale (not sure why, seeing as they are open!). Trying to find out from Swansea if our fans can purchase tickets on the day.

Assume we got 3, 4 and 5 of the upper tier originally?

NewClaret

Agree, but also could be a younger type who’s good enough now and can develop further into a PL player, if that makes sense. JRod completely changed the game (much more so than Zaroury given how Stoke were sticking tight and blocking balls to the wide men). The slightly frustrating thing here is th...

I can only imagine how many Stag Dos Leisure gets invited on every year!

As best man…

NewClaret

Don't think it is. We sold out the original top tier allocation but we were then selling the lower tier. They've been taken off sale online as there's no time to post them out. Fairly certain they're still available in person from the Ticket Office. Do you know if the top tier is the 998 original a...

NewClaret

The lad has conceded 1 goal in 5 league games and 4/5 clean sheets. Prior to that he’d conceded 10 in 5 (skewed by Sheff U).

He is improving, as the defence are, which is great to see. He’ll continue to get better and better too.

I couldn't work out whether their disallowed goal was offside for the bloke who scored (so hugely important save) or some earlier offence (so irrelevant save).

It was an earlier offence, whistle went straight away.

NewClaret

Its obviously looking good at this point. But with so many games yet to play if we have injuries to key players or suspensions our lead could be eroded and become vulnerable to a team having a decent run in. Agree with this. We saw tonight what difference two changes can make. Do feel the next two ...

NewClaret

Bit harsh. You’ve got to get match fitness somehow. I thought he showed a few flashes of promise but ultimately his touch deserted him. He was much better at West Brom and Wigan earlier in the season. Didn’t help that Stoke were tight and basically man marking the wide men. Basically meant there wa...

I rest Cork today. Bring him back in at Swansea snd encourage him to get a card

Do not fancy resting Cork on away matches.

He’d start for me, take off if we can. Tell him to be careful and then take one at Swansea before two home games!

Mass missile and drone strikes on civilian infrastructure today. Possibly the largest ever. My bet is this is retaliation because Ukraine seem to be doing very well from recent numbers released.

Keep an eye on Kreminna

Read Kreminna had been liberated 4 or 5 days ago. Seems that was a bit premature but looks like they’re doing okay there.

Links like this under dyche you could pretty much squash straight away but since kompany has arrived, any link or rumour seems possible Most significant thing Kompany has achieved in 6 months is making us attractive to exciting young European talent like the chap that posted on Zaroury’s instagram....

If I were Lowton I'd rather sit tight till summer. Think he can do better than a team that's heading towards League 1.

It’ll be a loan, keep fit & put himself in the shop window, then free agent in summer.

Sat next to his mother. There’s more chance of signing her and putting her out to stud. She can certainly produce ‘ballers.

Ideally with Mr Haaland.

Looks like he can play all across the front and if we lose Tella then we need another in.

Isn’t that also Churlinov’s favoured position though?

As exciting as it is to be linked to all these attacking players, can’t help but feel it’s not a priority.

our new signing. Looks decent.

Not sure we need another LW though?!

NewClaret

Need a better one for Benson or to actually sing the (poor imo) one we have for him. Embarrassing we’re singing about Anass when he’s not even on the pitch & Benny is tearing it up.

NewClaret

Just to add, our January / Feb offers a tricky run of fixtures. Away trips to Millwall (3rd best home record in the league behind us and Sheffield), Luton and Norwich (new manager). Home games against a rejuvenated West Brom, Watford and local derby with PNE. Not expecting that run to be easy at al...

NewClaret

The comments are horrendous, but to be honest he was starting to stall here when running around in circles and cutting inside & running in to trouble. His main attribute was his wicked crosses. Had he stayed out wide and focussed on that he’d have done much better for us & would be delivering at Eve...

NewClaret

That’s the one at the back of anyone’s mind who followed us that season. Although we’ve already had our potential ‘wheels come off’ moment at Bramhall Lane and we’ve been better than ever since that. My OP was more around how big it is for the Jan window, but certainly a long way off being secured....

NewClaret

I think 90 points is generally the target for automatic promotion. Therefore 13 more wins from 22 games should do it! UTC!!! Last 3 years it’s been 83, 88 and 82 would’ve done it. Hoping the “mid table” (that being 3rd to about 17th!!) being so tight will see a lot of teams taking points off each o...

I think you underestimate the clever and hard work he does, which enables the others to breeze through.

Absolutely this. His run taking away 3 defenders created the space for Zaroury’s opener last night.

My two would be Beyer & Tella, only because I don't think THB & Maatsen would not be available for permanent transfer. With Chilwell and Cucurella ahead of him at Chelsea, and a year left on his contract, I’d be surprised if there weren’t a deal to be done if the player wanted to join. Think I’m th...

But there is also the ability to attract better quality players when you are in the PL (and pay their wages!). Depending on who we’re looking at of course (i.e. this excludes established Prem players already on Prem wages), our current league position should be tempting for players if there’s a big...

Been told by a club employee tonight that we currently have 6 transfer targets for Jan.
No names or clues given but the club are actively working on those 6 targets.

Got to assume Jude Bellingham is one of those given he was spotted at the ground tonight

If Dervisoglu was to leave and return to Brentford this January he could only play for Brentford for the remainder of the season.

I think we are probably working on a Tella replacement. You’d have to assume Saints will take him back. As I said on another thread though, I bet the lad is gutted at the prospect of that. He probably won’t start, and if he does it will be in a **** team that is getting relegated under an out of hi...

Personally feel that’s massive. Think 83 gained promotion last year and it’s hard to see us not picking up another 30-odd points now. If we beat Stoke we go in to the January window on 53 points. Any agents or Chairmen of selling clubs (given all deals will have promotion clauses) will look at that ...

NewClaret

Problem is here, that there’s no recall clause (or we don’t want to recall him because his wages are too much) and Besiktas can’t afford the fee they agreed. So he’ll be coming back but in summer.
