Maybe PSV should have sorted things out quicker? We evidently had a lot going on deadline day, not least the Maatsen deal and sorting the Tresor final details out, never mind the numerous other situations that may have been going on. Strikes me as PSV trying to pass the buck for their own tardiness.

Just an example of one of the problems SD has on his plate - https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/169 ... FkUQjfRnLA

It’s that old cliche - it’s not the defeats, it’s the manner of them.

Swizzlestick

Radio Lancashire played an interview with Matt Williams before kick off who said Chelsea only came back on deadline day to make a deal for Maatsen. So my question is, if Maatsen wasn’t available in the lead up to the deadline, why hadn’t we identified another LB who we could move on when Maatsen di...

So I was correct about Ben Mee, glad we've cleared that up.

Swizzlestick

Similar to your nonsense that mee was resigned to us going down despite dyches mindset that enough points were available, I can quite clearly remember in mission to Burnley mee was up for the challenge, so we can both be wrong but I'm man enough to admit when I am unlike you. You're not man enough ...

I can remember all the arguments & debates that existed with certain posters maintaining the championship was a good standard last season & anybody that insisted otherwise give rise to derision. I was wrong myself with the predictions that it'd be struggle to get out of mistakenly thinking the stan...

Careful you might get called out for ‘bullying’ for arguing against this drivel.

Swizzlestick

What a talent Koleosho is. If he stays injury free and continues to have the right guidance he could be a superstar.

Foster looks like a Premier League striker.

Despite being overpowered in these games, we are creating chances.

Swizzlestick

First time trying today and it will probably be the last. Only wanted a bottle of water but the service is so slow. Part of the problem, weirdly, is them insisting on taking the bottle tops off. Then for one order in front of me, the girl serving just walked off somewhere and didn’t return for the b...

I think he’s got enough of his own problems to deal with. And they’ve had a significantly kinder start than us.

Some seem to have the attitude that we weren't going to get anything today so it doesn't matter.

Forest didn't seem to have the same mindset. A team we are supposed to be competing with.

Who had that attitude?

Swizzlestick

Trafford 4 - he isn’t as good as Muric, looks overawed Al Dakhil 3 - felt for the lad. Not a RB Beyer 4 - didn’t look fit O'Shea 4 - all over the gaff Roberts 4 - not a LB Gudmundsson 5 - tried to be industrious Cullen 4 - desperately needs help, not provided by… Berge 4 - nope, not in this system. ...

Swizzlestick

He’s just not as good as Muric. Looks nervy. Think we need to bite the bullet on this one.

I’m not going to mark but have to say it was telling once the old guard came in that we were more in control

And the fact Spurs weren’t even in first gear.

Swizzlestick

Not sure where this Phillips link has come from other than wishful thinking - he’ll be on a fortune at City, I doubt he was even considered. I think Massengo is the Lokonga alternative. Full backs needed strengthening but maybe Vinny needs to adapt somewhat now.

Origi for €4.5m after loan seems a bargain: https://twitter.com/sachatavolieri/stat ... 11851?s=20

They’re covering his £85k a week wages in full

Swizzlestick

Shame about Maatsen - my guess is he gave us the green light early doors, and whether though a change of heart or the deal changed, he didn’t want the move - but a really good window. Be intriguing to see what VK does now - it’s clear that Chaz can still ‘do a job’ but is that enough for VK? Maybe i...

Can some of you lot go and have a lie down now, good lord

BobSykes! There’s a blast from the past. The original and best - he walked so LaLigaClaret could run.

Swizzlestick

So at the moment in this window we have recruited an overload of widemen of whom only so many can play at any one time, but still struggling to bring in a LB. We recruited a GK for £19m which wasn't a priority, still light on the CM that we needed and missed out on a number of players who it was cl...

I'll give Dyche some credit here, because for his faults he had the right idea about keeping players away from posting tripe all over social media like Tresor seems to like doing. How is it tripe? He's just posted a picture, and is evidently a Drake fan - it's not his fault saddos like us want to o...

Andy Jones pretty much confirming Tresor https://twitter.com/adjones_journo/stat ... 05621?s=20

Got to wonder who some of you lot think we can bring in - expecting to see Alphonso Davies at Barnfield or something?

Swizzlestick

PNE fans I work with were highly impressed with him the last time he played for Bristol City at Deepdale - 'never stopped running, a real terrier type, pressed quickly, was everywhere'.

What happened to the final bid for Clarke at Sunderland yesterday? I haven't read that it was turned down anywhere.

We didn’t make one yesterday, fake news.

Very speculative. If he was always happy to sign then why hasn’t he?

Dunno.

Swizzlestick

The bottleneck coming off the Turf just before walking under the culvert back to town was actually quite dangerous.

Swizzlestick

Agent’s realised we’re the only game in town. I reckon MT has always been happy to sign.

Swizzlestick

I’m not saying VK or anybody else can’t be wrong. Obviously they can and are. I’m just struggling to work out why people are calling for Muric after a couple of games when Trafford seems to have done little wrong. Muric was far shakier in the first 7 or 8 games of last season than Trafford has been...

I can assure you that there are more idiotic posts that that on here,some people are either on drugs or should be on them.

There's been one since from 'BigChaCha'

Swizzlestick

This has agent rather than player written all of it. Wanting one of the big boys to come in. Dangerous game to play. If it IS the player and he’d rather play in the Jupiler, then I’d rather we didn’t sign him.

In which case it’s even stranger unless there’s a bigger club/offer on the table. Genk aren’t even in Europe now.

Genk knocked out of Europa but still in Conference League, 2nd leg playoff tonight.

Swizzlestick

Agent’s put a stop to it in hope of a better offer I reckon.

Watched Monday night football, Palace V Arsenal and Selhurst was rocking.

It was probably rocking because they were well in the game for 50-odd minutes. Turf atmos was good for that 20 minute or so spell after Lyle's goal because we were in the game.

Swizzlestick

It's been fine - it got going when the team got going, and was in a lull after conceding. Like every other ground in the country. Early goals against never help either.

Swizzlestick

Complains of 'revisionist crap' then posts a whole load of revisionist crap.

Swizzlestick

Two posts on this page where somebody is suggesting swapping Jay Rod for Evan Ferguson and somebody else is writing off a player who hasn't kicked a ball for us, and two players who've made only sub appearances, as a waste of money. Absolutely mental some of you lot.

Swizzlestick

Georges Mikautadze, who we were previously heavily linked with, has signed for Ajax.

Swizzlestick

Leverkusen is hardly Monte Carlo. I’m all for a Leeds kicking, but it’s a decent city and this just smacks of Twitter accounts not having the full story and implying he hated the place for ‘engagement’.

Swizzlestick

Impressed. Considering the outfits he's been up against too. Not everything came off, but his speed and dynamism really stood out. He does brilliantly in the lead up to our goal. I'm sure he manages to get away from three Villa players.

Swizzlestick

Given the choice would you have signed Trafford and Berge or Vykores and Archer who both went to Sheffield Utd If you mean Gyokeres, he went to Sporting Lisbon for something like £20m despite only having a year left. Archer had two good Championship loan spells but again was about £18m and is fairl...

Swizzlestick

Very likely, yes. But I draw the line at some of the criticism I've read on here. BTW, I'm a massive Muric fan, but totally support young Trafford. We all support him, I’m sure - I think he has the potential to be top class. I’m just hoping we haven’t thrown in him too quickly but I trust VK to ass...

Swizzlestick

I'm going to cut him a fair bit of slack. A young goalkeeper making what is basically a 2 division jump in standard may very well take a while to adjust. Add to that a defence with virtually no PL experience. Isn’t the entire point that starting a young keeper with only League One experience ahead ...

Swizzlestick

I have to be honest. I’d swap any of our signings for … Sousa … Hamer …and Archer You wouldn't think Blades had lost their opening three matches including two games where they would've been looking to get something. Think some of our fanbase need to get their big boy pants on and start backing this...

Swizzlestick

He's looking really good, a real cause for optimism. Leaner but also stronger and faster, and took his goal really well. Best player on the pitch again (for us).

Swizzlestick

We’ve had our pants pulled down on this one. I’m a big and biased mucic fan but he earned the starting keepers place on the premier league. Not sure how we back track on this one. I'm not sure we've 'had our pants pulled' down - Trafford is a young keeper who clearly has potential, Under 21's first...

It won't have recognised the 'j10', it's just showing you an arbitrary point on the M65 (junction 6 in this case).
