Interesting that it is made clear that there is no option to buy. Looks like we could be bitten by the same issue as Maatsen, Tella, THB...

If he makes the difference who cares. Chelsea can't afford to sell players cheaply as ffp has been pushed to the limit.

Colburn_Claret

Loans are probably our best bet.
We've already spent a load in summer.
It was difficult to attract players when most thought we'd stay up, it has to be even harder now.
We have a short term problem, that requires a short term fix.

THats encouraging from VK. Lets hope we are getting a proper striker as one of these. With the inevitable mistakes in defence and midfield which is leading to goals, a striker who knows where the net is, is going to be critical in gaining points. WE also need an insurance plan should Foster's issue...

Buying a house is easy, it's getting a mortgage that's the problem. It's ironic that people who pay £600 a month rent, and have done so for years, cannot find a lender to pay £500 a month. Considering the equity is in the property, that's a nonsense. How do you resolve that issue is the question we ...

Colburn_Claret

No Michael Mellon, it would be a good game to settle him back at the club.
It could be a sign he will at least make the bench on Friday, especially with Foster looking doubtful.

Colburn_Claret

He's been crap for Leeds, scores 1 worldy, and suddenly people forget the dross.
I'm sure there will be you tube clips of Sunday league players scoring worldies, maybe we should sign them

Colburn_Claret

He's flattered to deceive at times, and definitely requires a Foster type player alongside him, but he's had touches of class that show what he is capable of. We need to cut him some slack, a young player, in a struggling team, in his first season, in the toughest league in the world. We have no one...

Colburn_Claret

Still have it in our own hands, but that Newcastle fixture is massive.

Colburn_Claret

I'm glad it's over for you, whatever it was.

Remaining strong through any ordeal is hard, but real friends are on your side come what may, and who gives a **** what strangers think.

Colburn_Claret

Muric for me.
Trafford has improved a lot lately, and kept us in games, but it's Murics influence in attack that gets him the nod, and his command of the box.

Colburn_Claret

Just watching the replay and Muric did nothing wrong. It was a good throw out that Amdouni made a mess of.

Colburn_Claret

Reasonable scoreline, but nowhere near enough quality. Our lack of physicality, and lack of composure, are beyond repair. I still prefer Muric, despite those ridiculous short passes to marked players, but after 18 months it needs to be recognised that VK must be insisting he plays it. How else can y...

Colburn_Claret

We are so poor, the unforced errors are countless.

Colburn_Claret

Great finish, but why do we have to be so weak at giving the ball away again and again. Talent counts for nothing if you're soft as muck.
You can carry a couple if the rest of the team is strong, but we have Foster.....and that's it.

Colburn_Claret

VK saying calm it down, and the players see it as take your time.
We do need to calm down, but we need to move it a lot faster.

Zeki...........damn

Colburn_Claret

That pass Muric plays to the edge of the box, to a player with a man on his back, looked stupid last season.
It looks even worse now.

Colburn_Claret

They passed it through us far too easy.Too slow to close down, too slow to react to the pass.

Colburn_Claret

Foster looks so much better than his team mates in every aspect strength, composure, pace, awareness.

Colburn_Claret

His teal strength is his strength. We have a lot of fast players who can easily be knocked over with a touch. When Lyle is on the charge he's like a train on rails.

Colburn_Claret

he's got 4 or 5 years left on his deal and you think he might be only worth 5 million when they got 25 for Tella ? Not likely mate I wish that were true, but no one is paying more than 5 mill for someone presumably deemed not good enough for the Prem, by his own club. We know his value, but nobody ...

Colburn_Claret

Loan with an option to buy seems like such a Southampton-friendly arrangement. But if we're not going to put him in the team, we need to be selling him ASAP. That's how it's meant to work. The problem is last season end he was probably worth 10 million, now it will only be half of that, if we are l...

Colburn_Claret

I accepted relegation after the Chelsea game, but it's the hope that kills you.
We bought some great players that still need moulding into a great team, but the signs are there.
Just enjoy the transition and cheer them to the rafters.

Colburn_Claret

CT 2 yds behind the rest of the defence playing them onside.

We don't half like to make life hard for ourselves and easy for the opposition.

Colburn_Claret

No qualms with the result, should be expected, but sick that we didn't lay a glove on them. Confidence is missing , but we are so rigid in our style that even if we had the confidence, I doubt we'd change anything. VK isn't giving this team a chance of staying up. I love what he is aiming for, I jus...

Your usual predictable nonsense, Jakub. So you're saying schools never had scrote kids before hitting them was abolished?

Just turned 19, 4 goals in 6 starts? Yet he was being written off on here as not needed and a waste of money, given absolutely zero time to adapt and develop by people on here who want everything immediately. Give this boy (and many of the others) and he’s gonna be some player. This team is improvi...

But what if the 2nd yellow is correct, and the 1st was wrong. Do you check every yellow? Or just go back to review the first if they also receive a 2nd yellow... And what about the yellows that are an accumulation of things, rather than a single event? Minefield Could just scrap VAR 🤷‍♂️ It would b...

Colburn_Claret

How many games have we scored first this season, 7 or 8.
Most of those dropped points have been down to us trying to sit on it, instead of pushing on.
I'm more nervous 1-0 up than I was at 0-0. Sad aren't I.

Brilliant from Dyche. Swamp us in midfield because we only have Berge comfortable receiving it in there, which forces us to try and go long. Then put an extra centre half in there so when we go long it will just be gobbled up easily by them, Also giving them extra height to dominate us on set piece...

Colburn_Claret

That was about the most predictable half of football ever. The same problems, in the same areas, equals the same results. We need VK a lot more than he needs us, but this season has been a write off since the Chelsea game. I hope the fans stick with it, and continue to back the lads. Accept our fate...

The Swedish comparison is hugely relevant. When you're trying to work out whether what we did was right or wrong, looking at the results of people who did it differently is vital - more vital than looking at those who did basically the same as us, IMO. Sweden is twice as big as the UK. UK populatio...

Surely you need to look at what we did wrong before you can consider how to put it right next time. I'm sorry it's not good enough for you and other government supporters to repeat the let's not apportion blame, let's move on agenda. Sure it's uncomfortable for those shown to be incompetent, self s...

I really do not get this facination with Sweden. Why not compare with other Scandinavian countries - all of which did lock down and all of which had far lower per capita rates of COVID mortality than Sweden - e.g Norway = 242 deaths per million population, Denmark = 558 deaths per million, Finland ...

Birmingham 4th in the league above us, so will be a good test for the ladies.
The league looks like a 2 horse race between us and Newcastle. Could all come down to our home match with them.

The way City have ****** about you could see that coming a mile off. They deserve it as well.

City have regressed 2 years. They are back to trying to walk the ball into the net. It's ****, just as when Arsenal used to do it.

Not a new player for January, but just signed baseballs record breaking contract. £557 million for a 10 year contract. He's 29 so I presume Baseball players have a longer shelf life.
The other strange fact, as a British fan, is he's moved across LA, from the Angels to the Dodgers.

While I get there’s some bad apples in there, Ten Hag has spent c. £250m on Antony, Onana, Mount and Hojlund and none of them look anywhere near. No one will look good until they start playing for each other and the team. It's why they were a better team last season with Weghorst, because Wout put ...

I didn't say he was the problem, only that I hope he wastes as much money as possible before he gets the bullet. God, I hate United.
