Murger

We really need to get a move on don't we? If it's true that VK has been coming since May, we should have had a plethora of signings by now.

And yet our record in the Championship under Laws since 2000 is bettered only by Dyche & Coyle in terms of points per game.

We were going nowhere under Laws. An absolute shocking appointment.

He scored on the Turf, as did Modric, in the final day of the 2009/10 season.

The game that prolonged Laws time here. Grrrrrr.

Murger

I can see the benefit of having someone like Cahill in the squad. But deffo not the other 4 of the suggestions.

Murger

Update from Andy Jones this morning: - club do not want or need to sell Collins, it is believed only an astronomical fee will make them budge - two bids rejected for McNally - with the Pope deal being ‘lower’ than their initial valuation, the club were keen to get as much money upfront to help boos...

Murger

Haven't Southampton just signed 2 keepers?

Murger

There isn't a cat in hells chance we get less than double what we paid for Collins.

These are worse than all the ice cream "jokes" last summer.

That's ice cold.

Murger

I haven't seen us being linked with a striker yet. That is another priority position.

Murger

1 of the promoted clubs.

Good news with Jack Cork signing a new deal especially if the rumours are true about us looking to build a relatively young side. Experience like Jack's will be priceless. I'm a little puzzled about Andy Jones being Athletic's dedicated Burnley reporter when a few were saying on another thread that...

And spend on quality replacements instead of servicing a debt .

Or to bulk up Garlicks personal gain in the event of a sale.

Sadly we have to sell these players because of the financial state of the club.

When the numbers are as high as £40m, I think we'd have sold whoever was in charge.

Murger

I think it's safe to say Collins is on his way. Hopefully there isn't a release clause, which will cause a bidding war.

Murger

A joke of a summer break.

Murger

Mo Camara, Lee Roche and wasn't Matt O'Neill classed as pro back then?

Murger

If there was a release clause, it wouldn't say we're looking for a profit.

Murger

I'm sick of hearing it.

Murger

Not a cat in hells chance you'd catch me up there.

He was happy to come in when we had two keepers already

Why would that change now?

Playing 2nd fiddle in the Championship is different than playing it in the Premier League I'd have thought.

Nixon said Kompany is keen on Muric at City if Pope is sold.

I’d imagine he is a ball playing keeper.

Can't see Hennessey wanting to stick around if we bring someone else in.

Murger

I just wish they'd stop using the word "BOSS" this word is taken from the slave trade yet we do all the anti racist stuff (which we should). I truly find it annoying that the club do not seem to understand this word and use it again after I'd pointed it out to them once and they changed the post ac...

Murger

I wonder if Kompany will stick with Hennessey?

Murger

Pace doesn't seem the sort to think short term. He knows Pope staying boosts our chance of promotion, and he also knows promotion boosts his chance of repaying the debt. So the chance of Nick going on the cheap are non existent are far as I'm concerned. It would be a miracle if other clubs weren't ...

Very true.

This lad could turn out to be a world builder. Let’s hope he is.

He's not Charlie Austin you know.

The inside channel between full back and centre half, but just infront of them rather than behind. Think Kevin de Bruyne at City, operates always in the right half space, and killed us at the home game there.

This is gonna take some getting used too.

Murger

My head hurts after reading that. What's a 'left half-space' for example?

Murger

C4s pundits are as uninspiring as the manager.

Murger

Shocking interview from Kane.

Murger

Isn't that over 4.5 hours without a goal now?

Murger

Them boos might make poor Gareth upset.

Murger

Wish I'd have watched it now. Of course I want England to do well, but Southgate is a bellend.

Murger

Maybe if Southgate concentrated on the football instead of lecturing everyone on current affairs, we might be more enjoyable to watch.

Murger

A young team would surely be able to deal with the rigours of a 46 game season. Sprinkled with a couple of experienced pros, I think we'll do well.

Exciting times.

Murger

He must've been promised a fair wedge. No way he comes in if we're only signing loan players.

Murger

Thank god that's sorted.

Murger

I think there has been plenty of publicity over this... but we aren't Man Utd that's for sure. And keeping the fans on board will be important. There is not a lot else that is positive in the media other than Kompany. And all this is in a period where Ben Mee has confirmed he is leaving and Wout We...

Murger

I know it's a bit callous, but this is the perfect opportunity to nab a couple of players (if we wanted too).

Murger

Just had a quick chat with my friend. It was meant to be announced today, but for some reason it has been delayed. It will be announced tomorrow, with CB as assistant. There has been a delay but the official stance is “work permits”. Apparently big meeting on Sunday to discuss future of staff/playe...

Murger

Simon Davies is joining Spurs backroom staff. He was due to come in with VK.

Murger

Thank god it's not about Tim.

Murger

Yeah was just checking their thoughts out too. Sounds very much like Collins really. Very good on the ball, good physical attributes, liable to the odd error due to age/inexperience. It's a real shame we were not able to retain Mee as he would have done wonders for Collins and Harwood-Bellis, shoul...

Murger

He may well be the manager. But it's utterly bizarre how it's taking so long.

Murger

A complete waste of time Pope being there. He should be sunning it somewhere, not playing 3rd fiddle in Southgates snooze fest setup.

Murger

I can't wait to watch us chase the ball for 90 minutes in the Qatari heat.

Murger

The reason he's not featured more for England imo is that he's too slow, if he does attempt to play out from the back as Southgate prefers he too often gets caught, which is why he inevitably always ended up with a hoof when playing out from the back with us, and consequently why it came straight b...

You’ve missed nothing. It’s more of the same.

It's criminal with the attacking talent he has at his disposal.

Murger

I never even bothered putting it on tonight. Watching a Southgate team is as boring as it gets.
