No idea what you are going on about there's only 1 person on this fictitious roundabout & it ain't me.

Whoosh!

How pleasing to see Germany continuing their rich vein of form.

I think, however, that Wirtz is a good player and will come good at Liverpool (but not before next week).

Seems pretty joyless supporting West Ham (Conference League aside, that looked fun regardless of the standard). Honestly, I’d call it a day if I had to trek to an athletics bowl on some retail / industrial park. Was everything they’ve lost worth it, to be where they are now? They lost their soul wh...

Was it 18 million West Ham paid for Cornet? Not their best bit of business.

And they do specialise in doing crap business.

Saudi is much more liberal than it was. We have arrived at where we are today over centuries. Saudi is a very very young country. Some would say our evolution is now at a stage which will lead to our extinction. Moses said “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to t...

I'm not sure many Spurs players live in Tottenham (all due respect to the good folk who do).

The Turkish transfer window doesn't close for a couple of weeks does it, so there could still be the odd outgoing..........

There are quite a few. The Netherlands is 5 Sep I think.

It's difficult finding clubs for our lads and I think the most difficult position is that of a keeper because you either play or don't play (yes, keepers can be sent off or injured but neither happens often). At least he's with a L2 club. We'll see how it works out but I think a move was necessary. ...

ecc

Not easy to say but I'd be looking at 7.5/8. Far more organised than last summer (thank God). Of course, we would have liked one or two other players in but you do get the feeling the manager will be fairly happy with the squad he's got.

Like this.

That gives us another tall DM. Not quite a Big Les Unit but has a certain physical stature.

Very considerable experience including CL.

I’ve commented before that every deal between BHA & Chelsea looks strange. I’ve even mentioned money laundering with some of the excessive fees that Chelsea have paid. Hi Tricky Trevor, I remembered a fellow Claret mentioning possible money laundering but couldn't recall who. There does seem to be ...

"Brighton attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte has joined Chelsea on a season-long loan.

There is no option or obligation to buy."

Is it just me or does this seem a bit "strange"?

I find it difficult to choose between Isak and Wissa.

True. It's a toughie, isn't it?

Glad for the lad. I've really grown to like him in recent weeks.

The club have done well to shift him.

Most definitely one of the oddest BFC signings.

József Bugner. Family fled Hungary after the Soviets invaded in 1956.

I never really liked the sport and don't really agree ...

Exactly. It’s the same as if a fan of another club asked us about one of our players who was almost definitely leaving. We would hardly give glowing references unless it was one of our best players. Just look at the reviews in here after we found out Egan-Riley wasn’t going to be staying Ekdal and ...

See the young Spurs centre back, Luka Vuskovic, has gone to Hamburg on loan. Seen him mentioned on here as a loan option for us but not sure if there was any links Hi CaptainClaret, No, I don't think there were any links. I posted that he might have been a good loan despite only being 18. However, ...

So, so important for Lyle to start scoring after beginning the season well.

We can prevail.

Up The Clarets.

Nine additional minutes? Floodlight failure?

Was thinking about him only yesterday. Not going to be easy for him getting a pro deal.

Fair play to the lad because he got some shocking stick on here.

Given Archie is also Andy's son, of course they are brothers, but I saw no relevance to that, just to the fact that his dad had played for us. I was merely stating that to have two players in a team who both have brothers playing professional football must be relatively rare. Nothing more, nothing ...

"They won 3-0 at Aston Villa two weeks ago today. Alfie Cresswell gave them a first half lead before Harry Gray, whose dad Andy was our leading goalscorer in both the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons, added two more in the second half." Harry Gray will be the brother of Archie at Spurs and I presume Alfi...

I thought that happened with Rooney when he returned to Everton. He was widely reported to be on £15m p.a. and no way were Everton able to match that.

I know there has been plenty of debate on various threads about how we lined up against both Spurs and Sunderland - how we lined up tactically and if we used different formations etc. I've found the average position maps for both matches and put them side-by-side for comparison (I've had to flip on...

Sky news saying this morning that Ipswich are buying a Brazillian off Norwich, the first direct transfer between the clubs for 24 years. It got me thinking of our dealings with Bastards.

Ruben Amorin hasn't become a bad manager over night, the players he has should be able to produce much more. I would say that the chance of them being relegated is close to zero because either they resolve the issue or Amorin leaves and someone else will get them playing. He kept saying "the player...

Apologies, I can’t tell if you’re being serious or sarcastic….

Šeško is a player with great potential. He's tall, strong, fast and technical.

However, he's gone to the wrong club.

mel - part of the draw is before the game and part afterwards. You need a science degree to understand how it works but they draw the teams in Europe out before the game and also whether they will play home or away. Then after the game the rest of us are drawn to join the nine teams in Europe. Once...

I doubt whether Dwight would return but I'd be delighted to have him back.

There's no way he'll last if they lose this weekend. For my sins, one of my best friends supports them and he wants him gone. He also says they only have five decent players: Paqueta (on his day), Bowen, Wan-Bissaka, Diouf and, potentially, Potts. "We've got four CBs who can't defend and three below...

I think you're right. MM has to go out on loan and I think Tweedy does as well. The problem is finding clubs. I would expect Mellon will get a club in the next few days.

The difference being they wasn’t built for West Ham, it was built for a completely different purpose (nothing to do with football) and they just moved into it instead of it becoming a white elephant.

And pay top dollar for it as well.

Top video, thanks Leisure (your versatility knows no bounds).

Looks very much like their first choice team. Had Jayden Danns upfront who has played for them in the Prem, Trey Nyoni who has played for the first team in the Champions League. We also had Fabio So and Albert Blackie start the game who are both 17 too. Pouani came off the bench, also 17. Thanks, M...

ecc

I've no idea whether or not this was Liverpool's first-choice team but any victory against one of their academy teams is a huge achievement.

And one of our goalscorers, Kian McMahon-Brown, has only just turned 17 (three weeks ago).

Just seen George Brierley was playing, only 17 too.

Massive result for our lads!
