Also Eddie the General: if I have to run with this squad of players come the end of the transfer window, I'll be proud to do so. Look at last season, we signed nobody and what did we do? We won a trophy. Eddie's digging in and building the siege mentality. We're gonna fucking KNACK everybody.

Wykiki's favourites the Geordie Journos with the casting vote: Their interpretation is that the player is refusing to train/play. They also said there was some positive stuff from Howe. He was asked about the ownership and said that there is a lot going on behind the scenes with the training ground and stadium, and that the ownership are as interested and as engaged today as they were when the club was first taken over. Also he was asked whether the club has been dynamic as he had asked them to be in the transfer window, and he gave a very robust yes and defended the transfer team for their efforts in the window. (and yes I think he would have done at least some of this even if he thought they'd fucked it) So it sounds like, at least on the face of it, Howe is still fully on board, and it's largely Isak (and Paul Mitchell/Darren Eales who refused to improve his contract) that have brought about the vast majority of the mess we find ourselves in.

Different interpretations of Howe's quotes on the two videos. Downie thinks the player is the one saying he won't train with his teammates, Hope thinks Howe is saying that the player's outlook/attitude is such that he can't have him training with the rest of the squad. Who knows, but it looks like a very long road back, if that's even possible, so we're gonna be doing our absolute best to sign two strikers and move him on.

The belief that PIF won't sign off on Watkins and Wissa btw. After the complete fuck up their terrible decision making has made of the transfer window.

Absolute nonsense from Lawson. That's not a shot Ramsdale should be criticised for not saving.

Howe's post match quotes might explain why we continue to plumb the depths of our striker targets. Sounds like Isak continues to be a little cunt.

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but no Wissa in the squad for Brentford tonight.

0-1.

Ramsdale and Koreardsley both get a start.

I was reading about her the other day. A proper slag, as Souness would say.

Or it's just all made up and none of it is actually happening.

Agreed!

Are you a penis or a cunt?

Cold water poured on a lot of these links by Hope.

"a Greek player" Nice and specific. Even this click farm idiot can't be arsed to look up where he plays.

Vlahovic is on ChezGiven money. Also they can fuck off about Tonali.

Two days you silly bitch. The second half of the interview with the lawyer was quite interesting. Not that I think anything is going to change.

I think Chelsea's game is gonna become more apparent over the next few seasons, and it's mainly gonna be to hoover up all the young talent and flog what they can to Saudi for wild prices, once the players have become so disillusioned by lack of game time. Probably banking on some of the players being money obsessed and the Saudi league gradually improving over time. Now they've sold all their hotels and women's team, they need a new scam.

Nobody checks the IMDB of Ice Cube films. They just assume they're getting a masterpiece.

If no one had come in for him, I think he would have. I mean he was at Frankfurt.

Avowed is mint btw. I'm still plugging away at it after god knows how many hours.

He's mad into stroopwafel.

The fact we rolled out the big guns for Sesko, and the big guns was Jamie Reuben, says it all. Said it earlier on in the window, Eales should have appointed someone on a fixed term basis to manage our transfer negotiations. He didn't because he's not very good at his job.
