Todibo needs adding to the ins please

[Side of Ham]

"Come On The Swiss, can you take your self loathing somewhere else?….it’s obvious you want some sort of beating….but I don’t think it’s the sort you get on this site daily that is going to cut it, you are everywhere just being seen as a dick….you obviously want more that this site can’t provide. Go hire a BDSM brass this time…."

[Come On You Irons]

"Calm down, you muppets. I only mentioned Tammy Abraham as he is the striker we are currently most linked with as the Duran rumours seem to have called. I didn't say I particularly wanted the Chelsea reject, but he's better in as an option than only having 34 year old Antonio and 31 Fulkrug lumbering away as our options up front."

[Jasnik]

Earthy on loan to Bristol and their next game is against Milwall!

[RBshorty]

Can see someone like Fulham coming in for Potato Tommy. They need a solid CM. Could be good business for all parties.?

"El Scorchio 10:04 Wed Aug 14 If there was ever any doubt, which there wasn't, I don't think there's any question now that his opinions count for shit"

[RootsRadical]

"I'd keep Soucek over JWP who was underwhelming last season, Soucek offers more. Given all the signings we must be confident of shifting the deadwood otherwise we'll have a squad of 30 players many of whom will rarely get a kick if at all, on high wages."

[plankton]

"Anyone in the know want to tell us more about Irving? First-hand impressions, for example?"

[El Scorchio]

Fucking hell. The bloke whinging and pissing his knickers at all our signings so far wants Chelsea reject coming off an injury one decent season in his whole career at a top level club and only 12 goals in all comps in the last two seasons Tammy fucking Abraham. You couldn't make it up.

"Stowie - agreed, but that would be at least one CB. Looks like we're going to be stuck with the crocked Zouma. Midfield fascinates me. The three most likely starters would appear to be Paqueta, Alvarez and Rodriguez, depending on the threat of the opposition. This would appear to leave JWP and Soucek, who were mainstays of our midfield last season, as bit-part players. Then there's Irving, who seems to be left out of most discussions on here. Then the two youngsters, Potts and Oxford. Also consider that Kudus could be played in midfield to accommodate a front three of Füllkrug, Bowen and Summerville. Then on top of that we're supposedly interested in either Soler or Roberto (who can play in MF or RB). Something's got to give as we seem to be absurdly overpopulated in this area, but it's a good problem to have."

[Manuel]

I fancy we will try to get Duran on loan.. I think our interest in Soler is real.

[RM10]

Every season we have CB issues so yes

[Stowie.40]

If you get rid of Aguerd & Zouma you need another CB to come in.

[Nagel]

"I don't think it's a good idea to buy any player who's just had a cruciate ligament injury unless they've already proved that they they're back to their best. Tammy Abraham has averaged less than half an hour per match in his 12 games since coming back, so not really had a chance to prove himself one way or the other."

[fraser]

Tammy Abraham was bombed out at Chelsea.. We need Duran

[Come On You Irons]

"I would like one more striker in (preferably a mobile one under the age of 30) and a new central midfielder. I would get rid of Aguerd, Zouma, Ings and one of Soucek or Ward-Prowse. Tammy Abraham and Carlos Soler in and Aguerd, Zouma, Ings and Soucek or Ward-Prowse out would be excellent."

Bristol City manager Liam Manning discussing George Earthy loan last night after their EFL Cup defeat by Coventry Game on Saturday…. Millwall at home

[Westham67]

I am not expecting miracles loads of knicker wetting though. I expect to see some momentum building after a few games

[Fauxstralian]

I think these seasons with the Euros & Copa America mean that most teams are under cooked at the start. Presumably we will want to play AWB Kilman Todibo & Emerson as a back 4 soon but they haven’t played together yet. Plus hopefully we will have a couple more in & some leavers before we settle down

[daveyg]

"Jasnik I too was baffled by the 2nd half As excellent as the goals were and some of the 2nd half.The 2nd half was Moyes allover again. Don't know what we was learnt.as there's no way JWP n Soucek will start Saturday. No Potts and the only youth was one who is now out on loan. Think we are undercooked and not enough friendlies. I hope we play like the 1st half it was a good watch. Antonio,Bowen and Paqueta showed how good they can be together. Kudus and Summerville will run at the defences. Not sure how our defence will gel though"

Aalborg Hammer wrote... Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread I see the squad numbers are out - I'm surprised Cornet didn't get 99 He didn't get it because he is already flakey enough

[Come On You Irons]

Haha. Nice to see Sven mugging himself off again.

[Fauxstralian]

At some point we will see all the latest posts when we log on I suppose if Elon Musk can’t run a livestream then it’s not unusual
