COYB!

Statement signing that... Big job for Eustace to take on and get him to deliver. Fair play to him as he obviously backs himself to do so.

Remember when Eustace said the squad isn't in need of major surgery?? All full team of signings later... 😂

A Germain and Hill away from a 9/10 window. 10/10 would have been Poku.

This is a fair point being overlooked by the fact that we sold Sam Gallagher, Szmodics and have loaned out quite a few... Only about 1.5 million spent and we were told there was a budget before any sales of those 2. The likes of Poku should have been signed given our sales.

What is Baker? CM? Can't say I'd ever even heard about him until we first got linked. Surely if Stoke are getting rid he must be shite? Looking at his career just seems like a journeyman.

Fixed it for you.

I'm not sure who he is and if he's any good but... Yeah, probably. My main concern is that we haven't sorted out the defence and focused way too much on the offensive side. Don't understand why you sign both Fadz and Batth when it would have been better to sign just 1 better CB.

Strikes me of a classic car type situation. Was once worth a fair whack, got knocked about a bit but has potential value if given a bit of TLC. Had a few different owners but they all gave up. What's Saido Berahino up to these days?

So many variables that will stop Cantwell from coming, take your pick and feel free to add more... Offers from other clubs, Swag changing his mind, the owners not answering the phone, us fucking up the application... Strangely, I'm not even that desperate for it to happen, it seems like a weird signing, a forced signing that's doomed to fail but I admire the ambition and determination behind the manager to take it on and make a player out of him again. If anything it's just a welcome distraction so I don't have to obsess over playing those creatures on Saturday.

Burnley in for Morgan Whittaker... Jesus

Who else doesn't believe Cantwell will get done? Once the realisation of how much it will cost in wages, Waggot will piss his pants.

Please don't

Owner who gives a shit.

No disrespect but I think most of us know that. There are probably a few that don't of course but at the end of the day it comes down to how much club A want the player from club B. Many over pay for what they're getting. I don't wish to turn this thread into another discussion but Liverpool are getting a potentially world class player for 11 million and it just highlights how much other clubs are paying for dross footballers.

11 million for Federico Chiesa whilst Tyler Morton has been linked to Leverkusen for 20 million... Twenty million pounds for Tyler feckin sideways and backwards Morton. Have I woken up in an alternative reality? Perhaps we did get a fair price for Szmods? I have no idea what are players worth anymore. Bonkers.

Oh surely but after Elliot, we have to throw our hat in the ring. They may just want to get him some minutes & keep him close to home till January.

On their end... I'm not one to be interested in loans but this one would be unreal. Would certainly sort out our pace issues. HIGHLY UNLIKELY but...

The pace & GK issues being sorted is the difference between this being considered a good, average or a bad window imo. Having a quick outlet could be really transformative and much needed legs for the likes of Gueye to find from long balls. I've said this many many times now but last night underlined it again... Our defence is shite. It mainly stems from Pears and Hyam. I'm desperate for someone to come in for that carthorse so we can get Hill. They're a decent GK & winger away from making this a good window but 0 faith they will get it done.

I don't see Cantwell as the sort of signing we need at all, what does he offer that we don't already have? Another number 10 that I feel won't turn out to be any more effective than Dolan or Sigurdson in that role. I don't understand the transfer strategy and it comes across as "we've tried for all these quick lads and all the goalkeepers on the list but they're all too expensive... Todd Cantwell is available though"... Wtf is going on? What we actually desperately need is a GK & pace in the press and on the counter... Not another ponce with long hair who's got a face like he should be playing at a higher level and turns up 1 in 5 games. JRC moves like he's running through the swimming pool, Hedges hamstrings are made out of toilet paper, Dolan looks quick but isn't, neither is he a winger and can say the same for Siggy. How is it this hard to understand? Why has it taken years to never address this issue? Do they not see how slow they are? PACE FFS, speed, someone who is fast, a player who can run faster than other players. SORT IT OUT you shitheads.

JRC's head has gone. Needs benching on Saturday.

What a surprise as soon as Hyam comes on we concede. He and Buckley were embarrassing for that goal. I actually hate Hyam. Proper soft c*nt, never willing to die for a clean sheet. SHITHOUSE JRC has been absolutely dogshit.

Buckley needs to do a lot better than what's he's shown this half, been very poor. If he fancies himself to be a decent player championship level then he needs to be controlling games like this.

Pears is absolute clown shoes.
