It was very dark and after losing three gallons of liquid at the toilet, I walked into my bedroom and kicked the speaker boombox I forgot to move. The pain was that excruciating that I was rotating like I was doing some new dance, hands on feet, trying to find my bed. It was like I was on hot coals but couldnt move forward to reach the end, with steam coming out of my ears like a tom n Jerry cartoon. Anyways now I'm at the point, where I've woken up and I feel as though im putting weight on one side all while my bad foot is trying to turn me round in circles. I dont know what this has to do with ACL injury, it does not in anyway, I just thought I'd share my pain while were talking of injurys Sorry my knowledge is limited to sports medicine, not when your drunk as f@#$!!

It seems like the kid had a pick of a lot of great club, but Bologna is the team he chose. the logical conclusion, is they offered him more game time. If not, it was because of their social media team. They won the transfer window with his announcement video 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other interesting point, lowest spender was Burnley, who splashed out a grand total of £1m, only Brighton actually made a profit during the window (+10m). Didn't realise Leeds had spent that much! Burnley are basically preparing to go back into the Championship - £100m of TV money - spend £1m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Our signings have been great. Martinez saved the pen in the first game and won us two points. Barkley got the winner tonight to gain us two points. Watkins netted three against Liverpool. Cash has been great and Traore looks good when he gets game time. I'm happy with the business we have done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hopefully in January we can get Messi to sign a pre contract agreement. On a serious note I want us to do what other clubs do and get one or two deals done for players that can come in January. I hope we can get someone like Harry Souttar and someone like Noah Okafor who is blisteringly quick. Apparently he has a low release clause too.

Pez1974 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Watching the game tonight - can't help but think the "buy Iheanacho" and "buy Slimani" type calls would've not had the impact those suggesting thought. Only a single game, but my club are making me stop having an opinion on transfer targets, and helping me just relax knowing we have professionals in charge. Unlike Steve "I only need 1 centre half in my squad" Bruce. clearing in the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I've liked the idea of signing top championship players for a while. I was a bit sceptical to the prices we had to pay, but looking at Cash and Watkins taking to the PL like duck to water, it makes you wonder if this is something we should keep looking at for future windows. It's a fact that will need less time bedding in terms of the English game, culture etc. so it's more a case of whether they are good enough. And Cash and Watkins sure have impressed so far. And that's before we mention Konsa who only needed a season to look absolutely top class. I'd also praise Deano and co for finding players who seem like they have their heads screwed on so to speak. They come well across methinks. I suspect Deano also had a big say on these signings, so good on him. So... are there any left back options in the Championship?

ciggiesnbeer Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Speaking of Rashica I watched him play tonight. They drew and probably should have lost. It was just one game and he only came on at about 50 mins as he is recovering form injury but...... he was truly awful. He hardly touched the ball and his notable contribution came from giving the ball away after a failed bit of skill leading to a series of opposition (Freiburg) chances. Aside from that he was out of position or anonymous. Best player was Frieburg's right back, some french lad. Werder Bremen's coach looks well disliked and out of his depth. He subbed his previous sub and the player was not having it, lots of mardy and strop going on between player an manager. You love to see it.

Some real gems in that league. Liverpool picked up Robertson from that league. Less of a risk too. Edited October 19, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Really depends.. we have signed some right rubbish in the past from the championship too. It’s like any other league in my opinion. I think the difference is we now offer a stable “platform” to perform as opposed to the absolute car crash seasons we have had in the past. So it’s easier to bed in and adapt etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
