Oh please. Folk were very happy and acting as if KDH was an incredible upgrade because he was a technical upgrade on Conor, had “lit up the championship” and worked with Maresca previously 😂 I genuinely reckon he will be moved on in the summer irrespective due to poor performances or lack of minutes. Suppose we will see by the end of the season but said it at the start, was an incredibly daft move and stand by that. Conor’s start at Atletico - 3 league games, 2 goals and 2 MOTMs….

Yep very strange move. As said at the time, never an upgrade on Conor, yet people were getting giddy over a season in the Championship. He has been shocking so far, even in limited minutes, just looks miles off it.

Never mind a loan… sell. If he is as desperate to leave as being reported also - makes more sense. Although the sort of clubs who would want him will not pay £40-50m for him.

True. Also on Felix - again true. But apparently we got a bargain on a world class talent if you take 75% of the opinions on here…. will do something one week then go missing for ages.

First time seeing this. Stats are so bad. How can you have 70% of the ball yet concede 19 shots, 7 on target. Absolutely poor. Then look at ours 10 shots, 3 on target. Then touches in opposition box, again Bournemouth 32% possession, Yet more than us…. Got lucky today. Won’t get lucky every week with Sanchez pulling in a MOTM award. Barring a good period of the Wolves game we have been so up and down it is unreal and it can’t continue. Don’t get me wrong Bournemouth are a pretty half decent team but still.

Any game where Robert Sanchez is MOTM for us should spell out trouble. Too many mistakes and inconsistency again but 3 points is 3 points.

Was the dame nonsense about Torres too. He looks good/sharp in training….

Keep seeing things about how players & coaches see quality or ability from him in training… If competitive football matches were decided in training, ok fair, but they aren’t and we hear it far too often. Yet see nothing on the pitch from him to back up these claims. Must go. No loan. Sell at a loss. Wasn’t at the level required when we signed him but also didn’t have a lot of experience in men’s football. Technically he is awful too, like really. Decision making also incredibly poor, wrong decision 3/4’s of time but if he had played another 100 games maybe be better - but again big maybe.

What a fucking mess off the pitch. Both side of this new ownership are parasites. Says a lot when even Boehly is unsure of Eghbali’s recruitment strategy too. A man who apparently presented a 4-4-3 formation to Thomas Tuchel. Shambles.

Thank fuck one of the two halves of this abomination of an ownership group will be gone then. Just a pity that one half will remain and be fully in control. Absolutely killed this club since they took over.

Apparently Gala paying £160k of his salary yet we wouldn’t offer him over £150k on a permanent deal. Can’t see it. Unless we put another £40-50k on top of it. Minimum. Aye he’s parted way with his agent, wanted a permanent move, still doesn’t mean his wage demands may drop significantly.

Lot of talk Oshimen deal wouldn’t happen as it was apparently insisted up on by as a loan with obligation/option to buy. Then fucked about with salary offers. This is why you do not fuck about on deals for non essential signings like KDH, Sancho & Felix and get the players you actually fucking need. Talk about another poor summer from managerial appointment all the way to fucking recruiting. Again. Sporting directors need to be fucking sacked.

No top quality GK, CB or CF yet we’ve signed countless wingers and attacking midfielders. Thats 3 key positions that has been well known that we need top quality players in for the last 18 months. Anyone - and I mean anyone - who think Clearlake, Laurence Stewart & Paul Winstanley have got a fucking clue what their doing is beyond help. I mean are they waiting for Joe Shields to recommend ex Man City GK, CB & CFs….

What happens when you wing recruitment. Or then marginalise players on big wages and long contracts without anyone wanting to sign them.

Wont happen. His career is as good as over here although he should be involved in the squad instead of Disasi & that sunday league footballer Tosin 100%. The club will sell him off next summer for profit. Just not happened this window because nobody has stumped up the fee they wanted. Plus in the slim chance it did happen to take him back, I kind of hope he tells them to ram it after not taking him on the US tour and banishing him from first facilities, he deserved much better than that. No way to treat an academy graduate. No surprise now the PFA are looking at abolishing clubs bombing first team players to make them move now also. Get it for 2 or 3 guys but 10-15 players… another masterclass from Clearlake 👍

Obviously Chelsea sources are going to say its a good offer. They said the same about the offers to Mount & Gallagher too which were 1 and 2 year deals. Probably said the same about every other player who has declined offers here too. I quite believe we have offered the £130k p/w believing it to be a very good offer too. Without a shadow of a doubt…. If you were OshimenC you wouldn’t think we were that desperate to sign you with an offer like that. Piss take. Just give him £170-200k p/w and get it fucking done. We have lowered the average wage to 70k across the board one big signing isn’t going to bankrupt us or cause any huge issues fuck sake. Sancho on loan as well - stop fucking about. Dont need him. Try to offload some players instead of signing another winger.

The issue is (I get the idea of being patient with some players/ waiting to January or next summer) but this is a pivotal season - if we fall further away from the top 4 than to it then again the implications this has on the club financially are definitely going to make things more difficult. Not to mention again, the further we fall away the harder it makes it to make up the ground. I genuinely don’t think those guys are going to get the 20-30 odd goal contributions extra most would expect from a reasonable level of CF. The wage structure is one imposed by the clubs owners so ultimately if we don’t make progress due to signing players of lower quality or lower pedigree on those wages/not being able to attract the elite players - then it is on them. On a different note what the fuck are we doing going after Sancho…. when we have so many guys to get rid of maybe 10 off the top of my head at least. This club is bonkers. Like regardless of how Oshimen or Toney would do or what they’d cause - another winger over a number 9 is fucking mindblowing.

Did we break even? Probably not. Who they gonna sell him to next?

Lets be honest, I do get the point your trying to make but realistically we are going to get nowhere with a false 9. And the itinerary all summer has been to recruit a striker alongside Guiu. Oshimen and Toney not perfect by any stretch but both much better than Jackson, Guiu and playing anybody as false 9s. Jackson couldn’t finish his dinner and Guiu needs to grow into first team football. Be a painful season again. Saudi’s not fucking about though, agreed deals for 2 players, if Oshimen doesn’t go they get Toney or vice versa. Ruthless.

Nobody disputing that. Not at all. Do you think if we had offered him a third of that from the get go he’s be going to Saudi though?

Napoli played us a blinder. Got Lukaku for what £10m cheaper than we originally wanted to sell him for only for Oshimen to go to Saudi 😂 Not sure whether to laugh or cry at these muppets running the club. Ok we can say the Saudi’s have offered insane money all we want but if we had actually put together a half decent proposal - he’d already have agreed a move here by now. Not rocket science, we start fannying about, offers opportunities up to other teams. If he was 20 or 21 and had played 25-30 games in some obscure league you can bet your arse we would have paid the £115m release clause too.

Not getting far playing like that. Was some encouraging signs with the ball against Wolves but still a lot of concerns defensively in terms of pressing and when caught on transition. Tonight has done nothing to relieve me of those concerns - B team or not. And offensively yes we had some chances but Mudryk? Does Sterling really not offer more than that fucking clown? Should be stripping him of the 10 shirt and putting him to the bomb squad ASAP. Fucking garbage.

Probably was because Jackson had a shot from a position where he wasn’t offside

Multiple people on here said they were both better than Chalobah and Gallagher and a better suit to Maresca’s philosophy (which must include conceding a lot of chances)…. Oh how wrong they were 😂 On evidence so far its worse than imagined, both are awful. Like you would rather use the kids than them two. Oh wait we’re selling them all for profit!

Somebody phone Leicester ask them if they’ll take KDH back. Cunts been missing all game. Nobody can be serious in saying we upgraded on anyone signing him 🤣 And Tosin? Fucking Sunday league boys. The boy Anderson from Palace that Fulham signed to replace him is three times the player at least.
