Oh FFS! A new transfer window coming up - worthy of its own thread. Why the hell dig up a moribund thread from eight years ago? Necrophiliacs trying for a rare night in the light? FFS do go and do one. Hopefully there'll be a good, interesting thread about the January 2024 transfer window -...
Always thought there wouldn't be much incoming, after Pedro, Milner amd Dahoud came in early. Yes. we've lost Mac and Moises (which we expected) - but now we seem to be reducing the squad. Undav, Sarmiento and Ayari were all first team players last season (OK, not regulars, but all played some...
