That wouldn’t be the end of the world for me. Other than the remaining promotion players, who do we have a special bond with, who’s been an incredible acquisition?

Jota and Traore are at a level we can only dream of. Incredible pace and guile, delivered in virtually every performance. Their goal and assist stats this season must be on another level to our creators (Gross, Propper, March, Mooy, Trossard, Jahanbakhsh). Not picking on any of them, it’s...

I get your point and actually agree with you. Palace fans for example rattle on about we’ve had a net spend greater than Liverpool’s in the last 6 windows. Which is a spurious fact, because we had to start from scratch in summer 2017 in building PL quality. My point is actually different...

They’ll only be all over us if we’re in the top 3. Leeds, Fulham & WBA dominate live TV games this year, every time I glance at Sky Sports. If we’re in the other 21 places, we do not have a special allure for football fans in general.

£205m spent, and no RB who can defend for 90 minutes every week (hopefully Lamptey’s that player), no CF, and a lack of goals from midfield (whoever the coach is).

According to Co House: 2017/18 fees spent £57.5m 2018/19 £77.9m Then add: Clarke £4m Webster £22m Trossard £18m Maupay £16m Lamptey £4m McAllister fee £0.8m Mooy £5m = £205m Have I missed anyone signed since 1 July 2019?

The club has made so many right moves in the last 23 years. But player recruitment from Easter 2017 to January 2020 stands out as in the main woeful, so many blunders, huge sums blown. The fact that TB doesn’t fire anyone, makes me think that Winstanley was under strict orders for ‘value’...

Thoughts of Championship make me more likely to renew. 9 wins a season football and a goal scored per game (if lucky) is a grind. Take away the copious pints of beer, the grub and craic with mates/family, and the Albion PL football ‘product’ underneath that veil ain’t all that.
