Summer transfer window 2023

We laughed about Che Adams - we’d now be lucky to get him.

Everton are 3/1 to be relegated - 5 clubs have shorter odds.

This has to be the bet of the century.

Yes you have to wait over 6 months for a return but 3/1 for a certainty doesn’t come along very often.

It all sounds a bit like January. Working hard to get something done and then not getting it done isn’t an excuse - it’s a fundamental problem.

If this wasn't true I would laugh

BOYCOTT THE SPORTING GAME

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

That Dyche interview confirms everything we’ve been saying in this thread. No surprises at all with what he said.

Also not surprised the powers that be have left the manager to deliver that message. No accountability whatsoever.

Would have been better to get relegated and just put us out of our misery.

What worries me a little bit is the transfer embargo we’re about to get handed. Twinned with the contract status of 70% of our first team, what do we look like squad wise in 2 seasons time?

Heard a rumour it's going to be a 5-year transfer ban and we're no longer allowed to sell pints in the new stadium.

I’ve been thinking Sheff Utd and Luton will go back down but you never know, I didn’t think Bournemouth would stay up last season. And remember a few years ago when Huddersfield came up, nobody gave them a chance but they stayed up.

We have a dire squad, no depth, and arguably the worst attack in the division.

If we don't get a striker in it will constitute gross negligence on the part of the Board.

I would say it's continued gross negligence.

It's been going on a while.

Sandro, Rooney, Klaasen and Sigurdsson in one window. Then giving Fat Sam money to waste on Walcott and Tosun. Benitez getting shut of our most creative players in Digne and Rodriguez as soon as he could are just a few examples. Bolasie for silly money as well.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Devastating Situation.

 

[Neiler]

At this stage all hope is lost.

That interview has floored me. It's not good enough for him to state that. In any case I dont particularly want to hear from Dyche. The DoF should be getting interviewed to account for himself and his overseeing of the degradation of this club.

Still think we will bring another three in myself mate.

More concerned that we have have likely worked our way down our list.

People will laugh but Luton will shock a lot of teams at home. They are a big, physical side, dangerous from set pieces. Wouldn’t fancy us going there for starters.

Watched them a few times last season, they are decent going forwards and don't give you a minute.
Can see them doing OK early season till teams work them out

More chance of seeing Santa fight the Easter Bunny than hearing from that fat kopite

A few here seem to have forgotten how Dyche talks.
Even if we had a player flying in tomorrow to sign a deal he’d say ‘we’re working hard, don’t worry everyone is working really hard, we’re all aligned, we know what we want to achieve and everyone is working really hard to get there’.
He’ll give nothing away until it’s done.
