Surprised by this, heck of a gamble.

Nor would many other teams. Problem is he's probably content sat on his £30k p/w. What would we pay him with? We can't have another loanee in the squad either. Plus would take a while to get fit as not played since October & not even training with the squad anymore.

Goalscoring is definitely his main weakness at the moment but plenty of time to improve that. I think you might be surprised if Lampard does get the sack that Mount will still be a key player. The high press is king for the top sides & there's none better at it than Mount. Don't forget Chelsea...

Quite a few & I have a Chelsea season ticket holding mate who loves him too. I know he's a player that divides opinion even among their own fanbase though. A lot of what he does are the unseen qualities (much like Ben Sheaf for us). His work off the ball is absolutely elite & he's a lot more...

Not at all & I'm not trying to shame anyone, I asked what you considered to be "carrying on like we are"? Some criticism is definitely deserved after the last performance (and 2 or 3 others) but generally it's nowhere near as bad as some like to make out. Unless people had crazy expectations...

How many of our players would get near Swansea's team?

Dion's goal, even now with the new ruling of being treated as on the line, would still count as he was never in an offside position when a teammate played the ball.

Sure: Also, given we usually play 1 up front he is the strike force 🤡

On other threads you've said he's "poor" & (your favourite saying) "not at the level" 🤣 I suppose you're covering all bases as usual.

Re: Kastaneer, Yes, of course he has, nobody will deny that. Personally I don't rate Biamou either & I think his contract probably had an auto extension in it but Robins knew that both of those 2 weren't up to it & has been trying for some time to shift them. I thought Baka might be worth...

Good to see you've written Gyökeres off already, no surprise there 🙄 Walker should hopefully be back soon too which improves us significantly. You seem to think everyone else is banging in loads of goals & have impenetrable defences. In reality there's other teams in the league that are...

They weren't signed with the Championship in mind though & we can't afford to overhaul the entire squad in one summer. Bakayoko is the only one given a new deal & we obviously felt that persuading somebody better to come in as a 3rd/4th choice on similar money to what we're paying Bakayoko...

Define carry on like we are... The last game? The last 3, 5, 10? Seems an awful lot of knee jerk reactions from one game by some & ignoring that we comprehensively won the previous one.

I'd argue they are unusually bad. I don't recall recent seasons where half our starting XI have all been out injured at the same time have they? That's not a fact, it's an opinion as you have no idea of who's available/affordable etc. If Gyökeres turns out underwhelming then who could we have...

That's what I disagree with. I think us staying up with what we had before all the injuries would have been an achievement, staying up in spite of them would be phenomenal. Our recruitment team is heralded as one of the best around by other recruiters, data analysts etc. I trust them & Robins...

Just think you're being overly critical. It was widely acknowledged we needed cover for Kelly & Godden & he's brought that in. I'm sure in an ideal world he'd improve other areas too but the budget can only stretch so far.

From what I've heard Birmingham didn't want to let Crowley go to a rival & we're already over the quota of loanees anyway.

Well you don't seem to think they're in the relegation fight despite being below us & with even less threat up front than us (even with all their strikers fit) & conceding more goals than us?

Who would you have signed then?

His decision to have no budget too no doubt?
