they wanted £20m for Diaz but with 1 year left on his contract nobody would take the gamble. it's a big jump, especially for a striker

Sure I saw a comment from Leeds saying they'd looked at Diaz but didn't think he'd replicate his goal scoring in the PL. That's fine for me. Like a game of poker, you can't go in on every hand

Thought I`d seen Blackburn turned down 12 million but 14/15 might have done the trick.

Great squad today. Strong 11, with a bench with lots of options

tough game though. good, well coached side brentford. I'd take a point now

One of those days when nothing went right. Llorente is a calamity, and so is VAR

llorente is a shambles of a player. truly awful. surely cooper will play next monday.
bamford, rusty or not, is half the threat tony is. we need a threat up top.
VAR. where do I start? this tef never impressed in the championship. he was next to the foul which led to the penalty and gave nothing. VAR is for obvious errors. ut took 5 minutes of checking so it wasnt that obvious.
take VAR and the ref ignoring a clear pull back on Somerville in the box and you despair.
lots of top refs retired last year. a lit if this new crop are bloody awful.

Fortunately I missed the game due to being at Headingley.
Saw the highlights and thought we should have had a pen.
Llorente at fault for 3 goals and did I read Bamford missed from 1 yard out!!?
When will the penny drop that since last season we have needed a striker with or without Bamford.
Toney shows us what we have been missing.
Surely Cooper plays next match.

he missed from 6 inches with nobody near him....

more alarming was marsch saying he didnt want james to go but to sign one another had to go. the net spend has been peanuts.
are we so hard up? I like this board, they've taken us a long way but it might be the time for the 49ers to step in

How the hell did he miss from that range?

Yes it`s a bit worrying that our hopes were raised when we were looking at spending 40 million.
Only to now find out we needed to offload someone before bringing in another.
I can only see us scrapping it out at the bottom come April unless we bring in 2 or 3 more players of quality.
Sounds a lot like last year!
