Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

I'd like to think it was a metaphor for us, and Bruce, being in a vegetative state at the time.

[AV82EC]

I’ll always be grateful to Bruce for Stabilising and turning around the club and pointing it In the right direction. In hindsight it would have been better for all concerned if he’d been let go when NSWE arrived but it wasn’t to be and he had to carry the can for his own Inadequate squad building.

[Risso]

I still can't get over that the fitter Bolasie got with us, the worse he played.

He really was just a complete show pony, with amazing skill but no end product.  At the Leeds game at home, he beat two defenders with an amazing couple of drag backs and flicks, but then crossed to nobody.  Summed him up perfectly.

That was right in front of me, sublime to the ridiculous in the space of 2 seconds.

My abiding memory of bolasie, and it’s probably that one but he did it a few times, is getting into acres of space behind the fullback then looking like he didn’t have the faintest idea what to do next.

Replace Bolasie with El Ghazi

[ADVILLAFAN]

Bolasie was nearly as bad as Tonev

I wouldn't go that far, Bolasie did at least look like he was a footballer.

At least it was only a loan; unlike the other ultimate showpony, C NZog.

Strange, but good luck to him

[manic-road]

I suppose his wages were why nobody came in for him, all the best to him anyway.

[Three Spires Villa]

Frees up a place and wages? He did very little,  assist v Everton, goal at Brighton. Not good enough

[cdbearsfan]

You can only name 25 players so we would have been paying a player to not play. If we have got him off the wage bill and he finds another club then win win for both parties and good luck to him.

Fun watching Manure getting gouged by anyone and everyone in the market.

Desperation must be setting in at the World's biggest football club.

Still, they did manage a Grealish/Sancho consolation prize in Beeky.
