Who was it that never seemed to stop telling everybody what a terrible signing Barkely was?

Could have been me
In fairness though I had the same arguments when we signed are Dendonker and Bedernock or whatever his name was

No fucker ever brings them up though do they

I always thought Bowen looked a top prospect at Hull and hoped we'd buy him before he went to West Ham. He's a very good player, available, and in a position we need to upgrade in quality from Guessand/Bailey. Bowen would massively improve our right side. He's creative and proven he can score goals in the Premier League. Our attacking threat would be significantly potent if we had this guy.

I've lost track of the whole discussion.

There were many points.

I understand the disappointment at the possibility of Bowen (and I think I agree, although I change my mind all the time on it) but I reckon most outsiders will be thinking it's a great signing.

Swinkels going permanently to Sheff Wed - excellent for him, no doubt a low fee and clauses

Good luck to the young man, and the Owls.

Apparently we have put a buy back clause as part of the deal.

My vague memory of Royal was decent attacking and dreadful defensively.

Don’t think he’s much cop going forward either though

No fucker ever brings them up though do they

I was totally against Barkley returning...and Lindelof. Thought Elliot would go well 😀
