Breaking news Steve Parish had dug around the sofa and found 2 one pound coins and a stale mint.

We have bid £30m for CG on the never never and will pay the full amount after we have won the PL for the 2nd time and he gets his 100th cap for England.

Just trying to share news guys ! Why dont you try sharing something constructive , Very immature .

The narrative of January being a difficult window is showing Parish up this time round. More like its us that finds it difficult. We have one good window and then we'll spend the foreseeable future ones doing nothing and paying for it. As many have said poor attempt throwing the Gallagher rumours in. Also how poor is our scouting that we need to revisit this again

What is the point of Dougie travelling all over Europe watching all these supposed games

Always the poor relation

To make an assessment of Vieira’s view of the squad you would have to conclude he’s less than satisfied in certain areas. The evidence?
He plays Zaha or Ayew down the middle in preference to Edouard and Mateta and this is despite the fact that it’s not Zaha’s preferred position.
He uses Schlupp in central midfield in preference to authentic central midfield players in Hughes and Luka.
He has not really used summer purchases of Richards, Johnstone and Ebiowei.

This is not to debate the merits or the validity of his choices.
It’s more an indication that he’s not convinced by our options in midfield and up front and doesn’t feel the summer purchases are good enough at present or at least not better than the alternatives already in the squad.
I wonder if Vieira’s aligned with the club’s transfer policy on player selection, or whether he’s resigned to the constraints imposed and recognises that his job is limited to managing the players the club impose on him.

I wonder how it was discussed during the interview process:
"Yes Pat, you'll pick the team, but Dougie sources the players and I sign the cheques. Incidentally I want us to play like Barcelona did when then had Iniesta, Xavi, and Messi bossing the midfield. Everybody happy?"

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any news to share. I've never known a window with as few rumours as this one. Parish has already implied that the club is skint so I don't really know what there is to be discussed and if we don't have the occasional humour we would all be very miserable

I dont think he has improved, a quality player, Guehi and Mitchell have certainly gone backwards, all with most of the other players

Luka, Jairo and Hughes used to be reasonable CM players, not brilliant but decent, then PV got hold of them and seemed to ruin what ability/confidence that they had.

Luka was struggling pre Vieira, Jairo has not managed to command a regular spot since he joined . Hughes , I’d like to see him get a chance but the manager clearly doesn’t trust him enough.

You’re apportioning blame to suit your agenda which is par for the course with you

The club and the manager have different agendas, the Club want to keep in the premiership with the least outlay, PV wants us to play a style that incompatible with our revenue, i have no agenda, but it is clear that the club is realistic, maybe badly run, and PV has not, as yet, shown any realism and understanding what is needed as a mid table club

You are mistaken. PV, like FdB before him, was brought in with a certain playing style in mind from our chairman. At least that is the way it seems to me. When it dawns on Parish (again) that the club can't play like golden age Ajax, AC Milan, Barcelona, Arsenal or present day Man City on a shoestring then Dyche will be offered the job. Or as you suggest, Derry will be promoted. Something to look forward to I guess.

I think we hide behind the FFP scenario to appease our fans. It can only be our gargantuan wage bill that is holding us back

Other teams play better football and (more importantly) are a greater goal threat than us on a similar or worse budget. Brentford and ,dare I say it, the Weed to name but two. And even if you look into the Championship with the job Kompany has done to transform Burnley.

Personally I don’t care how pleasing on the eye we are. I’d take getting it up the other end quickly and having more chances in opposition box over passing it about for the sake of it and getting nowhere near the goal!

I dont think that Conor will be coming back to us after today, We took turns fouling him which was good . He fvcking played out of his skin today, diving trying to win a penalty at the end our fans were booing him every touch he got , a bit of pushing and shoving when he went down time wasting and got Geuhi booked . a right annoying cvnt . Dont think our player like him too much .
