The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, Summer 2024 rumours thread.

He's a number 10.

Not when I watched him last year he wasn’t - a definite right winger

 

[Micky]

He does also play as a right winger but I believe he's thought of as more of a 10.

Nope

Yeah but don’t let facts get in the way of a good whinge

It's not a fact though.

He's a winger.

He’s here, he’s there, he’s everyfuckingwhere. Or just all over the place.

Unless he can also play in goal and cut oranges up into quarters then he can GTFO.

I shall from henceforth tell people to Garry Taylor-Fletcher Off

Yep. Can hardly be defined as a winger.

He also considers Number 10 to be his natural position.

So a few observations:

1. The only department of the pitch we have significantly invested in is central defence. We are now so top heavy in that department that Souttar, a 15M signing can’t even get on the bench in a preseason friendly

2. We’ve lost our best player from last year and there are no signs of a replacement

3. We still have 4 keepers on the books

4. While it was probably time for Nacho to move on we are now razor thin up front and relying on Cannon and Daka

5. We’ve replaced our manager with a bloke who got bombed out at Forest

6. Season starts in two weeks…

It is increasingly looking like a long, hard season. We aren’t moving quickly to address our squad. I’m not optimistic of our chances. The actions of the club, so far, suggest they think the same.

Grumble.

[give_us_a_wave]

Overall I think the bare facts are probably :

1) Nobody we really want wants to come here
2) We can't afford the ones that do want to come
3) Decent strikers are like ****ing gold dust,same as always
4) No ****er wants the useless shite we need to sell in order to buy
5) Danny Ward is a ****.

Other than that it's all going quite well.

We’ve replaced our manager with a bloke who kept Forest in the Premier League.

And who almost certainly would have got them relegated if they hadn't got rid when they did.

Nope

 

[fitz]

He's a number 10.

But he wears a 12...baby keep a little 2 for me.

 

[Orifice]

Anyway, we're still 11th in the Prem, ahead of Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs and we haven't lost a league game yet. I'd be happy for the season to end now.

 

[londonfox]

Nope

Yep.

If league tables were permanently done on club names every season, I wonder how long it would be before we got relegated. 3 years? Ish?

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

The first team (assuming it is considered AFC Bournemouth) who would take the title off them would be Accrington, who currently sit in League two.
