kingkisnorbo Posted 20 July 2022 Share Posted 20 July 2022 If Forest go for Lingard with the kind of dough he’s demanding then they’ll be fvcked if they go down. Silly business for a newly promoted side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 20 July 2022 Share Posted 20 July 2022 Huddersfield fans must be absolutely raging, not only were they screwed out of at least 1 penalty in that PO Final but now to rub salt in the wounds 2 of their best players have gone to the side that benefited from those poor decisions.

Dan LCFC Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 Everton will be absolute rubbish still I've no doubt at all. I don't think last season was some freak. Maybe a 'slight' underperformance but it's just a straight up poor squad and it's even worse than they finished last season with. Can see them being right in the mix again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans to be fair to them pulled out all the stops to carry them to survival. Their team is generally very poor. There's a real lack of goals. Calvert-Lewin can score goals at this level but he needs service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think what happened with them was a good example of how the fans can make a difference. Their end here was by a mile the best all season as it happens - on another level to anything they've served up here. But the reality is there was a hint of novelty about it all for them. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes the way of Sunderland a bit where they lose the will for that every season. I'm not saying they'll drop but I wouldn't be shocked at all if they were in the discussion again. They're a bad team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d be fuming if you were Brennan Johnson. You sign a new contract for about a quarter of that wage a week, then you see a player who is worse than you walking in on that amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this season Everton will be alright, Richarlison is a big loss but I dunno - still obviously a long time before the window closes but outside of the promoted sides (I think Forest will likely be fine) Brentford and Leeds are the ones I'd be looking at. Norwich and Watford being so bad last season was definitely the saving grace of a couple of sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said actually they only got 4 points from both of them last season which is hilariously bad. I agree with Brentford. I think Bournemouth will go down. Can't decide on Leeds. I expect them to be one of many dross sides down the bottom again. Maybe 15th or so but with a scare or two. A finish like that though and they're firmly in circling the bowl territory and it becomes a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine it'll be loaded with tonnes of relegation clauses so they either a) aren't lumbered with him at all or b) aren't lumbered with him on 200k a week. It does set a precedent within the wage structure though. Weird because their business up to now (on paper, I know) looks to be pretty sensible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Leeds could go either way - I know Phillips was crocked for a decent whack of last season but losing him and Raphinha in one window is massive. Depends how Marsch's Red Bull obsession pays off, really – would have Gelhardt off them if they dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bit rubbish really albeit a couple of interesting prospects have come in and they're weirdly streaky. They'll be awful for six months then win something like 9 in 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
