Club has confirmed that Paqueta wants a move this January, probably back to Brazil. Club ain't keen though. Paqueta is a small dicked motherfucker. No class or loyalty. Fuck off Lucas.

Don't worry! Don't worry!
Sullivan knows (KNOWS) exactly what the fans want and will deliver against those expectations.

If the CB area is not fixed we will continue to ship goals regardless of the division we are in. Kilman playing againat Spurs makes me shudder and will be jyst what they need.
Pinnock very likely to be finalised before Sat.

Agree we desperately needed a CB before Mav went off today, so probably need 2 now.
But look at our bench. The attacking options are absolutely shocking.
We needed these two strikers before we decided to offload Callum Wilson.
I can't see Charlie Cresswell wanting to join us. We'll have to offer him a genuine plan to get straight back up if we do go down. Highly improbable.
Ake doesn't want to come, Pinnock is a good lad but we shouldn't expect too much but he's better than Kilman and Mavro - he gets stuck in at the very least.
Pah!

The need for a CB just increased with Stavros getting injured. Another quality, strong, athletic ball carrying, goal scoring central midfielder also still needed. I mean we need more and what we need we wont get at least in terms of quality so another defeat at Spurs next week looks assured?
To me everything should be about preparing for the Championship
With 17 games and 51 points still up for grabs by early January with the transfer window still open
Some sound as defeating as Nuno manages at times.
We are 7 points behind, not 17. Back to back wins which isn't impossible if managed right can soon change the situation quickly.
I agree we ain't down in early January, a lot of football left still and traditionally we have always put up a fight (I think) when we have gone down in the past.
But of course we are really up against it and cannot be confident of survival at this point. You can't keep losing your must win games. What worries me is it only takes one more swing of us losing and Forest winning and it's 10 points, then I think you'd have to accept it.
Every previous occasion that we went down our home form was absolutely dismal until it was far too late in the day. Historically, our away form has rarely been very good so it is what it is.
Unless we pull something out of the Coventry or Southampton playbook from back in the day. It was incredible how often they were able to defy gravity when looking dead and buried.
It's looking desperate

Tevez looked good in the recent Soccer Aid game, and as we know from the subsequent enquiries, he single handedly kept us up when 10 points adrift. Should see if he fancies lacing up.

I just can't believe we gave the no hoper the Forest game after that Wolves one - well actually I can't believe we gave him the Fulham one after the City surrender having not won in 7. How more convinced do these idiots need to be because it's making it more and more harder to stay up now. No denying we aint in a right hole and it doesn't look good. Not terminal just yet but it could be the longer we keep this div.

If Earthy isn’t playing he might as well go out
Id be picking him & the likes of Kante ahead of next season but I’m not the genius Nuno
Id be offering Paqueta for sale now but Nuno with no evidence thinks he is irreplaceable
To me everything should be about preparing for the Championship
Ideally that would be with new owners, new manager & Brady told YOURE FIRED

Not only was his output good for the Stiffs in all competitions he continues to produce it in the FA Cup as well. Since back from injury that's 5 goals, 5 assists in 10 appearances.
Was a class bit of play from him as well to receive the ball on the turn to then beat a man before playing a lovely weighted forward pass for them to score from. I just think how good he could have linked up with Bowen and Summerville all ratting about in the final third. Still Nuno knows best after only giving him 8 minutes of Football to be sure he aint ready..

Tiny bit of good news for us yesterday: Earthy played well as Bristol City smashed Watford.
Their fans are delighted he’s back. Clearly, the youngster can play well at Championship level. We’ll need that when Paqueta fucks off when we go down.
Good decision to loan him out again. We’ll need him to hit the ground running next season.
Very good point actually. Should we go down, we’ll have a player far more prepared than if he were sitting on the bench in London getting scraps or nothing for the rest of this season.
City, though, would have the last word when on-loan West Ham midfielder George Earthy after a successful loan spell last season, set up Riis to seal his hat-trick.
From beeb an assist after coming on.

I think you're missing the point. He doesn't keep us up so the club ought to be doing something that could at least lead to some level of a positive however small. We've either got to sign a fucking superhero level player or prep for the championship. Disasi is helpful in neither scenario.
If it’s loan him or loan no one else, Loan him. There is no downside.
The downside is that he has no upside, has to be paid for and prevents the club doing something positive rather than this zero point move. I'm starting to think you're a bit dense.
As I said all along, IF WE DON’T SIGN ANYONE ELSE there is zero downside.
If he’s on loan it doesn’t matter. He goes back regardless of what division we are in.

Sometimes you've got to stop throwing good money after bad. Is Disasi better than Kilman? Yes. Is he good enough to keep us up? Absolutely not. Therefore what is the point? Even playing Kilman every week in the hope he somehow regains some level of competence makes better sense than a pointless loan if you take emotion out of it. Dont really have an opinion on Pinnock as I dont recall ever seeing him play, but he seems like a 'preparing for the championship' sort of signing. Which is probably what we ought to be doing.

Words going for us to bid for Schjelderup. Winger from Norway playing for Benfica. Hard working and young, but i can't see him adding more then we had in Guilherme. Weird business of true. If we should go for a Norwegian winger, Nusa should be the target.leta hope we instead get a decent CB or two, as Kilman and Macro will get us relegated for sure...

I genuinely don't understand the Ward-Prowse/Wilson bomb squad.
Seems to be biting our noses off to spite our faces.
Wonder if Ward-Prowse is just thinking he'll wait out the big bald fuck.
Something clearly happened between Nuno and JWP during the Forest loan. It was so bizarre to immediately cut him out, even if none of us thought he should be starting. He’s roundly thought of as a good influence in the squad so to not even have him on the bench just makes it feel like there’s something really personal there.
