This stinks. Nuno and his agent are taking the piss out of our club and it's OAP chairman.

Let's just hope Bento's entering the fray at West Ham.

Are you saying this Bento commands the box ?

In fairness, I didn't know who we was linked with, just glad we are being linked with a keeper, but let's hope so.

It was just a bad pun mate
Bento... box
As you were

Yeah, me an all.

The wonder saves look great, but we need someone calm and steady, who commands & organises his defenders, comes for crosses, catches the ball, you know, the fundamentals of goalkeeping.

Agree, these transfers in will not change much without better CBs. I also think we need another, more experienced centre midfielder that, unlike the 3 tortoises we have ( Soucek, Guido, Irvine), can sub on for Potts, Magassa and Fernandes. These 3, all 22 or under, will have off days when they show their inexperience like last Saturday.  Someone with legs and an appetite for hard work in midfield, a leader, in the squad would be perfect. Picking up Xhaka or Henderson might have been a shrewd move in hindsight. Someone with that kind of profile on loan for 6 months. Wishful thinking I guess?

Where are the two centre backs we need?

Utterly fucking clueless management from tofrom bottom. We're doomed.

It's not because "he cannot take it anymore", it'll be because he's on a heavily incentivised performance-related contract and we've just signed two players who will be vying for his shirt

That was part of the thought process, not just the playing side of not taking it anymore. He also won't take the fact he's been shunned when also on such a deal. I don't blame him at all for wanting out with how he has been poorly treated since playing here under Nuno.

Come on , you KNOW it makes sense
