The Transfer Thread 2023/24 - Everything Not Wolves

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah it’s really weird, I don’t think Sheff Utd’s issues are as well documented and I think people think Luton will be tough at their place even though they’ll be miles short quality wise

Teams that should be miles out of their depth do sometimes get a weird bounce - like Blackpool had 28 points after 20 games in 2010/11. Still went down though.

I can't see Luton or Sheff Utd reaching 30 points this time though. Think the gap is even bigger now than it was then and neither have done the kind of business you can see working.

Down with 39 points too, better than Albion staying up in 2005 with 34, spawny twats.

Just put money on these 2 getting at least 3 points from us next season

Spurs reject €100m bid from Bayern for Kane.

Guess he is walking away on a free next Summer then

I think I kind of want Luton to stay up, but I say this knowing I'd be largely shielded from what I can only imagine would be an insufferable media circus were they to do so.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It wouldn’t be like that at all really. Media circus and Luton don’t sit well together. Small provincial club fairytale stories sort of need the town where it’s based not making Salems Lot feel like Bel Air.

I can say this as I lived just outside Luton for years. It’s AWFUL.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I dunno, they loved Blackpool.

I have been to this pub in Blackpool.

 

[Alan]

Ah yes, The "World Famous" Jaggy Thistle. Many Americans dream of making the pilgrimage.

 

[Kenny]

Media are loving Luton in the Prem because of how bad things seem there for anyone not in a Luton shirt

Anyone would think the away players have to get to the pitch via the away end (see how many times the away entrance is mentioned in any Luton game on TV) and then a shark infested pit before getting changed in a hole the locals use a communal toilet inbetween match days

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m just guessing, but I doubt droids are welcome in there

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kenilworth Road is properly shit (if I'm struggling for leg room then everyone else bar Jinky, Joe Pasquale and Rishi Sunak is too) but I've been to far worse grounds.

Hello The Manor Ground or late 90s Fratton Park.

 

[Sniffer]

Ah yes, The "World Famous" JAGGY THIST E. Many Americans dream of making the pilgrimage.

FIFY

You have seen the dressing rooms I take it???? Kenilworth Road cunningly combines poor sight lines (if one is generous) with being archaic in a downright dangerous rather than quaint way. And the Bedfordshire Volunteer pub near the away end is like the set of Shameless.

Layer Road was “interesting”. As was Roots Hall.

 

[Alan]

FIFY

If it wasn't so world famous I would have been totally fooled!

 

[Kenny]

Aye. Up there with the best I have used across the Sunday League changing rooms.

 

[Alan]

I'm sure we'll get to hear about every grimy detail of the dressing rooms there if Pep needs to deflect from dropping points against Luton.

 

[Kenny]

City will probably turn up with their own portable changing rooms on the back of a lorry.

 

[Alan]

Get a team of folks in City branded HAZMAT suits to disinfect the benches prior to arriving, too.

 

[The Bear]

I'd say the media love in will be bigger if Burnley stay up. Ex Man City captain as manager, and a new era after Dyche.
