Reports doing the rounds that the Geertruida deal is off, can any Eds or ITKs confirm?
01 Feb 2026 19:01:37
Ornstein and Joyce both said the same, sadly think negligence and leaving it last minute has cost it, typical. Big moves Hughes and the higher ups in general look amateur hour.

Targeted a difficult transfer, so at least they can say we tried to sign someone.
01 Feb 2026 19:16:48
Surely we should have waited until he was having his MRI and done his interviews before calling it off.
01 Feb 2026 19:20:58
Sunderland need a replacement before letting him go, and can't get one according to reports.
01 Feb 2026 19:28:12
Oh my gawd, this is going to tip posters over the edge. Dickie Hughes is going to need 24 hour protection, and I don't mean antiperspirant.
{Ed025's Note - are you "Sure" Rome?.. :)
01 Feb 2026 19:34:56
King Ken totally agree lad. This is getting beyond a joke. The noise over the window seemed ridiculous to almost indicate we are trying to scramble into CL without defensive replacements. Then like panicking school boys they take a punt on a player ( that fits the bill) but is so complicated to achieve given the time scale. It reports are true regarding Denzal he's injured and won't be back anytime soon! What are we a convalescence centre?
Hughes's must be sacked as soon as the window closes. We must review our transfer policy.
01 Feb 2026 19:36:56
Good one, Ed. Love it! Hope you're well.
{Ed025's Note - yeah good thanks mate..hows you?..
01 Feb 2026 19:57:53
I'm good thanks, Ed025, mate. Was there last night. Best atmosphere of season, along with Real Madrid.
I'm in a minority, but I can't get wound up regards to us not getting this and that player. For gawd sake, we are Premier League Champions, last 16 of CL and the 5th richest side in football. All my mates are West Brom season ticket holders. On our WhatsApp group, jeez, now they have got something to moan about. Heading for the 1st division.
I'll be there on Sunday, cherishing every minute. I ask folk to put things into perspective. But, like I say, I'm an old man who's in the minority.
{Ed025's Note - you were very good yesterday Rome after a bit of a shaky start, you still have a very good squad for me mate but you have to be more dynamic, more of what we seen yesterday could still get you 2nd imo mate..
01 Feb 2026 20:01:28
Hughes will need a Right guard, after this fiasco Rome.
{Ed025's Note - nice Strom..
01 Feb 2026 20:18:45
Good one, Strom. I like it!
01 Feb 2026 20:39:53
So much for Hughes' silver tongue. Maybe it's just silver plate then.
01 Feb 2026 21:41:58
Not so sure he needs a right-guard, Hughes sounds like a Brut to me.
{Ed025's Note - top stuff StEA..
01 Feb 2026 23:05:53
Hopefully the STC will get more Lynx to players.
{Ed025's Note - bravo Worzal..
02 Feb 2026 00:51:41
1. How do we know they left this to the last minute?
2. By all accounts, the fact that he is already on loan seems to make this one both complicated and expensive, so "missing" for now may not be the worst thing.

Would anyone sign on a short term contract, leave your home, live in a hotel when you know the manager is off at end of season then you're left in the ****. no way would i have gone to Liverpool either. YNWA.
