2024/25 Kevin Thelwell

I love it when people say this about Thelwell…

All good signings? then why are we still absolutely garbage eh.

We've been managed by dipshits for the last 3 years in all fairness

His loan signings have been beyond garbage. Best 2 he's had so far is Mangala and Coady who played a lot the season he was here so I'd say that was a useful loan

We've had

Vinagre - garbage
Harrison - garbage
Danjuma - obvious manager didn't want him and garbage
Broja - injured
Lindstrom - jury still out until he has a consistent run under Moyes

I've probably missed out more as well, signing wise the jury is out on Chermiti, Beto we can all see what he is, Mcneil I'd hope we might recoup what we paid for him, Garner has missed 23 games in 3 seasons which is a lot. Onana we turned a profit on but we paid a heck of a lot of money on him when the priority should have been on a quality front man.

Glad that O'Brien is starting to get minutes, but again that now definitely looks like a signing that the manager didn't want and dug his heels in by not playing him.

Pity we never had fit players in key positions then one keeper on the bench h is adequate IMO..

Not debating that mate but if one of your keepers gets injured you’re down to two, as opposed to having one keeper.

Imagine Pickford got injured whilst Virginia was as well? U21 keeper or 18s? No thanks.

Not sure just how much he’s actually involved this window but it’s certainly changing my perception of him. To have the entire month and wait until there’s a week of the window left is looking pretty negligent right now.

…he left us 7 games into a season with no striker when he first came and then bought Maupay. Needless to say we struggled for a central striker all season with DCL injured lots.

Thelwell prob still on hold to Leeds for Gnonto the gimp

might be checking his phone every five minutes wondering why Burnley haven't got back to him about the availability of Maxwell Cornetto.......

Marcel Brands was infinitely worse as a DOF than Thelwell

Axolotl money to spend

Marcel Brands was infinitely worse as a DOF than Thelwell

And Steve Walsh was infinitely worse than him, yet neither get constant weird abuse about their appearance on here. I know I’m being soft cus it’s banter but does my head in that

That being said, if he can’t bring in a couple this window I’d probably move on from him in the summer. It’s been obvious since September what positions we desperately needed bodies in for

It's been at least ten minutes since you mentioned this

He then realised Maupay was a fraud, and has got rid of him for actual money in the summer whilst plucking Ndiaye from them, what a superb swap by Big Kev.

As far as strikers are concerned Thelwell is and has been doing a very poor job for us. Beto, £25 million,Chermiti £20+ million Kneel Noplay £12million, With DLC injured and Chermiti, if Thelwell dosn't bring in a goal scorer that could send us down.
