Devil 1,179 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 What a complete shambles, we need at least two midfielders this window. If we are wasting our time then move on to the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you having as much success as we are with transfers... well at least for now For us I would always worry that if the first choice targets don't get over the line and you have to keep dropping down an option to 2nd choice or even 3rd choice players then you are just getting by with what you could get rather than what you need so it's more a case of shoring up rather than building up... A lot of our players failed to live up to expectations and it's often felt that some are just a level below where they need to be in a side that wants to challenge for titles/cups etc so going for second or third choice signings is just doing more of the same in my opinion, you are not gaining anything just maintaining what you have so as a result could expect more of the same each season with the odd bright moments of promise in the early stages followed by a slump when it matters at the end.. The other issue I have with it is that these second/third choice players would be signing on for anywhere between 4 and 5 years and if they don't improve the side you are stuck with them or end having to do a Lukaku and take a huge hit on them moving on.. Every now and then you can get a surprise gem out of someone but it's rare to have 90% of the club signings to all have a good first season..

Putting pressure on players and agents whilst creating this sort of condescending mannerism in the market because they know they will get what they want now. Can't wait until this shit falls flat on their face again. Such short term thinking with this TV revenue deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's have it right City and Liverpool are picking off the cream at this time, the rest of us are grabbing at second tier standard players. I don't see how we get out of it unless we unearth another Sir Alex in Ten Hag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,265 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I would absolutely love it if DeJong tells Barcelona to fuck off, and the Kounde, Raphinha, & Lewandowski deals fall through. De Jong already rejected a wage decrease too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,265 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Shitehouse Romero now saying we are apparently interested. Let me guess, Barcelona are using Romero to fabricate a story about our interest in order to put pressure on Man United buying De Jong, as Barca's Raphinha and Lewandowski's deals are entirely dependent on Barcelona getting De Jong off of the wage bill?
