Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 26 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 26 July 2019 That post is fair but the problem is at the same time that a club like us, accepting a status quo, will only harm us as well. We've got to make tough decisions at times to progress and we can't please everyone. I maintain the longer you invest well and negotiate ruthlessly, the better you will become as a team and eventually as a club. We are becoming a good example of this. We could be even better in a year's time. The more we hold onto talented players, the more attractive we become ourselves. Tottenham are an excellent example. They are a very well run club. Regardless of what you think about them - they have no business challenging for what they do and being an almost accepted Champions League qualifier with their budget and wage bill, and yet they do it year in, year out. Their problem is that they just can't see anything through - but that isn't a structural problem at Tottenham in my eyes, it's a mentality of their players (and arguably manager) problem. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know they're talking rubbish and will do exactly the same in future windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was a bit slow there) I can't wait to see how ridiculous it will look when the torches come out over that account. It's so odd how people let themselves get worked up by the GVOTF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 Yeah we're a stepping stone towards a bigger club, just like most teams in the world. But we're also the best club that many players will ever play for. We're also a club, at this point in our history, that most professionals would love to play for. Also, let's not forget that if a club is to sell a player they don't want to sell, and don't have to sell, the premium will always be at the top of end of the spectrum for that partucular level. If a club with the resources of Man Utd don't want to pay the price that's been set, does that not tell the player that perhaps Man Utd don't want him as much as they say they do?

Legend_in_blue Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 How do we know it's 90 million? Who has confirmed this? How do we know it's not 90.2 million? It's a load of garbage. If they offer 90 million, we still won't take it. I'd tell them thanks for the offer, we'll get back to you. Keep 'em stewing. 10 minutes of the window remaining tell them it's a no. Clear off.

Makes sense really, the closer we get to the deadline the more pressure it puts on to the club especially if we are after a replacement, need to make the more pressure it puts on us the later it goes on is worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleronnie Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 One of the richest clubs in the world can't fork out 90m for a player their manager desperately wants. weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzell Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 I really hope the club have upped it to £90m. Proper taking the piss out of Utd They do deserve it though. It’s their own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC/FC Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 So just had a bit of a thought. Considering Jose Mourinho; Multiple Top League, Domestic Cup, and 2 times Champions League winner, could not get Woodward to sign a disused dirty napkin... What are the odds that former Malde and Swansea manager can actually push through a 90 million pound signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 We do all realise that, one day, we are going to need a favour off Man Utd? I agree we can't just roll.over and show our tummies....but it's not good business practice to rub their nose in it either and start moving goalposts Unfortunately pragmatism is better than principle sometimes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just using the same tactics that they seem to have no problem in using themselves with the likes of Pogba and Lukaku. If they can't handle that other teams can also hold them to ransom for a prize asset, then maybe they need to come back down to reality. And we did them a favour, we gave their academy boys a Premier League medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
