Just don't understand what the club is playing at. Cooper “some of the names haven’t even been mentioned yet”…. I think that suggests that some of the players were looking at haven’t even made the media yet. 1

Disappointing not to have players here sooner for sure, but as long we get what we need then we may be ok.

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 2 August 2024 Posted 2 August 2024 Has one player ever come true on here, possibly bar Daka?

Groby_Blue Posted 2 August 2024 Posted 2 August 2024 Maybe the players that we want to sign are waiting to see if more established PL teams come in for them. We show our hand, the player looks and goes, hmmmmmm, it's a PL side but one that's likely to struggle this season. I'll wait and see if a West Ham or Fulham or Palace show any interest. Chances are, if none of our targets get better interest from elsewhere, we'll see a fair bit of business towards the end of the window. And I'm not sure filling the squad out with loan singings is the answer either. If we have a poor season and we're struggling for most of it, as many of us suspect we're going to, how bothered are these players going to be if they know they're going back to their parent clubs. They're aren't many Kevin Campbell's out there, sadly.

I think it's his way of fielding interview questions without having to criticise the club. I just don't understand why we don't get our business done quickly. With a new manager and division, IMO we need as much time as possible to prepare with the final squad. Edited 2 August 2024 by trooky

EnderbyFox Posted 2 August 2024 Posted 2 August 2024 People moaning about us not signing an attacking midfielder are forgetting about the return of big Bouba Soumare. You’re gonna have very eggy faces when he turns in a season that makes prime Ozil look like Richie Wellens 4
Pliskin Posted 2 August 2024 Posted 2 August 2024 We’ve ****ed it by not going for Marcos Leonardo. John, if you’re reading this, fly to Brazil with a blank cheque book, and sign this kid, stop pissing around and start getting some proper business done. 1
JimJams Posted 2 August 2024 Posted 2 August 2024 Given the amounts Chelsea are throwing at any Brazilian yoot, we probably can't afford him!
KFS Posted 2 August 2024 Posted 2 August 2024 There’s something wrong again isn’t there. To not even hear of any names at this point… Cant believe I thought it would be any different

Lambert09 Posted 2 August 2024 Posted 2 August 2024 (edited) as terrible as our recruitment links have been i think the pure lack of any links to any of the players we need to flog speaks volumes. Their agents can’t even be arsed to pretend someone’s after them. We only have the ability to sell something we don’t want to… which is exactly how a bad club operates. I’ve never known a club so bad at getting rid of unneeded players and it’s been a problem for about 8 years now Even dross like everton seem to be able to get people out the door Edited 2 August 2024 by Lambert09
Dahnsouff Posted 3 August 2024 Posted 3 August 2024 I would like a less weird transfer window. Even if we do not plan to play with a10, we need more creativity as expecting the current wingers to be ‘it’ is surely doomed. Almost makes me think we are having a ‘take the money’ and run season before accepting relegation.

Right you are, perfectly reasonable when you frame it that way I just don’t think there is a direction either way. If the plan was to take the money, you’d be looking for future proofing for the Championship again. For example, why not go for Ronnie Edwards for whatever Southampton paid, £5mill? Rather than spending over double on Okolie if we are trying to spend less. Plenty of exciting young players in the EFL but we don’t seem to want to look at them. Obviously the same goes for overseas leagues but let’s not expect too much of our powers that be!
