Eddie's comments after Everton about us needing to move quickly have definitely set everyone's expectations that we'd have done something by now. Trafford seems to be almost done, if we can then move along one of the others by mid-July we're probably about on target with time left to work on the other 2-3. It's definitely frustrating and the constant re-hash articles from know-nowt journalists serve only to wind people up, but we've just got to trust and hope that once we get into July and a fresh PSR window, the market starts to move a bit quicker.

Everything has a positive and a negative use. Just got to extenuate the positive

Just hope we sign someone soon, this place is turning into Lord of the Flies

You sound hurt and uptight. I’ve not even criticised the club for this transfer! For this particular situation there’s nothing they could do. You are unable to hold even the slightest nuance in a view. You’re upset and angry that other fans are concerned. Youve got the right hump at me because I’ve said ‘hey man, I can see why they might be concerned’. If it’s not blind praise everything is going great and everything is perfect and to plan - you get upset.

The Internet is a wondrous thing, but it's also a dreadfully depressing thing.

Leaving Everton because he wants to play in the CL. Sounds ominous....

In the region of £130m

I know, but this is a forum, with opinions and discussion 😂 I just mean I'd be really keen to have him, I genuinely don't know any other players like him, as I don't follow other leagues closely, and think he ticks so many boxes. I'd be more gutted with Pedro going to Chelsea, then Mbuemo going to Man U, as I feel there are other options at RW that improve us, where as the the CM/AM/ST is more complicated I think he would at times Get a faster CB, Pope/Trafford sweeper keeper, push the defensive line higher up, Bruno plays a bit closer to Tonali, the space in midfield is reduced, and I think Pedro would do a job as LCM

We've likely dozens of targets in every position. If Huijsen was a dream signing, we'd have quickly moved on when Madrid called. You can either love the ambition or can be critical of them for missing out on targets.

Especially at £500k a week, we can definitely only afford one

Who said we have 4 targets like?

We are already in the alternative targets tbh. We've missed out Mbuemo, Delap, Huijsen already. We are hunting in very crowded waters, it's very difficult.

Waffle. You spend all day every day criticising the club you support, regardless of facts, and when someone asks you to give an alternative solution, you say "not my job". You've whinged every day since the takeover and we've had incredible success. You whinged about Howes tactics and were wrong, you've whinged about the clubs signings and are were wrong, you've whinged about PIF and are wrong. Clearly we dont agree... pal.

The precedent to hack PSR is there.

Just fuck off

If we know anything about Eddie Howe it’s that he’s one prepared son of a gun. I find it very hard to believe he’s prepared a list of four targets with no alternatives.

WUM?

He’ll be a useful signing for someone; so long as goes as 2nd or 3rd choice. If Chelsea don’t fancy him might stand a chance.

We are fans. Fans sometimes criticise the club they support. The people running the club and all the employees are aware of that. Fans are significant stakeholders of a club. We are not the non factors you seem to suggest we are to the club.

I would have thought Howe is in full charge of who we go after this summer, I’m not sure who else it could be right now.

Certainly not with the players they've got. Look at their line-ups for last season - they aren't PL quality, and team spirit will only take you so far

Well I think if it wasn’t for PSR we would be much more attractive now for players. We would find it way easier to get deals done imo. Both fees and wages would be much easier to overpay a bit more. I even think we were a slightly more attractive option before this PSR debacle truly hit in in the last few windows. Despite us being a better team now. Money talks unfortunately.

Doubt the mackems could afford his wages

It's also not our job to criticise the club because of bullshit theories and opinions but its happening all the time.

Even without PSR, with Chelsea at the table he'd have waited for them because even without PSR we want to be a club that run correctly, that means have a sensible wage structure. If you really want to criticise the club, ask why they are pursuing someone who has been hinting at wanting a move to London. That would be a more fair arguement in my mind... but we dont know what hes said to us in private.
