Oh ffs. Pedro is not a striker, so yea, dont think I am clueless. We have been linked with DCL in the past. Howe sees something in him. But maybe you know better than Eddie.

DCL is not worse than current Wilson who offers nothing.

Pedro will need to elbow his way past Jackson to get into the team. Won't be easy, they are both good at that (Sorry if just got in from a day of driving back from the Pacific coast)

Staying on the right side of PSR is, sadly, good business.

What even happened?

Despite their size, I think they are in a bit of trouble with all of this now. Their has been mostly fucking dreadful - they can’t keep that going forever

Maguire has a point, of course - you do actually have to be a good seller as well as a good buyer. Chelsea and Man City’s sales have mostly come from spunking fortunes on as many good young players as possible and flipping them for profit - and PSR loves that approach. Other than Minteh, we’ve not been good at selling players (including older ones at ‘peak value’). You don’t get to where our owners claim they want to get to by buying players who you intend to keep forever - you buy them with an eye on a sale later.

Its not like its a great skill or something anybody can deploy. Its a result of being allowed generations of massive investment as the 2nd club there backs up. Seems like a solid financial plan. Allow massive investment for a few years that allow a club to create new revenue streams to expand their horizons and live within their means. Rather than something to forbid at all cost.

If those are the ONLY two then that's an truly awful window. If they are two of five then it's decent.

Did the new league year start officially?

DCL is shite. I would rather Osula plays more often.

The mishandling happened the season before. The fact we missed out on Europe enabled the cup run and higher league placing last season. This season it's back down to mid table unless the squad is bolstered....with the caliber of players such as Minteh and Anderson. Are you trying to say buying a third rate Greek goalkeeper and losing two prospects was good business?

Says the guy complaining bitterly about "disastrous mishandling" right after a season in which we won a trophy, qualified for the CL and are in the best shape we've been for decades.

I always thought that this was Staveley’s greatest strength - negotiation of transfers. Shouldn’t be a surprise tbf - deal-making is her role!

A month of diddly squat happening. Count me worried.

We're gonna get our dicks ripped off in the World Cup.

I just hope that we'll eventually have a squad full of top shaggers, it's all that matters

Fucking hell man.

I would hope DCL would be someone who could step in for himself, at the very least.

You can look yourself, if you think I'm going to list numerous players just for your satisfaction, then you're kidding yourself. The fact that you can seriously advocate DCL as a player capable of being a step in for Isak shows me you're just clueless. Also that you keep going on about priority positions, ignoring the fact we have just made a 50 million bid for Pedro, shows again that you're clueless. Now jog on and order your DCL pin up for your wall.

DCL is worse than Wilson. I’ve never seen the former play well and his stats speak for themselves. I’d pick Osula over DCL any day.

If we loan Miley out we need 2 midfielders. But i agree the RW should be someone who can play up top. Mbeumo would have been a lot better than Pedro bc of this. Our squad is way too thin for UCL games. We will have a drop again in results if we dont bring number of bodies in.

And the fact that you are giving no examples of what these ”quality players” are that we should be after, tells me enough about your knowledge. I dont think DCL is any worse than Wilson, who was offered a new deal and played a part last season. I take you more seriously when you tell me who should we look for

You gotta be fucking SHITTING me.
