Need to remember that even if someone in the press does have real info it is almost certainly delayed. Also, unless we're as incompetent as some on here want to believe, we are capable of multi-tasking. We aren't working on one thing at a time. Things are happening behind the scenes very differently than what we get to see.

the disconnect is the perfectly placed roadblock as I've intimated a number of timed

It's a negative story, it's got to be true!

Right? People are wild on here.

Howe is part of the recruitment team, has been since he became manager.

Well the recruitment team is him, Nickson and his Brother so I'd hope not

We are believing that we just realised we can buy players from abroad?

How long do they take to be delivered? I can't find no info anywhere. Just an email saying they will let me know when it's been sent.

Yeah, this is just Liam Kennedy putting a story out there for the sake of it. We're a Champions League club. We're aware that football is played in other countries.

This is what I mean by a disconnect between Howe and the recruitment team. There might not be one, but you can easily imagine there might be.

liking the massive trefoil on the back of Sandros top

Wingstop though, decent points for that

I just can't buy anything like this, surely to God we knew this 2 months/years/decades ago?

Forest not fast enough ?

Even if we were, we can't match Chelsea for wages. Even given we could match the wages, we have been told the player wanted to go to Chelsea. This is what is being reported, not that we couldn't afford the £55m+5m.

And if you want to be pedantic you could actually say we ‘signed’ Hall 1 year ago, at least from a financial perspective.

Fofana (Lyon) to Lyon. (For now)

Don't let facts interfere with the narrative!

Yeah- thought it may have been something on social media that I had missed

2031? it's constant moaning on here 24/7!

Based on what out of interest? No nothing about either.

Our biggest issue is we can't compete on wages, which is magnified when dealing with established PL players and players wanted by the big six. It's entirely possible we have all sorts of things going on with European based players and there's plenty of time. If it turns out our shopping list was almost exclusively PL targets I'll be disappointed for the simple fact that it's strategically flawed.

We probably have, aye.

I see this stuff alot and I'm sure it's a simple slip and you meant 3 windows and not 3 years but i have seen it so often that it shows how easy things can start getting repeated as fact. 2 years ago we signed Tonali, Barnes, Tino, Hall and Minteh. 3 years ago we signed Isak, Botman, Pope and made Targett permanent. So not fuck all and a large reason why we had to slow down and try and balance books the following windows.
