Zero

but we need what? 3-4 years? Before Dibling become a better player? I would prefer to go for Mbeumo and challenge the title next season, rather than waiting for a few years later when our purple patches might have been gone by that time

Garcia over Trafford for me. I admit I didn’t see Garcia much but surely the best GK in La Liga this season for just 30m is just too good to miss out

And Dibling genuinely doesn’t look as talented as those you mentioned.

It’s quite clear that he simply can’t / doesn’t want to stay in the club without Eales.

40m for Guehi is fine imo, even if just one year left. However anything above 50m would be insane.

Yea I think clubs are basically treating Etikite as the second coming of Isak.

In theory, the DOF should stay for a long time and thus the transfer made by DOF should be for the long term squad building, instead of short term benefit which would benefit the manager more than the club. It’s kinda risk-hedging practice. however given our status this might not be applicable. Put it simple, I don’t think we can find a better manager than Howe, so the risk of losing Howe outweighs the impact of making bad transfers

My take is it kinda proves that Eales and Mitchell have had a plan to kick Howe out - and failed.

Ha. Hahaha. What a waste of time. oh yea, thanks for the Kelly deal. That’s all, fuck all.

If you dare to say your predecessor done a shit job, then obviously you should be able to do a better one eh? And what happened last summer? All those quotes? Leaving Eddie just two centre back available for selection? Even Krafth was out at that time FFS. We are just fucking lucky because Eddie done a blinder. You can just go back to read the post last August / September and see what’s the consensus here.

We sold Anderson and Minteh before end of June to meet the requirement. Subsequently Staveley left the management and Mitchell arrived, started the Guehi fiasco, and publicly stated that our previous transfers were not fit for purpose around end of August. You guys forgot Eddies interview after the transfer deadline already?

Forgot the whole Guehi fiasco?

Not sure if Eddie got the power to make decisions on squad building and/or contract extension.

correct, it’s mental strength problem, not attitude. People got this mixed up.

He said our past transfers are “not fit for purpose”. Then basically Howe won a cup the first time in 70 years and go back to ECL without any reinforcement for 3 windows. Genuine question, how can the fans not expecting Mitch to deliver this window? He totally deserved this.
