I feel like the new owner wants to get the reputation of being able to spending money wisely.

He is exactly the buffer we needed. He can fill in the gap for Wilson these few months and is a decent back up striker in the coming seasons. Great singing imo

So you guys do think that we are doing fine this window and it’s acceptable and reasonable that we can only bring in Trippier, hoping for an unproven striker to save our ass. Fine. I will pray for the club then.

Then sign someone else, even some who is better than Clark would do it. buffer man, we need buffer.

Then tell me why could Watford bring in a few bodies already?

If you are using game theory then tell me what should you do if you know the most likely outcome is both sides dragged to the final day and we are either going to relegate with a shit squad, or paying ridiculous fees? or how about find other sellers earlier and let them know we have choices and it’s all or nothing for them?

Lille keep on adjusting the price base on our transfer news every day. Just like someone said if we already get Carlos, who give a shit for Botman? If I am Lille I will try to sell Botman to Newcastle “when his value is the highest in Newcastle’s shoes”. That’s why we fucking need to secure some before the window opens. That’s the buffer man...every one know we don’t now.

you genuinely think we should field out this team against Watford before the window opens?

It makes the matter worse and worse man. The later you make the bid the higher the cost it would be. Before Jan if you throw 40m to Lille I guarantee you Botman would be here already. Now they are waiting for 50m, or even 60m at 31 Jan. I ain’t asking several class or marquee signings but at least some bodies that are capable to do a short-term job, cover several key areas etc so that we aren’t in such a bad shape aka now. This is not about poker. This is simply project management. We have absolutely no buffer now.

I said we need to secure a few signings before the window opens or else we would be in trouble. And some people asking where’s my diapers. See? Every team are holding us ransom now. That’s the consequence.

That’s pretty much my opinion as well. I prefer Carlos over Botman. Won’t mind to have both though.

They need time to adapt to the team and tactics FFS. I did expect us to sign some players before the window is open. You can’t just throw them on the pitch and expect them to fit in well, especially if they are from other countries and may not speak English. The counterparties also have incentives to drag on till the end of the window in order to squeeze more money from us. If we can’t finalise the deals in early Jan, very likely they will arrive in Feb, and even if they are fucking brilliant they still need at least a month to fit in. That’s already Mar. panic mode?

We gotta sign some ASAP. Time is running out.

I won’t be surprised if we are the one that guarantee him 40m a year hence he is asking for the same from Barca

Must be complete bullshit

He thinks he has a chance or he deserves a chance to prove himself to Langnick these few months.

That would be awesome. Get Tagliafico as well and we should be fine.

You may agree or disagree but IMO these kinda situations a CB would never be able to fully catch up the ST since the ST always have the priority to make the choice, thus instead of blaming the CB for not guessing it right, I believe those who ain’t able to back to their positions should be blamed instead

That’s not his fault. Shelvey should cover up that space instead.

I think it’s quite obvious since day 1 that he has the best game reading ability in our team.

Utter disgrace?

I doubt the rumours are reliable. They looks like media speculation more than leaks.

Short memories. No fucking way Dub are worst than those mentioned above. You must be forgetting the criticism they got here back in the days.

To be fair if we can get any points in December it has to be this game.

Not a bad appointment IMO.
