We’ve made it lads

My local club Airdrie went out of business in the early 2000s it absolutely crushed my dad. They came back and are thriving. Feel for the Bordeaux fans and hope their club can bounce back

We’ve signed 4 players and will probably sign at max 3 more. Theres plenty of time to get 3 signings thru the door. If this was Ashley days I’d be concerned but it’ll happen in the next week or two I’m sure of it

I feel the same. Jan aside when we couldn’t bring any one, the transfer windows under PIF have worked out well. We are very slow that’s nothing new. Last week I posted the dates of Isak, Barnes, Tino & Hall and they were all signed in August apart from Barnes who was late July. We’ve signed 4 players and sold two it’s not like nothing at all has happened

We will sign players when we can. Theres no panic.

Really is a ludicrous amount of assumption & guesswork passed off as fact. Impossible to form a solid opinion when even half of that might not be true

That’s a hell of a lot of guesswork.

Exactly this. It’s like Everton trying to put a buy back clause for Gordon there’s not a chance we’d have done that deal

But that’s just your opinion. I’d say you are in the minority. So can you see if we sold Joelinton and kept minteh you would be happy yet many would criticise the club for selling a first team player

confirmed

so you think a better idea would have been to sell Joelinton?

He was still our player. Fuckin hell people are still going on about Bobby Clark going to Liverpool but no one can talk about ‘losing’ minteh I understand we lost him for free and the differences but point still stands it stings losing a player and seeing them do well. Seeing Toney score still stings me

Dunno who the reports in Spain and Italy are from so pinch of salt

Yeah time will tell of course but I’m not sure I’d be absolutely buzzing with any of them. Tbh I hadn’t even heard of 3 of them so may be totally wrong. It does seem to be quantity over quality

I find it odd to criticise when we have no real idea of any of the conversations that took place. By all accounts minteh didn’t want to go to France. you also contradict yourself by praising Villa then saying they got a bad fee for Luiz if we sold Joelinton for example for that fee you’d be the first to criticise the club.

Which goes back to my original point We were desperate for the cash because we’ve no saleable assets no one wanted Almiron, longstaff or Wilson by that date

Exactly. Insert a buy back and you are gonna have to accept a lower fee.

Get the feeling things are starting to move now

It was Brighton’s record transfer fee they likely aren’t breaking their transfer record and inserting a buy back clause. We are the ones that needed the money. Remember there was a day left before a points deduction we were in no position to be insisting they put in a buy back clause on their record transfer and if you were Brighton there’s no chance you would

No one over the age of 17 should be buying that cap

They have sellable assets we don’t

Umbro really do do a classic simple but great design
