I don't care about the money. Hope he feels it's a new chapter and challenge. Fights tooth and nails and plays well and brings other players into play and scores a goal here and there.

Even though not many wanted him. I'm sure most can see that he can offer us something at least, compared to what we have..

I'm obviously hoping that he does well and helps us staying up. Definitely not writing him off. Will do a job, and hopefully that is enough.

If he scores the winning goal against Watford he's worth it. Need another in. Other priorities though. Or..

He might do well. Think he'll do better than expected, which is not alot. Still underwhelmed.

Clause then..

Alot of them aren't though. Or they're not interested.

This. Like going to Sahara without water.

We can spend much more than 200m.but we won't, and rightly so.

We will be quoted way above what players are worth I feel, sadly enough. Either we accept it or we don't sign any players at all. Seems difficult to get something in between done. Or we just suck at it. Probably a combo is my guess.

Would someone like Darwin Nunez 100% turn us down? Probably agent/media driven agenda but it seems like they want at least £50m for him. Say we would get him for 60m, it's a ridiculous amount of money, but at least he's likely to be a future superstar. Can never know for sure.

Going well

Preparing a bid, sounds promising.

I'm sure we could have asked him earlier than mid January (joking i think)

Maybe, but it's a massive risk. Lose against them and it will be next to impossible to get proper quality in.

Idiot

Wish i knew what our plan is. They've worked tirelessly, preparing for all of december for this window they've said. Considering how it doesn't seem possible to start negotiating before the 1st of january (what people on here say) i wonder what exactly we've been preparing (genuine thoughts). We seem to have had a plan that just hasn't worked out for whatever reasons, or the wrong people trying to close deals, i dont know. End result is that we've wasted too much time as it doesn't look like we'll have whats needed for the Watford game. Especially when it would have been nice for potential new signings to meet their team mates before the game at least. I know it isn't FM, which imo is a lazy thing to say. Before the window everyone was like we have to get the players in as early as possible so that we have enough in before the Watford game. People have a reason for concern, it doesn't neccesarily mean total meltdown. Have we aimed too high? If so why didn't we move on to other targets earlier. Are we doing many deals at the same time? Doesn't sound like we are having many deals at an advanced stage right now. Having said the above, there's still hope, there might be tons of stuff going on, deals being close, happening today or tomorrow. I'm not pointing fingers too much as i can only base these thoughts on from what i/us can see from the outside. Might be totally wrong look from the outside. Time will tell in the next day or two. Random thoughts shared pretty much. Good that many aren't concerned at all, i wish i felt the same.

Well it's not been a good job so far by the looks of it right now. Hopefully that changes in the next couple of days....

We'll miss it even more by each day now...

Lose against Watford and we're 5p behind them with one more game played. Good luck us getting quality players in after that to try and catch them.. (if)

Reims being cunts, changing the price time after time..

Bairn is one week old ffs.

Positive talks = rejected these days.

This is true. But could he earn more money if he stays in France for longer and develops further before he moves?

I think he'd be daft to move clubs now.
