I mean, they won’t sell him at 26 but at 30 they will, so doesn’t seem deed.

The people who auto-believe anything negative have been proven right so far.

I was going to say, I think we're on about plan E now.

Sounds like a come-buy-him plea to me. Manager likes him but we'll take £30m+.

Is he good?

That would be strange if true since we've gone from strength to strength in the league and qualified for the CL again. Would be surprised if new signings are annoyed by the training ground announcement. Would be surprised if they even know about it.

I think Gordon is starting the first game up front no matter what happens now. Maybe Wissa since he's experienced in the PL, but otherwise Gordon.

Did Eddie choose all the targets when we signed Isak, Tonali, Bruno, Botman etc?

You don’t want Poch and you don’t want an all-powerful manager either. You want a structure with top professionals in specialist jobs who work together to get the right players in. I think that’s what we thought we were assembling before everyone quit.

It’s more like midnight than 3am in the club analogy.

Well we know we don’t want this setup, the CEO and DOF have both resigned and will be replacement. I don’t get the point of assessing our current setup since it’s obviously the result of successive errors or unfortunate circumstances. We never planned for this and we don’t think it’s good, it’s just what we have to work with right now.

I really can’t see a situation where we sell him without a replacement. Would be basically be writing off a season as well as potentially tens of millions of prize money.

Yeah, I don't think I’ve ever known a window where the top few clubs have gone so crazy with money. Guess that’s what PSR is intended to allow.

Not sure we’re even in for Guehi or Thiaw are we? Wissa we agreed a deal but they won’t let him go. Trafford Man City had a clause. It’s a crap window but we’ve been failing since early on.

Ramos just seems like a random name picked out of nowhere by the press.

Not sure we’ve been procrastinating, have we? We’ve just been failing. Feels like Joao Pedro was quite early in the window.

FFS, we don’t know he demanded control, can we fuck that off?

We’ll forget he existed in a couple of months.

I think that’ll probably happen anyway now, we won’t have time to properly integrate a new striker. Guess if he’s experienced like Wissa there might be a chance.

They already resigned I think, that’s the problem.

I like how we only update thread titles with bad news

Question is can those players take you from 5th to 1-3? And also, have the prices of those players gone up so much that they're not bargains anymore. Clear something has been misjudged with our plans and we need a rethink of some kind. Let's hope the new executive appointments will sort things out.

I want players that improve us TBF, seems a good idea.

It really is strange like, I can only put it down to the backroom chaos and an overestimation of how attractive to players we would be. TBH I thought the same, I thought players would be desperate to come here. I guess they might be, just not it Liverpool or Chelsea want them. Fair to say we probably didn't expect all of our rivals to go on insane spending sprees at the same time.

Doesn't matter what he tells us formally or informally really, he's going to have to stay unless we can sign one elite and one backup striker. Which doesn't look possible at this stage.
