I don't know anything about the history but I would have assumed it was the 'uniting' that is the foundation of the current incarnation of the club.

We'll get some and we won't get some. I just hope we are learning what is actually required to land the players you want, and factoring that into our strategy. Also less important if all 5 or 6 of our list are acceptable, which I'm sure they are. Less of a blow if you don't get first choice. Overall it doesn't matter to me too much, since we're moving in the right direction. I would just like to see a confident swoop and successful signing of another big target or two.

Not when we wanted him originally. We had to go back in the following window.

I don't really know TBH. We also failed to get quite a few people IIRC, hence having to go for Burn and Targett instead of Carlos, Botman et al. I'm not criticising really, it's normal to miss out on people. I'm just saying time will run out at some point and there's not a lot left.

Nah I don’t, just all these new names popping up.

"It's a nice problem to have"

I think there's a decent chance we'll fail to get our targets now. If every deal gets this slow and complicated there has to be a chance that we'll run out of time at some point. Making first contact with a target with a week to go is one of the more risky ways to run the window.

Think they’re trying to price themselves into being thought of as a premium or quality brand. Sadly their design is average and their service is pants. Looking forward to getting rid of them.

Maybe we did, says he turned down 2 PL options.

I like the cut of your jib.

Do we really need £20m though? I’d rather just keep him in the squad.

I don’t think selling any first team players is really on the cards. Would be very surprised.

Or loan for that matter.

Nice because no sponsor. But price too high. Would not buy.

Sure, but their stock has risen because they got better, which presumably makes them more useful to us.

Depends if you believe the improvement is sustainable because he’s now being selected and coached properly.

We really are debating some stupid shit today.

Would be nice to have an automatic Edwards-hider which just covers his tweets. Or, you know, people could not post his shit.

Nobody seems sure if the bids have been accepted? I mean, Watford and Newcastle must know.

That performance was of a ridiculous level, it really was world class.

Wot.

I'd like to try and get through to the next round like.

Interesting whether Wilson being out now or out later really makes that much difference to the plan. If the theory is that he will miss 30-40% of the games, so we need someone to be able to step in, it might not matter whether they step in now or later.

And the premium for taking a brilliant player away from his club at the 11th hour. Think we just have to stick with the strategy now, and hope Wilson doesn't miss too much.

If you've picked your squad right you should really always have some points on the bench. Think I've left 20 points on the bench every week so far. Especially at the start of the season, everyone in your squad should really be starting every game.
