100% It's a problem for sure. I guess we just have to buy less of them but at inflated prices. Not sure what else we can do about it.

I thought this window would be us pushing our team to the next level with recruitment. But going off the links we're seeing (what else can we go on?) it seems more solidifying the level we are already reaching on occasion. It's still progress. Slower yeah, but safer. We can't afford the elites, we won't risk the unknowns and so we're left with shopping the pool of good players from the Prem, that clubs are reluctant/don't need to sell. Obviously this is just how I see it. No one knows.

Really need to keep him at all costs. I’d ship a bunch of purples before him.

And your prediction is just as tedious too. Think we’ve all been on this forum too long.

I didn’t say it wasn’t. I just wish people didn’t piss the bed, at people pissing the bed. I understand that I am now pissing the bed about those people pissing the bed, over people pissing the bed.

PTSD mate.

Past 15 years of windows, bar a few, have been absolutely wank. Can't blame anyone for being worried about it. 'U cAN OnlY JuDgE AFTA ThE WINDO is ClosED'

Can’t see anyone else in world football looking to buy Pedro at the quoted price. So I’m sure we will get him.

All good. We can offer Palace 60m in 18months.

Trump edit: didn’t get to the end of your comment before answering haha. Yes, agreed. trump.

70m for a player we thought would nail down the position for us and England for the next ten years? Fuck off.

I'm too much of a tight arse IRL. Won't buy anything on credit. I love sleeping soundly.

Personally not a fan of kicking issues down the road by overspending now, but if thats what the club decides to do then so be it. They'll live and die by the sword. Appreciate all your explanations TCD and NUFC123.

I guess so. Might be 300m.

Sounds fair. How would you raise the CB funds?

If we end up signing Pedro and Elanga for around 120m - how do we then buy a RCB, GK and CM cover? Genuine question. I guess we can fuck off the GK and continue with Pope. Sell Gordon to fund a RCB and CM cover? You'd also have to buy a Gordon replacement.

That and he’s probably third down on the RW list? After mmmbeumo and pedro. if I had to criticise the club, it would be not having a clue how much wages our list of transfer targets were wanting, and the transfer fees required to buy them from their current clubs. Obviously we don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes and can only go off press rumours, but we’re rapidly going down our list if what we’re hearing is correct.

At this point I’m hoping we get knocked back enough with valuations that we’re forced to look at other leagues. In before the ‘how do you know we’re not already?’ ‘It’s too early in the window. Chill the fuck out’ etc etc.

Wilson should have been sold last year, never mind let go now, and even more bizarre to give him another year. Surely he goes and secures a two year contract with another team. Very interested to see what our transfer plans and policy is, cause at the moment I haven’t got the foggiest.

… it was in response to a theory that someone said on here… just like you, I don’t know anything.

I do love the ‘he’ll get plenty games next season’ klaxxon for any of our fringe players. Cutscene to us playing the same starting 11 in all competitions until the wheels come off. Only half joking.

It's the wrong time to sell Gordon I reckon. Unless Liverpool are desperate enough to overpay for him. Give him the first half of next season to build up some form and flog him in January at an inflated price (if we're inclined to do so)

I don't fully understand the attempt of policing of users freaking out on here during a transfer window, other than it being a tad annoying. Let them gan wild.

If this is whats happening, I can't understand why the club are dragging their feet to spend? I understand the last few windows being poor due to our previous over-spending. I just can't understand why Eddie would have to play mind games in the press.

Would everyone be alright finishing the window with 2 signings, both around 60mil each?
