LFEE

Code taken but been given another if anyone struggling.

No plans to use my discount code if anyone needs one. First come first served.

How were the queue numbers out of interest? Mate was on dot on for 10am and was 5000+

That and after they supported him throughout his entire ban his first interview is all about him wanting to leave for a big club. Hope we stay well clear and judging by Fee/Wages/Age and need to start most games I think we’ll be safe.

Very sad. First foreign top I ever bought.

The problem is too many fans think signing a player is simply identifying them, agreeing a fee and personal terms then booking a medical and them signing the contract.

They have 🙂 Thats the next phase after first phase have picked their seats. There’s a first come first served phase (queue/man walking). Then there is the third phase which is the returns/re-sells from corporate/ST Holders.

Apparently this goal was disallowed an hour after the final whistle via VAR and they’ve had to replay the last minute hours after final whistle 😆

I’m normally reasonable with journalists however I’ve never known Graeme Bailey have a good word to say about us and loves to stir the pot.

No Olympics footy thread? Or just other games? This looked fun…

Longstaff into his last year and no renewal talks. No idea if they are similar players mind.

It was to help those who wanted a good seat regardless of price band. So if nothing in lower band they fancy or that are seated together more importantly then they might choose a higher band then checkout. If you are just buying single or a pair of tickets I’m confident you’ll find the new system much better. Let us all know how it goes 🤞🏻

Shearer signing was amazing. Especially as no mobile phones and social media of any note. The phones at work going crazy with everyone and anyone asking if true or had I heard etc. KKs return as manager for second spell another one.

Exactly. And although it’s a running joke there is some truth in clubs copying our homework if it’s been deemed a success. Clubs that have bigger wage structure and allure currently.

That’s obviously fair comment I don’t no. I do know he’s not a position we are after. Hutchinson was never realistic in terms of his journey last season and he’d be a gamble and end up no better than what we can play there now. Is he really a game changer? Are either of them? Are you losing sleep over missing out on them? I agree we did have that approach but that approach sadly left us with a £50-70m last day PSR black hole and it’s now not the approach going forward as we’ve filled many spots. To be clear is QUALITY over QUANTITY from here on out and this window we are looking at RW. RCB. and potentially a young forward adaptable in positions but strongest centrally. GK could be debated I dare say but I’d say very doubtful this window or even next.

You’ll never stop the whingers until we build that new ground. Even then that will just create something else to whinge about 🙂 They’ll have a bigger chance this year in phase two it can be argue also. With phase three still an option also.

Archie Gray the massive Celtic fan who wanted to play Ange as he loved his style of play Vs Eddie Howe who is hated by Celtic fans after the club courted him for months on end and waited for a response in which he finally turned them down to study the game further and who plays in a position we aren’t looking for? Hutchinson who was on loan to Ipswich who’ve made his move permanent as per agreement? Mats Weiffer a DM who EH has repeatedly said he doesn’t want to play with?

Where has he moved to this window?

Tosin we went after first and he turned us down! So nothing to do with our approach. We court him for months and invited him to the club for a game and if (rumours) true we possibly even offered higher wages than Chelsea. We don’t seem to be in the market for a midfielder and it was noted when we were linked to Onana most on here whinged they didn’t want him and were glad the links stopped as soon as Joelinton re-signed. So that leaves us with Kilman. Who moved in a deal so dodgy that both the buying and selling club went to poor old Maidenhead to tell them the deal wouldn’t go through unless they halved their sell on fee they were legally obliged to pay. The fact we are being linked to CBs might suggest we’ve got our eyes on better. Regardless I’ll sleep fine tonight knowing we’ve missed out on those three as apart from potentially Tosin none would improve us and like I’ve said. The club did everything they could to get him but he was never going to turn Chelsea down. He doesn’t have to move and already was friends with players there when in the Man City academy.

By using your brain and a bit of assumption… So for example £70m max fee. £190kpw wages would be our marquee signing and the budget would allow for two of those. Or maybe three players at £30-50m on £90-120kpw. Irrelevant really as I’m asking you all to name a player we’ve missed out on that would’ve happily joined us if we had jumped in first?

That impact was always going to be as soon as the club announced they were splitting the cake into an extra slice. I think (hopefully) that more people will be happy as in theory at both stages you can pick where you sit availability allowing.

For those who whinge about our lack of activity and speed in the transfer market. Please give me a list of realistic players who would come to the club (ambition/fee size/wage amount considered) that have went to another club already in this window that you wanted?
