Absolutely agree and understand your point but that's the remit isn't it? Let's not believe our revenue will be par with the cartel clubs come 2030. It's rough it isn't easy at all but nevermind what people on here say, from what's been said the club expect European football every year. Swinging back to this board, I think we all knew we couldn't afford to make mistakes In the market and to this point we haven't made one mistake we've made a few and alarmingly it's happened in one window and the window where Eddie had a Free run at it.

Something not discussed but worth considering is Eddie's job is to essentially overachieve like. It may not be fair but that's the expectation isn't it? Ultimately they've come out again and said we expect to be winning things in 5 years that's a lot of pressure alone. A lot on here will be able to confirm life isn't fair like, at least Eddie has been well compensated for his sub optimum hand.

The calender doesn't work, they still think it's 2022.

Aye we aren't great sellers it's true, I think we are way past that point with Murphy tbh. Very little point selling him he's good to keep in the squad.

Yup, 125m * after him not being for sale, then maybe but for sale. Then 150m and then folding at 125m was poor. Add on the fact we let It drag on and then spent the money on someone who seems ill suited to our style and someone who is 29 and off the back of one great season. Nightmare fuel if we are being honest.

Now look up some of our other attackers and compare. This is great for the price

Actually not worth it to sell him imo. His output is great for price.

Not going to knock the club for this I doubt we were actually in for him.

Think we need quite a bit given the age profile and contract status of some squad players. I imagine we lose at least2 purples that need replacing as well.

We folded in the worst possible way, it's only being mitigated by his injury and his awful start. Anyways less said about the rat the better. Cunt of the highest order.

Your right, we should be going in to every game with the desire to win. That being said pragmatism is also needed. The worst case scenario which we've seen plenty of is playing players who are knackered, them getting injured and us losing both the game and important players. Rotation is needed in this game, doesn't provide excuses or cover for not giving it our all though.

I agree, Wood was a flop he didn't perform however the amount we lost on him was minimal so it's not really worth much discussion. Plus let's not pretend like you don't take the same approach when discussing your lot.

They are. We also have to wait for the glutens to finish feeding before it's our turn as well.

No point comparing us to Man united when speaking with Froggy absolutely waste of time.

Couldn't be further from the truth. 29yo with one 20+ goal a season. Brentford play a different style and don't come up against teams who defend deep either. We probably had to give him a 4 year deal so we lose a year of amortisation of that daft fee making it even more expensive If we take a step back and think about it. wissa was a result of poor planning/execution.

Wissa was desperate times called for desperate measures.

We should have tried harder to fine value in the market instead of paying the premiums we paid. Especially as we are crying poor again.

I'm assuming we are subsidising that loan as well.

So do we believe his agent? Anyways I think we all knew the writing was on the wall regarding this one.

Even if we are (we arent) we have to do it in a world cup year after waiting for the big fish to feed and this will be led by Ross Wilson at best who has a very mixed track record. Idk about you but I'm not looking forward to the summer at all.

Doesn't change a thing and I'm really astounded people actually believe it He had a contract with us and was promised a new one by someone who had long since left the building. The project stalled and he wanted out. He clearly doesn't view contracts as worth the paper they are written on so I've got no idea why some people believe a newer sheet of paper would have made any difference. Tldr hes a massive cunt.

You believe we have no issues with Isak if we offer him a new contract? btw he did get offered once this summer and declined. And please don't make me defend mitchell ffs, but anyone in his position would have left when he obviously didn't have any power. Imagine saying what he said and then signing off pissing 55m on Elanga and 50m and Wissa. Get real man.
