Has slot always been allowing Trent to push so high so early? If yes, it’s going to be a long season for Konate.

Manchester red are very vulnerable in the half spaces.

No matter who wins this game, I’m going to enjoy the losers tears, truly a win win.

We actually need to move him on if we’re being honest but with the amount of squad changes due to happen this summer it might be tough.

No idea how we won that but I’ll take it.

Barnes off?

This is what doing fuck all in a transfer window looks like.

I don’t think so; we just haven’t been very good so far this season and we turnover the ball very easily so it’s probably better he hangs on before pushing forward because our Cbs one vs one have no hope.

You will be waiting awhile me thinks.

Tino looks fine to me, generally good on the ball as is amazing one vs one. He’s actually really good going forwards and overlapping too but our whole game being transition based means he doesn’t get much chance to show it

Not sure that one change fixes it mind. Although having someone show for the ball when the defence has it will be an improvement mind.

Winning which is good but the technical level our players display is pretty poor to be honest, absolutely no ability to play through them.

Maddison going to whinge for the rest of the game now.

That high energy relentless side still MIA mind.

Olmo and Olise went for less than 50m. I don't think you understand, from an FFP POV, we can't afford to me mugged off paying high fee's for average players.

The Birmingham deal is such an outlier man, let's not quote that one. They may not have sold him for 15m last season (they would have because he was surplus to requirements) but would we have paid 50m for him then? Of course not. The point I'm making is, we need long term planning in order to meet our goals, we can't do things by the seat of the pants like throwing daft bids on Deadline day, that's what disorganized teams do.

it is crazy value and the same with Guehi when the second word out of the clubs mouth at every turn is PSR. We complain about it all the time and despite that, we still insist to buy such players for such ridiculous fees. They simply have to be smarter than that, the PSR cries are becoming intolerable to me as we aren't maximizing our revenue and we seem to loathe shopping in cheaper markets where we can get value for money or players we can flip for profit. But it doesn't matter anyways, we are heading for a reckoning with lots of players out of contract so the club will sink or swim within the next 24 months.

Kaka my friend, us offering 50m for Elanga 12 months after he joined forest for 15m represents a lot of failures to be honest. it’s a massive recruitment failure and one we can’t afford, if we liked the look of him take the chance at 15m don’t wait for half decent season and for the valuation to be 50m+. This is precisely how you run into PSR issues through a lack of long term strategy and planning.

The article posted is nothing which we haven’t been saying on here for years tbh.

Nothing what your saying is incorrect the issue is it doesn’t change the present. We absolutely had to be at minimum challenging for the CL this season to keep the wheels on road, nobody can have that expectation now and that’s going to prove to be a big issue. I think my biggest concern is between the 3 of them they don’t appear to have a fucking clue how much a player should cost. they offered the same amount for Guehi as they offered out Flash for.

It’s march day at last and despite that fact I’m still utterly perplexed at how we’ve conducted ourselves.

Trips isn’t going to turkey.

Given the sums they are paying they are putting the trust in the management team they appoint for top dollar to perform.

No way we offered 50m for Elanga The fact we bid for him at all kinda tells me we do not have a long term plan regarding squad building mind. If you like him at 35m when didn’t you offer man united when they sold him for 15m.
