Ah man. Would love Akliouche here. What a shame if he ends up going to Spurs.

Imagine when the music stops and we are the ones left standing without a chair. Doesn't bear thinking about lol.

Hes absolutely woeful, man. Would much rather bring in grandpa Vardy over someone like him.

Would've taken Nunez for 50m instead of Strand Larson for 60m or Nicholas Jackson for 70m. Obviously, too late for that now.

Not doing so could really set the club back 3 or 4 years.

I feel like that every summer tbf.

Suds will know about him, I'm sure. Thats his job.

We've all been there, mate.

And it is not all down to PSR, sadly. Alot of it is self inflicted.

So basically write this season off? If we are finishing mid-table, I doubt we keep a hold of our better players, and I wouldn't blame them for wanting to leave. We are going to need a serious rebuild if that happens. I mean, i get what you're saying. Why spend huge chunks of money simply for the sake of spending it when we can wait for something better to come along. What a sorry mess we have got ourselves into.

Julian Alvarez would be amazing, but how realistic is it? Atletico paid 90m only a year ago, so would probably want at least a 100m for him.

We can similarly point to the likes of Phillipe Albert and Mats Selz.

If this really is the case, we need to move on, right now. No more negotiations, no more hesitation. Seemingly, yet another striker saga, where we come away empty-handed. Its embarrassing.

Cuckoldry towards the cartel 6 knows no bounds. Clubs like Palace, Brentford and Brighton, they are simply there to bend over for their overlords.

The timing of this message from Isak sucks. Hes basically trying to sabotage our upcoming fixture against his beloved Liverpool Football Club.

This guy is a rat, snake, weasel, all rolled into one. All the devious creatures of the animal kingdom you can possibly think of.

Absolutely no plan B whatsoever. Hate arrogant, stubborn wankers like that who stick to a system no matter what, when the whole world can see its not working.

Its alright saying there's nobody out there, but there surely must be someone in the whole of Europe who can come in and do an adequate job? Leipzig just signed that fella Romulo from Turkey to replace Sesko. Watch him become an 80m player in 18 months time. Forest got Kalimuendo and Villa got Guessand, whilst we were sat on our hands waiting for Wissa.

Agreed. It seems alot of people still don't appreciate the situation we find ourselves in. We absolutely are desperate right now.

I think we were all confident of getting Wissa. With that now seemingly more doubtful, panic has set in big time. We've had people in another thread suggesting Raheem Sterling ffs.

We wouldn't get him even if we were considering it. Im sure Manchester will play silly buggers with us just like they did when we tried to sign Lingard from them. Which makes it a non-starter.

Hojlund definitely has something. Check out the highlights from the game below. This is from the very early days of his time Man Utd, before they absolutely ruined him and shot his confidence to pieces. I know these are only brief highlights, but in a different environment along with some proper coaching from Howe, I think there is definitely a player in there. For 20m I'd have Hojlund here, without question. Would still need one more striker alongside, though.

And Ronaldo wasn't a striker at Sporting. He was an out and out winger that later became a pure forward at Manchester and Real Madrid.

Who's the last truly great striker to come through Portugal? Was it Falcao? Can't think of anyone since.
