Cookie1892 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 is it just me or is the lack of signings down to the world cup? everyone getting in a twist because we haven't signed or bid for anyone yet? Maybe they are involved and they want to see i they get injured or have a decent/bad tournament which will affect the price of said players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Have you not witnessed the last decade? It's what we do man. We hate spending money, no excuses for it other than the owner is a cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm pretty sure anyone Rafa wants isn't going to be signed on the basis of a world cup performance as they'll already have been scouted for a long time. I'm 99.9% certain it's the cunts in charge as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99.9% certain it's the cunts in charge as always. clubs will be unwilling to sell said player now though for say £10 million if they are due to play in the tournament if they have a blinder you can stick another £5-£10 million on their price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 If you believe that's why we aren't buying anyone, fair enough. Ever since Caulkin said the clubs stance is 'it will be hard to sign players if Rafa doesn't commit' (words to that effect), it's been obvious what was coming.

I'm 99.9% certain it's the cunts in charge as always. Yep - Rafa said exactly that recently about signing players off a good tournament!

It's even harder to sign them if you don't put any bids in. Not that anyone here needs convincing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 i'm choosing to put the lack of anything down to the financial year shit and that things will kick off big time in july, i'll reassess this clearly idiotic approach in july but it'll do for now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 There's only going to be a limited time between the world cup finishing and the transfer window closing, meaning we're going to leave it very late to get the players we need in. That and the usual excuses are why people are in a bit of a panic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d get much more for Mitro than Andros is worth, and you know Mike loves his resale valuations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe more of a, "we will sell you Mitrovic if you sell us Townsend". Always liked Townsend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Just read that FFS - complete and utter joke yet again. Just walk Rafa and let the club burn as it deserves to under the current wanker of an owner Are you going to launch a JustGiving page for the £6m release clause in his contract? He'll be here for next season and unless there is a change at the top, then he'll be gone for sure. He'll see 3 years as a decent stint and will have re-established himself in PL with no shortage of takers when he goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
