Unbelievable Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 There is no doubt the club are run by idiots and that is 100% the problem. Teams know we are desperate and can push the price up if they want to keep their player knowing we won't pay it, when we really we shouldn't be. We should have a list with plenty of options that we have looked at for while. Not try and get some random Danish lad who looks to have had an average career, and loan a crock from Liverpool.

Anon Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The fact that the low-balling bids is a meme is in itself a tragic indictment. You don't really hear anyone making jokes about Swansea or Leicester making joke bids window after window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The fact that the low-balling bids is a meme is in itself a tragic indictment. You don't really hear anyone making jokes about Swansea or Leicester making joke bids window after window. Two pretty bad examples though. Swansea spunked 13m on Bony and pretty much fuck all else. Leicester are trying to get rid of their two strikers they just spent a tonne on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Our fans: Never heard of him, dutch players are s*** in the Premier League Also our fans: Why aren't we blowing our entire budget on him, cough up Mike!!! The two things are fine. You can question a player's potential quality and question why the club that presumably believes in his quality isn't willing to pay the asking price. Maybe they believe he is a 15m player not the 20m asked by Feyenoord? Then they should only need to look at our current striker situation to realise that they're idiots. It's never ever about how much it's worth as part of the bigger picture. If you're dying of thirst, you pay whatever it costs for a glass of water, you don't die while patting yourself on the back for not being held to ransom. It's quite obviously a ransom situation, pay what you have to pay to survive. I wouldn’t liken it to a ransom situation at all. There is just absolutely no intelligent planning going on; it’s all about the deal with Ashley. We are the tightest cunts possible in terms of fees and wages when we try and get someone in yet when it’s time to sell we want top dollar. The needs of the squad are completely secondary to making as big a margin as possible on every single transaction we do. Sadly what goes for players goes for the club as a whole too - we’ll only ever get rid if a buyer is willing to pay a massive premium over what we’re actually worth. The worst thing for me is us fans are letting him get away with it time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCONA Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It's never desirable to pay over the odds for a player, especially when it's going to break your record signing. But surely if he'll improve the team in a place that desperately needs improving it had to happen. Maybe they were confident of getting Sturridge? Desperately disappointing state of affairs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heake Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Any kind of money is dead money if we`re not buying quality. We already have decent - but not special- forwards in our squad. The whole pont of this window (in my view) was to push the boat out, buy someone who can score the goals that can keep us up. The world & his mother know its one thing we`re crying out for, an absolute must & we`ve shown that its beyond us to do that. Results assumed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think we'll have one last go at this today. I doubt it. We were told to get the deal done by 6pm yesterday, Feyenoord won't have time to get a replacement now. They already said in so many words our bid wasn't serious.
