Stifler Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 6 weeks ago we wouldn’t pay good money for a player who the manager wanted, now we are paying good money for players the manager doesn’t want.

TRon Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Maximin sounds like potentially he could be worth a lot of money at some stage of his career. Bruce wasn't hired to worry about his temperament, his job is to take the players he's given and coach them. Hence the title Head Coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like your playing monopoly with them and every roll of the dice lands you in jail. It’s like we were doing just fine just getting by. We had a couple houses on the pinks and people were stopping by landing on us. For some unbelievable reason we decided to sell the houses and the pinks for 600 pound, bought water works, a couple train stations and expect to get round the board. We’re fucked.

toontownman Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 He's either Ben Arfa or he's Adama Traore. Exactly. Hatem came with the same reputation and Hughton did as he was told. Hatem went missing ffs to get the move! Depends whether Bruce handles him like Hatem or Nzogbia. Either way we are fooked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Ain’t a fucking chance any manager has the ability to block deals post Rafa. He may have a say but no way does he have final. Him doing so would directly impact the buy potential sell for higher mantra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 So the window shuts in a few weeks and we seriously haven't signed a player and the ones we apparently have lined up are not wanted by the current manager.

Guest Gonzo Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 :lol: There’s something very dodgy about this. The chap has the same agent as Joelinton. It’s almost as if he has their next transfers lined up already for a minimum price which is double what they are worth now. There’s no other way Ashley would allow the club to spend its money on players unless there was a cash related incentive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to play Robbie Brady ahead of Hatem Ben Arfa when he had him at fucking Hull To be fair, Ben Arfa didn't want to be there and literally wasn't trying. Might be a bit of a argument about the type of tactics being used completely de-motivating him, but still he was putting no effort in whatsoever.

It’s great the ridiculous part of this, well one of many, is that no one in the media seen is asking the question: if they're getting rid of rafa because they're using nixon's scouting to ID players for a head coach to use, why haven't they had them all already signed?

There’s no other way Ashley would allow the club to spend its money on players unless there was a cash related incentive. Don't wanna suggest there's anything illegitimate about any of our transfer dealings this summer but I don't, for a moment, believe this lad and Joelinton have been identified because they're the best fit for the club. We already know this mob are perfectly okay with agents' favours and what-have-you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
