ponsaelius Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The problem with Reyes (as a free agent) and Schaer (having a low clause) is while they're in our price range we'll have even more competition with clubs over wages so makes them even less likely to sign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The problem is no one other than Rafa knows how to carry out a transfer. Charnley is just an incompetent prick he should be stuck in a field somewhere to scare birds away that's all he's fit for Nowt to do with Charnley being incompetent. He's just doing what he's told. Fully agree. They put the illusion out there that they don’t know what they’re doing, but the reality is that they are more in control of their money than any other club in the PL at this point in time. If they wanted to spend money the club would still attract some very good players. The fat man refuses to buy into this crazy money era though, he’s never once come close to breaking the transfer record in all these years. Any supposed bid above that I call bullshit on. Multitude of reasons why. The main one being that his feelings were hurt when we turned on him after Keegan. He will never get over that. Ever. But he also likes a gamble and am guessing his big bet could be that the PL bubble will burst. He’ll do what he does best in those conditions and act like the vulture he is. Big bet though. Especially now that he’s potentially cash strapped. No way he’s going to spend if he’s got a lump sum of tv money put away for a rainy day.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 They've shown in the past when the will is there then deals can be done (a rarity no doubt), it's not an issue of incompetence, the issue is they have no intention of making significant transfers. Charnley is very limited, where a decent chairman/director can help in terms of commercialisation I'm not sure he can BUT that suits Ashley, the club is run on a shoestring and Sports Direct get their free advertising.

mighty__mag Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Bryan, one of Schar or Reyes and Rondon would still leave us a number 10 and striker short if Gayle goes. I feel if Schar comes in we could still lose Jamaal if a big club have an offer behind closed doors. Or he's just basically Mbembas replacement?

Selling clubs will also probably leak it when we take weeks over a signing while we try and shift someone off our books to bring them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
