TBG Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think Bruce is a crap manager but I don’t get the feeling he’s lie about something like that. Maybe I’m wrong. I can’t think of anyone we’ve been linked with that would be around that fee. Course he would. He's nothing but another mouthpiece for the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 That shit just makes me more angry than I was before. Offered £40m for a player who he won’t name that rejected us but won’t bid £20m for Bowen, in fact won’t spend any money on transfer fees. Just fuck off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny36 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 only other midfielder I rember linked was Soumare and Lookman should just pay the fee for Bowen and hopefully offload Gayle and Murphy in the summer which would nearly cover Bowens fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 That’ll be that then Aye, cos we'll not need to score between now and May. Just keep relying on the centre-backs to bail us out the shit. What a prize nugget! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Rafa clearly didn't stand up to club and demand money to spend. Unlike Bruce who's made it clear that he's definitely not a puppet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If there are only one transfer left for us to make in this window, I hope it's gonna be the big one where we move Ashley out. That would've been a great window for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooonDoom Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 As shit as the strikers have been they are living off scraps. We're better off having boosted the midfield and left back than just getting a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Heard of a player, good hold up play, half decent goal record, looking for a short term loan due to the indefinite postponement of his domestic league. Comes with even better manager if we can get bought by someone. Would fit the bill perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Why do we keep offering large sums for these players who are not proven at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Mad if Saivet doesn't go somewhere, another year of us paying him and him not playing. Still another 18 months on his contract too. Such a strange transfer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Why do we keep offering large sums for these players who are not proven at all? Because those are MA's favourites due to them being young and having the mythical potential. Boubakary Soumaré is only 20 years old. I also suspect that there is something very beneficial to us in the way these deals are being structured. Rafa was refusing these kinds of signings which is why we were not signing anyone.

Guest Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Why do we keep offering large sums for these players who are not proven at all? A £30-40m player from the continent at that age is probably still ‘only’ around £70-80k. A proven quality player at those fees you’re probably looking 2 or 3x that? Even if they’re only here 2 years you’re probably looking an extra £6-10m on wages. Ashley wouldn’t do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweMag Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Everytime we bid for a player the press finds out. But this time when we have a bid of £40m accepted for a player no one knows This transfer bid never happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
