Optimistic Nut Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Thought for a while that BT Sport should repackage Football Italia. There’s a lot of nostalgia for 90s football, Serie A in particular, and I’m sure that would attract viewers back. Do BT still have James Richardson? They’ve got it in their hands pretty much if so.

There’s a whole documentary on it on the BT Sport player if you want the nostalgia hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is holding out for Milan then maybe we should just pull out and let him go there. This whole thing is a bit strange.

The Prophet Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 No one reliable is reporting we've agreed a fee with Lille. The chap from the Echo claims "the outline" of a deal has been agreed, but that's about it. If neither us nor Milan have agreed a fee with Lille, the players preference is totally irrelevant, he doesn't have a decision to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Ah, right. Fair enough, if we haven't even agreed a fee yet then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat ambition Come on man , if we don’t improve we go backwards Everyone will look to make a few decent signings , Don’t get complacent our squad is very weak in terms of strength and depth We need at least 4-5 players to try and achieve 8th / 7th that has to be our aim I still think we over achieved following Eddie Howes appointment. Teams will be more organised against us this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm relaxed about the situation and our squad is better now than it was 12 months ago but not improving the squad further would be ludicrous and unacceptable Standing still is effectively going backwards, moreso considering we still have a lot of improving to do Look at City, won the league yet have already signed Haaland/Alvarez and being linked with others (Cucurella/Phillips) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Yeah we aren't not signing anyone like And as noble as last seasons end was, the squad is nowhere near good enough unless you still share mike's ambition of surviving. Players like Bruno and Trippier probably aren't going to be best pleased by the club resting on its laurels either.

Awaymag Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I assume for each position they want to strengthen, they will have a list of players they want to go after. Just let it play out is how Im approaching the window now - can't be arsed with ITK/journalists on Twitter. I'll wait for 'flying over for medical' announcements before getting excited. Everything else is just time/space filling! Edited June 17, 2022 by Awaymag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It does seem like painfully slow progress if we still haven't agreed a deal with Lille, as this seems to have been the situation for the last few weeks at least. Not to mention this actually goes back to January. A lot of time to find out what they would accept. IF they do keep moving the goalposts, it might be time to call their bluff.

But if we start with the same first XI but improve our back-up with big potential, that will represent improvement.Spend £60 million on one superstar who might flop, or 3 £20milion prospects? I know which I'd prefer, for now. Ideally we'll get both. Edited June 17, 2022 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
