triggs Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Can't see it happening but Ousmane Dembele would be an outstanding signing. People realise we play Ryan Fraser on one of our wings yes? He's not just better than what we've got. He's in a different planet to what we've got Edited January 17, 2022 by triggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why we think this would even come off. If Burnley are pissed off about Wood, they’re not going to sell Tarkowski to us unless we make an obscene offer. Unless there is a release clause, of course. The way Wood played on Saturday I doubt very much Burnley are pissed off at us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Wolves built a really good team in the Championship. Even last time we were down there, Ritchie was seen as a bit of a coup and didn't Gayle also leave the prem to sign for us (and more money)? You'd like to think with more wedge, we'd be in a better position this time. *Desperately looking for positives for when we inevitably get relegated I did wonder the other day if Nuno would be a good appointment if we go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The worrying meme is become a reality for me a bit. I can't stand these quiet days, then when we're linked it's not a priority position/not quality/knocked back straight away. I've got the fear.

Lush Vlad Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Didn't Nuno want a sabbatical? Then he was like Spurs' 9th choice and they chucked good money at him and he took it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Honest question, would you rather: 1) Get Wood/Trippier type signings that help us scrape through and avoid relegation -> Team full of older journeymen 2) Get hot prospects, with outside chance of staying up due to their inexperience, but so good that we come back up again if we get relegated: Ekitike/Badiashile -> Team full of exciting prospects Edited January 17, 2022 by arnonel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’m glued to the refresh button today, don’t know why as it seems like it’s a bit of a wasteland out there but it just feels like we absolutely have to act urgently right now and start putting in some stupid offers for players otherwise we’re not going to survive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 All of these links / offers are becoming ridiculous, everyday it’s something different As everyone has already mentioned , we need players not links or offers Obviously journalists are desperate to be the first (I told you so) However - For us as fans, it’s frustrating as xxxx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Well there are two main issues with getting players in, agreeing a fee and agreeing terms with the player. Clearly those things are both difficult given our circumstances, the only thing we have in our favour is money therefore it feels our only way out of this at the moment is to offer more money. Pretty blunt object approach but I’m not sure what else is going to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Passing on a slither of news, Andy Brassell who said Trippier to us was going to happen when it wasn't certain reckons that the Diego Carlos deal will happen because of the deal we've offered him. Not sure how that works if the club haven't agreed to it, but we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine you'd be swapping a title challenge in Seville for a relegation battle in Newcastle for anything other than money, to be fair! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 There does seem to be some sort of consensus that a CB will be coming in this week. If it's Carlos I'm stoked. He looks just the sort of nasty bastard we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’ve got reservations about Carlos and if he will be able to adapt to this league tbh, but seemingly it’s him and surely can’t be any worse than what we currently have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think big Joe will help him settle quickly if it happens and pass on instruction if there's a language barrier. He seems a player who likes to go in hard on tackles, i'd be worried he'd be "too up for it" in his first few games, we literally cannot afford any slip ups in our winnable games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
