sempuki Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 There must be decent players in the Championship and clubs that need to sell? Makes sense to plan ahead for next season imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Eg If we get close to the top (in 7 years time) and we bid 100 million for a player , as does Real Madrid / Barcelona and Man City it’s not a shoe in that he joins us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What mistakes exactly? We've signed a high class right back and an unfashionable ST, are actively working on multiple fronts to sign players that will actually improve the squad, and while it's not the smoothest ride, they're actually trying to make the club better, and are prepared to learn from there mistakes. To say theyre no better them Ashley is beyond laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering its our soft centre and weak minded defender dropping us wins at alarming rates we've done next to fuck all to stop it. They've panicked and bought Wood for £25m yet they quibble over £6m in a position we're desperate for, £3.5m loan fee for a player who could get goals. Penny wish, pound foolish. Just like Ashley. Going down with this lot. They've had their chance to turn it around and blown it spectacularly. Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know January is notoriously difficult to do business in? This isn't Football Manager, you can't just splurge £200 million on an entirely new squad. It's actually really annoying me how expectant people have become, I would have thought after 14 years of utter shite people would tame there expectations slightly, allow them a bit of time to change the culture of the club, give them a bit of slack but no everything has to be here and now.

The Prophet Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It does feel like people have lost sight of the fact that we're in this mess, requiring 3-4 quality additions bare minimum, thanks to Mike Ashley. Perhaps the consortium could have gone about their business a bit better, but let's not forget why we're in this position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It obviously just comes down to them not being cutout for the task yet. They wouldn't be putting big bids in for defenders if they weren't serious.

nufc4eva Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I think it was always going to be difficult and new owners were always going to make some mistakes plus January and new money when we are in our position makes me think we will end up going down. It's so frustrating and you would have hoped we would get a few results but our team is lopsided and full of trash. If clubs keep hiking the prices as know we are desperate it's going to be a struggle, I still think we will sign players we need by 31st but will need a hell of an effort to stay up and will need to go on a run starting with Everton on the 8th. I probably won't bother watching Leeds game as won't be pretty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
