St1pe Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I feel like we’re approaching the stage of the window that we might have to (or should) actually pay the asking price for a centre back even if it means over paying and reducing the amount of overall players we’ll sign this window. I’m really not confident we’ll stay up unless we gain another top quality defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 CB CM and a striker of real quality. Get this done before the window closes and im feeling optimistic. 3 players, just get them done! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Even though there's nothing in that tweet to suggest it's us he's talking to, I'm still going to be furious when it doesn't happen and blame it on the lack of a DoF. Saudis out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still maintain Wood was a terrible waste of money also, £25 million still gets me laughing in unbelief Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Just now, gdm said: Must be coming up to a record in failed bids in a window It's just become tiresome. So many deals leaked and subsequently failed: Botman Carlos Lingard Gosens Ekitike Not all the blame lay with the owners as I'm sure leaks came from all over i.e. selling club, player involved, agent etc but some of the names linked with key positions are becoming underwhelming (Bruno aside). Burn, Phillips, Tarkowski don't scream guaranteed survival to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I’m guessing our hand only gets weaker the closer it gets to the window end too. We’ll end up like that Sunderland chairman by bidding £100m for Tarkowski in the last half an hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the lack of clubs buying and the need for some to balance the books might strengthen our hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Remember those sweet old days when we were never knocked back for players because we never used to bid for any.

loki679 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 We don't have the clout, the profile or the income streams (yet) to force through a sale of a top class player. I'm 100% certain we'll see some more achievable targets come through the door before the window closes and we'll be back in for the cream when we're in a better position to force the issue.

Mattoon Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It's the pattern that's worrying, NUFC want the player, the player wants to come, club moving goal posts/doesn't want to sell. The whole thing stinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
