If that's true, then fair enough.

Ā 

When all is said and done this window we'll have the players we need. Under MA and Charnley, we just made offers that wouldn't be accepted until the window closed and we got no one in, so not sure how the current ownership could ever compare to that.

How confident are you that we’ll get:

Ā 

CF

RW

as a minimum because I think we need a dynamic central midfielder too.

Ā 

I get that we are making bids however players have value and we seem to be always shooting lower than the perceived value of the entity.Ā 
Ā 

it’s like going into Waitrose and offering lower than the value the seller wants , your always going to get a no. Just give the sellers what they need and get what we need. if that happened I’m sure we’d all be more contentĀ

We aren't, as proved with Botman and Ekitike we are bidding more, probably more than their actual worth, but because its us they are trying to have our eyes out and I'm quite happy the club are sayingĀ  get stuffed as there will come a point when selling clubs realise we'll move on and best take the offer when it's there.

Just paying whatever means we'll have our eyes taken out and we'll only be able to bring in one or two as oppose to 4 or 5. Or am I missing something?

It is a foolproof policy mind - just give the sellers what they want. We'd have a title winning side within THIS WINDOW!

To complete the food shopping analogy, it's like going to the shop and asking how much a tin of beans is and them saying £1 to most people, £10 to a few and £20 to you.

Why is that going to change because I don’t see the wealth of the owners dropping ?

It's because we are being treated even more differently than the Chelseas of this world, add in players may be reticent to come until we are closer to the finished article. Selling clubs are trying us out to see how desperate we'll get. We know we'll pay a premium but only up to so far.

Ā 

I am confident we will get all three.

Ā 

We are negotiating, as every club does, based on what the buying club perceives the value of the player to be. You don't base a players value on whatever the selling club determines it to be man. That's basic stuff! Ultimately they then meet somewhere in the middle or both parties walk away.

Ā 

We will negotiate up until a certain point in the window, depending on how far in the window we are willing to go, and then will decide when we ultimately buy the players we are most happy paying for.

Ā£30m is steep for the Salzburg kid...... basically, not much Sesko Value.

Ā 

(that pun may have been used already but fuck it, every daily visit to this thread brings another 30 bloody pages :lol:Ā )

I'm happy with our current transfer situation, for the continuity of the team I would like our transfers done before the last two friendlies, however I can totally understand that better deals will be done the closer you get to the window closing and clubs will panic with time closing in and cash on the table.

Ā 

Loan deals especially are more and more likely the closer you get the the end of the window. I think we'll see minimum 1 loan perhaps 2 if it has a good option to buy built in.

This is a parody account isn’t it?


Either way I’ve just been to Waitrose and tried the bartering system and he’s right it didn’t work. However, someone outside the shop said they were an agent for Waitrose and wanted Ā£120 for a banana so I bought it. Result!

Sesko and Harrison and we're ready to go.


Midfielder very much needed too. Would be a very very good to perfect window then.Ā

Yeah. It's great that any rumour is followed up with tweets of what these no-hopers have found via Google.
