clintdempsey Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) If it’s “the calm before the storm” there must be a hell of a storm brewing that’s for sure. I guess I can take some solace from that. 😂 Edited July 28, 2022 by clintdempsey Spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Since that nerd Ashworth has come in we've become all boring and professional. I was actually considering working earlier, desperate times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Whilst it is no fun with no leaks, the takeover saga has really improved my patience. we waited 18 painful months for that to happen, and in just 6 weeks the transfer window will be shut and our business will be done, so I am more than content to just wait and see who we buy.

Nine Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It’s boring right now but we need to chill out a bit, some expected to much to fast. Not as simple as ‘just pay it’ or ‘push the wage structure now’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've picked some low hanging fruit in Targett and Pope. Landed someone we've been after since January. The more difficult business of getting creative and attacking players... there's Wood from January.

The Prophet Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I'm pretty chilled. We've had a good window to date and I'm sure we'll bring in a couple more additions before the beginning of September. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am chilled aswell …but disagree about the good windows though it’s a 5/6 out of 10 (in my opinion) Pope / Keeper - Similar in standard to dubravka (so won’t effect general play) Targett - We had him last season so no improvement/ same as last year 1 real addition (outfield) Botman - Great signing / great addition Edited July 28, 2022 by JonBez comesock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair. Worst case, I thought we might panic ourselves into some big signings close to the window closing. More likely pre-Ashworth though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 23 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Btw i prefered the leaky leaky approach. This is desperate. The thing is the idea that Ashworth can shut off the leaks just seems unrealistic to me. He has no control over agents and other clubs, and they are leaky the vast majority of the time. My feeling is that we're monitoring things and hoping that moves other clubs make free up a target. If that doesn't happen though we're not going to spend the money for the sake of it, we'll look to get a loan or two and wait until the next window to spend. I think the lack of leaks is likely more to do with not much happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've addressed a problem position at left back, strengthened the goal keeping department and brought in one of Europe's best young centre backs. Howe has said that we want another couple in the attacking department and I have no reason to doubt him. Whether we manage to bring in long term targets of Bruno's quality or a stopgap such as Burn, I'm sure they'll strengthen us no end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the season starting next week,... you do have to start rating it from now.\ You taker Arsenal and Spurs. Nearly all key positions filled in time to participate in pre-season. Good window. City - still chasing 1 player but everyone signed nice and early. Then you have Chelsea, Man United.. us... key potentially season defining transfers will happen in the last 5 weeks and most likely after the season has already started. It cannot be an ideal window. We've got enough stop-gaps for now. We need another 2 players - a level above what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Let's not forget, this will be the first summer transfer deadline day in about 15 year where we will have our eyes open and react to the market, where if someone becomes available who we want we'll make the move. None of this "closed for business" bullshit we've been fed for years. I reckon we get a striker in the next week or two and then a right winger arrives later on, possibly even a loan deal.
