What? :lol:

 

Did you miss the Kane to Man City nonsense or even how long it took them to sort Grealish? Or Man Utd haggling to agree the Sancho fee as well this summer?

 

Come on people this is getting ridiculous.

Massive names. We’re after relative unknowns and getting the run-around

Yes, we have an experienced head of recruitment in Nickson and brought in Hammond for added experience and assistance in brokering deals for this month.

 

 

Well it's not been a good job so far by the looks of it right now. Hopefully that changes in the next couple of days....

Relative unknowns to you perhaps, yes.

 

The players we have been looking at are highly rated prospects that a lot of other top clubs are interested in, mostly for summer transfers, which is why their current clubs are more inclined to hold onto them until then when they will have more interest and could possible get more money.

I think the team are being a bit too ambitious IMO in our current predicament.

 

They should have focused on targets other clubs were eager to get rid of due to their contracts running down, or targets that other clubs were happy to loan out to get them off their wage bill. These moves would have been possible to do a lot more quickly.

 

Another option would have been really taking a hard look at prospects in lesser leagues where reasonable fees can be paid and negotiations aren't as tedious. There are some interesting players we have been linked with that can be had for reasonable fees by all accounts, but it appears we are not confident in taking them on e.g. Cabral at Basel, Barbosa at Flamengo and Azmoun at Zenit.

Need to adopt the Alan Partridge approach when buying players.

 

How much is he on the market for?

£35m.

Would you take £34.9m?

Yep.

Excellent. 

 

Us: How many limbs has he got?
Other Club: Four
Us: Four! God! My four limbed bastard footballer

Does seem like a shithouse from some Ligue 1 highlights. Celebrates goals in front of opposition fans and stuff. Get him signed.

 

 

 

Aye thats the confidence of a guy who can carry his price tag.
