St1pe Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 They obviously have their reasons but given Chelsea’s movement in the market signing CHO despite the risk seemed like a really obvious move for us given our weakness in the RW position. I’m gutted we haven’t gone for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Part of me still expects us to sign no one, hard wired in to me to expect us to be left short of what we need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I think there's a decent chance we'll fail to get our targets now. If every deal gets this slow and complicated there has to be a chance that we'll run out of time at some point. Making first contact with a target with a week to go is one of the more risky ways to run the window. Edited August 24, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It’s all bluff and counter bluff with clubs and agents. Each have their own reasons for the other to believe they are the only show in town. Going to be a rollercoaster 7 days ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 People thinking our new back-room set up is going to go all “sunderland ‘til I Die Griggs purchase” in the last week? I’m sure there’s deals for players nobody has a fucking clue we’re after quietly being done. I’m expecting a few surprises over the next few days. (Pavlidis here yet?)

Thumbheed Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Don't understand why we're not linked with more right wingers, Diaby aside we've been linked almost exclusively with wingers who play pre dominantly on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Joao Pedro came out of nowhere, we’d probably still know nowt about it if Romano didn’t have a source at Watford.

We didn’t bring in our top targets in those last days in January mind and none for the money that’s being talked about currently for the ones we are in for. We may have to go down our list of targets again to get the players in now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is silly money and then there is paying the going rate, Maddison for example at 60 million would have been fair market value imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know TBH. We also failed to get quite a few people IIRC, hence having to go for Burn and Targett instead of Carlos, Botman et al. I'm not criticising really, it's normal to miss out on people. I'm just saying time will run out at some point and there's not a lot left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
