Shadow Puppets Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 If you watch Eddie's press conference he does seem pretty adamant that we're unlikely to do any more significant business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player becomes available at the right price then the money will be made available. There is 100% an interview where he said things changed slightly after Wilson’s injury. In terms of price is down to interpretation but come on we are on verge of signing pedro before the injury then we go back to Isak after it. Something changed. I think reading between the lines of what he said that’s exactly what happened But aye bollocks Edited August 30, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said we are focusing on loans Though he left a bit of wiggle room for a possibility for a permanent transfer, though unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, PL is an odd league and more talented players have failed to adapt. Yep they went there with Felipe Anderson, was a total fail. I'd dare stick my neck out and say Lyon make players look better than they are, Traore of Villa is an example, he was unstoppable at Lyon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think Pedro could still happen late on, if Watford change their tune. It seems the deal was all but signed, and personal terms agreed, so if they do change their mind it would be pretty quick to finalise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 if we're done it's still been a good window. if we get more that's just gravy at this point [engages troll mode] unfortunately for the bed wetters we're not going to recycle the entire squad in 2 windows.

Played as a #10 at the weekend and was fantastic apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I’ve literally heard him saying and a journalist has quoted him saying it. The injury to Wilson made us change slightly. I could give you footage of him saying what Waugh has quoted him saying and you’d still argue you were right oh look another journalist saying it after howe Interview Edited August 30, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he played on the right much before? Someone posted his touches and runs against Barca. Almost exclusively on the right inside channel. The actual positions don’t vary much from the positions Almiron takes up. Think Henry at Arsenal. A lot of time in the channel. it’s not the same as RW In a 433 but you can see how it would work.

Pedro was well in the works before Wilson got his injury. Isak had been on the list of top targets since January, but Sociadad did not want to sell. As I said you stick to your budget theory.

The College Dropout Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Chris Waugh said the same in The Athletic. Plans changed decisively after the City game. Seeing how good we could be and the massive gulf after Wilson was injured. With the Chairman there they pivoted decisively. You can link all the articles from established journalists or quotes from Howe. People don’t care they want to stick to their opinion. The evidence suggests the plans changed after City. Some won’t accept that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak didn’t become available. We played well, Wilson got injured. The Chairman and the leadership team decided to increase what we were willing to pay for our actual top target and sent a delegation to Sociedad the next day to get a deal done. In reality it was a fairly big pivot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
