Bimpy474 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The impatience makes the paranoia worse. The theories get more and more bizarre. The demented go more and more off their collective nuts. Once the first proper buy happens the calm will again spread among the lost. Fucking lunatics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 To be honest it does show the behaviour of addicts, and withdrawal symptoms when the new dopamine hit has not yet arrived maybe we all need more purpose in our lives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Just wait until the window ends. I'll bet money we've got a new RCB & RW by then. It's been a slow market for most clubs, not just us (who've undergone a big leadership change). We'll be fine lads, just sit tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardsleymagic Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Although I agree we shouldn't just rush in and buy somebody without making sure they are right for the squad, the fact is we have a favourable start to the season. Are we not missing a trick by trying to have a couple of quality players in and hopefully having a flying start to the season? I would have hoped that the club would have also thought this after the fixtures came out. Leicester showed what a good start and momentum and belief can do if things fall right for you.

Rushing to buy someone that we’re not convinced about because we want them to play against Southampton at home, is not a coherent and robust transfer strategy.

Checko Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 There's quite a good episode of the Overlap where they discuss who should have final say in bringing in players at a football club. One thing people could agree on was that bringing in the wrong player can set you back a long way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Will be interesting to see if we get outbounds sorted before inbounds. You would assume that our budget is very different if we sell Trippier, Almiron, Wilson etc. Vs. if we don't do that. Shifting those three opens up circa. £35m of allowable spend a.k.a potentially three £50m players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Again agents aren't exactly motivated to help moves happen quickly, know it can and is done but their leverage does get better if they delay and look for competition. It's not as simple as club just deciding lets do it early. Club can say we do it now or not at all, but agents know if the club really wants someone probably means they'll come back, or someone else will have em. Honestly I think it's why so much effort goes in to tapping up players in advance so the player just insists to get it over and done with so they can move, but our director of football situation has probably harmed that.

gbandit Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Would be delighted with Madueke. Don’t want to give Chelsea cash but hopefully we can stiff them as they need to offload some squad members Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
