SUPERTOON Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) 28 minutes ago, timeEd32 said: I don't think there's any reason to think there's some big problem behind the scenes. Some things may have been delayed or re-evaluated with Mitchell coming in, but the main issue is that we likely just don't have a lot of money to spend and we really need outgoings. Not to get into another ffp/psr debate, but that goes against everything the media has been saying. According to them, we have a fairly decent amount to spend (I’m aware they are quite often full of shit). Edited August 1 by SUPERTOON Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I'm not sure it's about outgoings, it's just about the time it takes to line up and make signings. Let's worry when the window's closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 One of the worst signings you could make under PSR, bloated fee with little to no sell on, high wages and long contract. Strikes me as a player comfortable at Man Utd but doesn’t have the quality to go somewhere else and drag a team out the shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Be interesting to see if Mount can make a comeback, think he's a bit unlucky slash excessively shite since he went to Manchester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering what others thought. Perhaps I should have rephrased the question. My thought are that Howe does take time to bed players in, so getting players in late is perhaps counter productive, but getting the right players in is essential. However, if there is a change in direction and type of players were might look at, this will take time, and time is critical at this stage of the season. I guess we will not know until the end of the window, but as we stand, we are weaker than at the close of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this too (yes, I got @Froggy'd), but he was injured most of the season. 1 goal in 14 games where 9 of them he was a sub, not good compared to previous seasons with Chelsea, but I'm sure he'll be more productive this season.

KingArthur Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 7 hours ago, Sibierski said: Think if we don’t see at least one main guy in by the Sela Cup I’ll start to get concerned on what’s happening behind closed doors. We all knew from end of last season the two main areas we needed to spend money (CB / RW) and areas where we wanted to increase quality in depth if opportunities arose (GK / ST / CM). With ideally moving on a few players. So far, it’s a goalkeeper which was part of a panic PSR deal, and likely a very young raw striker. Fanbase need a big signing just to ease the apprehensions that things maybe are not rosey behind closed doors. Fanbase can panic at the end of August. More important to find a right player than to just buy players. Still few of the top teams have been really quiet. I trust we get the right players and hopefully can sell few.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Very hard to enjoy things as a football fan, you’re always supposed to be questioning everything. I’m currently still in a blissful state of being able to go and enjoy watching a team and know the club is run by actual professionals with a mission to make us better. I think that’ll probably last another 5 seasons at least. Maybe more when I see the new East Stand font. Edited August 2 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 So we will only be signing young players from now on, Eddie's original plan of signing established players seems to be over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
