I genuinely don’t think breaking the bank for Guehi is the only answer we have 

 

do you still think we should sell Joelinton?

[Sibierski]

Any links with anyone or anything? Proper shite this.

 

Just waiting for an injury to someone later this week and it be panic stations in the boardroom to get a deal done.

I know, but it feels like a spin on the transfer that makes it sound like he was just knocking around with nobody wanting him. Which I’m sure wasn’t the case. 
 

Anyway, doesn’t matter, I wasted fingertip skin typing both of these posts

Well, if they say he came from Bournemouth on a free it sounds like they've palmed him off on us like us ditching Fraser or Hayden. So it's a perspective thing, I guess.

Pointless spending money for the sake of it. If that means we don’t get anyone else in this window then so be it. Won’t mean we’re necessarily getting it wrong. We have to make every transfer count. 
 

Last thing we need is making a signing on day a 3/4 year contract knowing that we’ll want rid in 18 months and struggle to move on.

[Weezertron]

Have we even had a solid/reputable link to a right winger? I've read some shite ITKs but thats all I remember.

Olise, Neto and Madueke.

[HaydnNUFC]

Will preface this by saying I have plenty faith that we'll do something; in summer 2022 everyone knew we needed a striker that wasn't as absent as Wilson and was better than Wood. We got Isak. 5 days before the window shut. That's what I'm clutching to.

 

If we get one but don't get the other: RW/CB that is, I'll still be slightly disappointed tbh. We knew we lacked depth at CB going into this season after Lascelles did his ACL v West Ham way back on the 30th March. And for RW: we last signed a RW 7 years ago, it's a position that's needed upgrading for a while. If don't get either though then this window has been a failure.

I get that and no one is suggesting we make a signing for the sake of it but surely our list of options isn't just Guehi

 

Whilst Ashley would go for target 10 or below, surely option 2/3 etc would improve us and if that's the case we should do it 

 

However, as I mentioned earlier there is still 10 days of the window left, I'll fully reserve judgment until then

Just Olise really.

[Groundhog63]

I think it's hilarious people ranting about how easy it should be to buy a CB and/or a RW. 

Apparently the market is awash with them. 

Notwithstanding the well chronicled problems we've got shifting extended squad members, Manure paid £82m for fucking Antony man. 

[Hhtoon]

Fucking hell...how quickly people have forgotten the relegation battles oh so very recently.

 

"Unacceptable window"

"failure"

"questions must be asked"

 

If it wasn't for FFP we'd have everything we wanted. It's just going to take a little longer and unfortunately, will either have to sell one of our top players or buy and flip youth talent ala Chelsea to build the squad ala Minteh. Which obviously sucks.

 

Honestly, sometimes I think that 4th spot set unrealistic expectations and turned some of the fanbase into spoilt brats.

[Shak]

If we signed Guehi and that was it I'd be pretty disappointed, have to say. Offset somewhat by the fact that Guehi is as close to a sure thing as you'll get, to be fair.

 

Back in early June, the idea that a young developmental striker like Osula would be our only signing in midfield or attack, while selling Minteh and Anderson, was near unthinkable. We have three players in Gordon, Barnes and Isak that I'm confident in playing extended periods of football this year as part of the front three without having some pretty severe limitations at this level exposed. Two of them play their best football in the same position.

 

If we sign nobody in the next week, I'll see it as a substantial failure.

 

Sign one of a RW and CB, it'll be a disappointment.

 

Sign both, it'll be good (obviously if we sign two worldies it's better than good, or if we sign two less highly rated players it maybe becomes just solid).

Crackers when we had people saying we should sell him. 

He's our heartbeat in our team an absolute warrior. 

[duo]

Is it the change of the PSR rules that has stuffed us?  As previously it was your spend over a three year period where now it's based on your income for the year?  I thought we'd have at least £150 Mil to spend based on us bringing in £60 mil

Its not the fans talking about ambitions and Europe is it?

[Likelylad]

I'm still confident we'll sign someone but if we don't sign either a CB or RW then the window is a big failure. 

Yes, there's extenuating circumstances but not improving the 1st team when we've managed to keep our key players would be a massive misstep.

Of course they are man 😂 

 

And of course it's the clubs overall aim. Just clearly going to take longer than maybe they'd hoped. I think they deserve some leeway myself. 

[andycap]

We turn our noses up at every fucker linked it seems. 

It's crazy thinking when our finances aren't great. 

When we bought gordon a lot thought he was no better than maxi

But howe has transformed him into a beast. 

So anyone we bring in could be developed the same way.

No need to call fans spoilt brats. Its a totally different club than under Ashley. The questions are fairly raised and almost everyone in here are trusting the people in charge.

Shit, Gomez is as good as signed then.

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Surely we can get better value for money abroad then paying tje "english tax" spunking 65-70m on Guehi and having nothing left in the pot.

 

As we will eventually have Botman, Schar, Kelly, Burn, Lascelles as CB when fit would it not make sense to spend the money on a RW as Almiron will be worth next to nowt in a years time and Murphy isnt good enough. Loan a CB (with maybe an option to buy) and sort the CB next summer when Burn and Schar are out of contract (maybe give Schar a years extension)

 

 

[Weezertron]

Personally, I won't judge the transfer window until it closes. And as you all know, that makes me an incredible person that you should all aspire to be.

Let’s hope we get a Speed, Solano Given, Hamann, & Pearce too. (Defo not a Hamilton!)

You don't think every club has a significant element of the fanbase that are spoilt/bedwetters? We are not better or worse than anyone else and it's part of football. No point pretending otherwise. 

 

Honestly, I'll be disappointed if we don't strengthen as I want us to be the best we can be. But I can understand why it may not happen and I won't disrespect the owners who have done so much for us by saying they've failed.
