I think most of us assumed the money raised for selling Minteh and Anderson would be added to the pot to bring in at least two big signings. That looks like a pipe dream now.

Whitley mag Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Hhtoon said: If they have decided that Guehi is their number 1 target who will be with us for the best part of a decade, they may opt to wait year and try again from a stronger position of his 1 year left contract wise. I'd love to bring someone in as it's exciting and I'm sure there are players that would make some some improvement but I'd rather hold for the 1st choice than a backup for the sake of it. I think our 1st team is more than sufficient to get a European space this season. I don't think any player would get us top 4 at the mo. Could we lose Bruno or Isak? Yeah, but think we will anyway. I can't imagine they want to just play in the Champions League, they will want to win it and we aren't coming to be close to that for years. Plus it's pretty clear that with the financial restrictions, selling is out key revenue earner. God no don’t say we have to go through this in January as well, surely we have some self respect.

That looks like a pipe dream now. I think what's most frustrating is that at least a decent amount of money IS clearly there, but by all accounts it's Guehi or nothing. That mentality is understandable if you're Man City and the squad just needs minor tweaks/poster signings, but taking our squad into account, it's hard to believe that there are no alternatives that would improve us massively. Guehi will end up going to a champions league club once his value comes down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) I expected we won’t sign Guehi, but I genuinely didn’t expect we will sign fuck all. Seriously no fucking way we don’t have a plan B for Guehi after being quoted a ridiculous price several WEEKS ago. Anyone with common sense would go and explore / prepare / enquire other options as back up. And? We didn’t? Not even a loan or what? This is genuinely ridiculous, incompetent, unacceptable Edited August 29 by Zero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I understand the whole 'this is the one we want' factor with certain players. VVD was that for Liverpool, but are you honestly telling me that Marc Guehi is the only player that does what we need of him to the extent that we'll just not bother getting anyone else that ticks 99/100 boxes? I don't buy that for a second like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guehi will end up going to a champions league club once his value comes down. Guehi has got Liverpool all over him as a VVD replacement. £40m next summer, maybe even a move for more in January so he can be bedded in. Another player missed out to a direct rival we eventually want to challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a silly comparison at the basic level, Vvd was as close to a flawless cb as you could find, Mark Guehi for his strengths is even close and has the obvious flow of being pretty weak in the air. Also, the league has move on from when Liverpool bought VVD it’s much more competitive now and as many others have pointed out , standing still and waiting around is going backwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Window is a 2/10, we kept Bruno and Isak otherwise it would be a zero. Tosin - we got played by the player. Guehi - 4 week saga Osula - Hasn't played a minute Vladdy - PSR dodgy deal, chance we get punished for it Anderson - 15m is the true price shame for him to leave Minteh - sold to a rival, would likely be our starting RW too. Ruddy - Not sure why we brought him in Havent been able to shift - Lewis, Hayden, Miggy, Fraser, Targett, Dubravka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
