Scoot Posted Thursday at 16:01 Share Posted Thursday at 16:01 (edited) 56 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Hope doing a Hope. Well for starters Howe himself said he liked Thiaw very much. He was asked about him in 1 of the pre season press conferences. So there's another option Mitchell had. Not to mention Tosin who we were after before Mitchell arrived. The club have failed to deliver all 3. It seems Eddie had more than 1 on his list so Hope can fuck off the shit stirring arsehole. Its the club that have failed here, not Howe. And to add to that, those 3 are just the names we know of. Edited Thursday at 16:07 by Scoot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed we're not getting the CB we need, still think we'll push top 5 and it'll be an enjoyable season. We’re just rolling the dice more I think. Without key injuries and getting the likes of Tonali and eventually Botman back I think we can have a very strong season. Lose a few key players and without using the window to strengthen it will have a very negative impact on our season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just lost Willock again for what's likely to be many weeks, Miley picked up a freak injury prior to the season even starting and is still some way off returning, our two CBs remain long-term wounded, and then there's Wilson... We're arguably already experiencing a minor injury crisis. Just takes one or two more to drop and we'll have big problems.

This is it, it's the uncertainty that kills. It could simply be that they feel there are no attainable CBs other than Guehi of the required quality, so they've decided to roll the dice. On the hand there could be a professional conflict between Howe and Mitchell. The week or two after the window will be quite telling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot say what will happen next summer so confidently because you have absolutely no idea. In therapy this is called cognitive distortion (of the "fortune telling" and "catastrophizing" variety) and they are irrational thoughts that are not based in reality.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted Thursday at 16:06 Share Posted Thursday at 16:06 I would normally be a bit more receptive to the benefits of having an injury-free squad with no major additions, but our performances so far this season have been concerning. We needed new additions to freshen things up, even with the reintegration of Tonali. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted Thursday at 16:07 Share Posted Thursday at 16:07 Still think we might be trying to do a couple of deals that will surpise us tomorrow... Trafford, an alternative defender from somewhere, maybe even a winger, and or all of those on loans with obligation or whatever. Just because the usual journo's aint cottoned on, it could all be done under the radar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good and we should expect and accept a lot of disappointment for this window, but FFS some on here have been abysmal self-victimizing cynics for the whole damn summer. And you think being relentlessly positive is more sickening than the opposite? Most people would probably much prefer hanging out with an optimist than a pessimistic buzzkill.

Dr Venkman Posted Thursday at 16:08 Share Posted Thursday at 16:08 9 minutes ago, TRon said: If nothing else comes from this window other than Howe doing his job coaching and Mitchell bringing in future players unhindered, I'll count it as a win. I suppose so? I think they do need to be working together. I have just always sensed that EH doesn't see himself as a head coach (constantly refers to himself as the manager) and those comments from Eales stuck out massively. EH will not have appreciated them at all, IMO. Whether that does mean some bad shit is going on behind the scenes, who knows. But add that to the lack of progress on the first team and it's not a great look IMO. I'm not feeling downhearted about this season, we've got a good squad with some excellent players in some positions and a fantastic head coach. It's all a bit weird transfer wise though. MG will probably sign tomorrow and that will be that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were actually in for him (which I don't think was ever confirmed), maybe he didn't want to sign for us Just because I fancy Michelle Collins and DM her on Insta to see if she wants to go on a date doesn't mean we'll end up sat in The Gunner with a pint of John Smiths each and a packet of ribbed Durex in her purse Edited Thursday at 16:09 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performances and results have often been up and down. I’m going to go and look at the Bournemouth seasons when I can be arsed. As I keep seeing this slow start mentioned and feels like it’s a bit early to be making a snap judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
