Shearergol Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Just now, bowlingcrofty said: Other clubs can improve their first team with cheaper signings, and pay them lower wages because they're not the 'richest club in the world' and therefore having agents try to gouge their fucking eyeballs out. They can then get them moved on easier for the same reason. Man City can do what the fuck they want because they're Man City and the rules either don't apply to them, or were written partially for their benefit. I don’t even understand what point you’re making now. We’ve only actually signed squad fillers this window. What if Osula is the next Ryan Fraser?

Either a Howe early season implosion or roll the dice again with a DoF. I’m not saying either is right because I’m not really sure what went so badly wrong.

nufcjmc Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 At risk of causing any further internal fracturing we just need to pass transfers to Mitchell whatever Summer list we had put it in the bin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 well to hang fire didn't improve a fucking thing. Utter shambles, piss poor showing from the club, can't be arsed to pick the bones out of who and why, we'll never know. Lett's crack on with the league eh, starting by dismantling Spuds, there's nowt new there, is there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) Window's been an unmitigated failure tbh and we're asking Howe to overachieve to get Europe again. Everything crossed he can but it shouldn't have had to be like this. Edited August 30, 2024 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it’s a gamble. That’s why you employ the best staff to ensure the risk is less. Schar breaking his leg against wolves is a much bigger risk though.

Scotty66 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Really disappointed we haven't at least found a young understudy for RW. We did it for ST and we also should have done it for CB. There must be someone out there, 19-23, between 500k and 5 million, decent potential who can strengthen that area of the team. Norway,Belgium,Denmark,Portugal,Turkey..etc There's really no one in any of those leagues that can be a hidden gem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure between 500k and 5 million is gonna get you much in that climate sadly. Stupid thing about all of this is that I don't disagree that it's been a poor window - I just disagree with chucking toys out of the pram like petulant bairns when we've been on a steady improvement path for 3 years and we're impeded by the rules designed to impede us.

kingxlnc Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 If we hadn’t sold Anderson and Minteh and the rest of the window was exactly as it has been, I’d still have said it’s poor but would have had hope that Minteh is a potential new signing in a problem position, and Anderson is a utility player so can cover LW, RW, CM etc where required. without those two it’s genuinely been a disaster Kelly is literally the only new signing we can use. Osula might be too raw and get the Hall treatment most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matta Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) This window has to be a embarrasing failure for the mighty saudis? Seems like a setback for their plan. With our fifth choice Krafth starting premier league games 2 games into the season its hard to see great progress this year. Hopefully fewer games and a potentially very good squad without injuries can prove this transfergamble wrong. Atleast beat spurs for starters!

They bear no significance to this one, because they were sold to solve a PSR Issue for last year, not this one. Such are the stupid fucking rules we have to play by.

Signing a centre-back on a free-transfer whilst we had two-centre backs out injured for several months ahead getting thrown under the bus now too is it.
