andycap Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Mitchell at Monaco got rid of loads of players and brought in loads of young talent to be developed aswell as having the policy of bringing two or three every year from the u21s to the first team. Do you think howe would be happy with that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) 1 hour ago, SAK said: To be fair from memory that was a placard put up by some fans and became some sort of rallying call around the time the takeover stalled. Don’t think anyone genuinely believed it and it doesn’t obligate others to adhere to the sentiment. With new owners and performance improvement it’s natural to want more and to push on and I wouldn’t blame anyone for having higher expectations now compared to the Ashley era. In saying that the constant moaning doesn’t help anyone. Just find there’s no middle ground on the forum with two extremes. The “pipe down, be happy with your lot, remember how shit it was under Ashley” camp and the “Everything’s shit, PIF don’t care, Brexit Eddie’s ruining our plans” camp. To be honest it does just feel like a small group of people projecting their own problems onto things. I could just not rise to it tbf Edited August 26 by Theregulars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hates them on a par with Sunderland. Bizarre post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us truly know what happens behind the scene but this window has been more of the same when it comes to shipping out our average players.

andycap Posted Monday at 21:54 Share Posted Monday at 21:54 Mitchell maybe is thinking Guehi is a lot of money for us to put down for him. And might not be how he works as a sporting director. He was probably hired for his eye for a player and to get good deals in to benefit the club in our tricky ffp scenario to keep us clear of that mad rush we had a couple of month back.

Theregulars Posted Monday at 22:46 Share Posted Monday at 22:46 6 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: We're so close to PSR limits because we've literally pushed as far as we can without breaking limits or selling star players. Commercially we're back ahead of "the pack" but obviously still way off the Sky 6. We're 3 years in and we're competing with clubs who've been building their infrastructures and contacts for 20-30 years, we stood still for 14 of those. We're still pushing for a player that would be a club record transfer if we get it. Opinions on if he's worth it, if that's best use of £60m plus are natural but there's been some fucking drivel on here. I think drivel is too mild mate. Some of it is psychodrama and a good chunk just actual fiction but somehow for the sake of winding oneself up. I find it bizarre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn is nailed on (if no signing) until the new year if Botman returns. That doesn’t stand up to the most elemental of scrutiny: they play in the same position and Murphy has started in place of him twice. Even if we didn’t sign anyone else they’re not guaranteed starters if they don’t play well enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted Monday at 23:03 Share Posted Monday at 23:03 On the flip side, aside from maybe Brighton (and they’ve still lost their best and IMO most important player from last season in Groß) and West Ham (bought a lot of West Hammy players) would anyone say they’ve nailed the window? Not so sure. Almost like buying guaranteed starters in a competitive marketplace is a fraught old game. (I’m sure there’s some I’ve missed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
