We should have tried harder to fine value in the market instead of paying the premiums we paid. Especially as we are crying poor again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Value was buggered as a concept as soon as it became clear Isak was off. You'd wager it was an open secret. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sure, why not blame Howe for all of that. Striker targets, yes. But I believe Elanga was our top target for that right wing position, right? And was Ramsey really the best we could get for £43m? I get that Eddie fanboys don't like to hear a bad word said about him, but where it is due it should be dished out. His influence on our transfer policy is well documented, and last summer it fucked us in at least two key positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s never not going to be a consideration for any football club regardless of size or success Those 6 still have completely different levels of extent and consideration. We aren't allowed to catch up and never will be. I've not made my peace with that yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Óscar Mingueza been linked here before hasn't he? Free in the summer. I still think Robertson would be a good acquisition - like the trips one was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought similar the other day, should’ve wrapped on signing Wissa from Brentford and signed whoever the fuck scouted their forward acquisitions the last few year 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The January window being more difficult, is that not just a myth? Lots of players unhappy with lack of playing time players going into 18 months left on their contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of players unhappy with lack of playing time players going into 18 months left on their contract. The general lack of activity across the board would suggest it isn't a myth, but we've managed to find value there before when we had to. January 22 is arguably still the best value transfer window we've had under PIF (Chris Wood aside). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyUtd Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It's 2040 and ex Real Madrid and Newcastle midfielder Lewis Miley is to take a player-manager role at his boyhood club. "We won't be bringing any new players in" opined Miley. "The Alexander Isak money is gone and due to PSR we are severely hamstrung. We'll just have to get used to another year in the Championship." Head of recruitment, Sammy Ameobi, says next summer will be where we concentrate all our transfer business. PIF were approached to comment but they're all too busy playing golf.

Ellis H Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Howe is the kind of person to go to buy a telly online and listen to the 1 bad rewiew out of thousands. He's the most glass half empty manager I've ever seen in terms of transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
