KaKa Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 Why did we not go straight in with the same bid once he rejected Como?! Now the new manager has seen him in pre season and wants to keep him, and they are asking for much more money. My goodness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEFAFWISP Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 We wanted signings early and could've had this guy for £20 million a month ago. Top work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An international player is a player who regurarly gets picked to play. At least thats how I see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even worried about who the players are, as long as the manager sees something in them, as I trust him to get the best out of them. We just REALLY need to get the numbers in so we aren't left short! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer just keep on giving. He hates us these days doesn’t he. If its true they want to keep him though, i have a good idea, let's low ball them first and then waste 2 weeks on him eh?

christ Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 I’d like to propose a new forum rule - players can only be referred to as an ‘international’ if a) they played some minutes at the last major tournament their nation was part of, or b) have played in friendlies since the last major international tournament their nation was part of. I’d like to see the mods come down like a tonne of bricks on those who disobey too. Proper punitive sanctions. Bans and all sorts. Stop this silliness once and for all.

The Prophet Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 So we allegedly initiate talks with Milan. Hours later Romano is reporting they'd only accept a bid "completely outside of market value". Unfortunately it's going to be a theme for the rest of the window. We've left it so late clubs know we're desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 If we could see that our approach was completely wrong this window then how can people who are in senior positions at the club not see it and change course earlier?

We seem to have prioritised a striker, leaving CB and CM to later in the window. But we've made such a fucking hash of signing a forward, compounded by Isak asking to leave, that it's all dragged on to this stage. Again, no strategy or leadership at all.
