I think we'll all be glad when this one is done and dusted either way.

 

Some programme notes from him that would have been written earlier in the week.

Fair.

 

It'll be interesting to see if it'll be more relief or excitement when this finally gets done

[Memphis]

Tedious. Fucking tedious. Shit or get off the pot. 

[Sibierski]

Speaking with Palace for over 3 months and we can’t land one of their fuckers  Piss poor. 

[Tiresias]

Rather embarrassing to be strung along so long. Just look elsewhere already.

[Mazzy]

Will be such an anti climax if this happens now. Can't begin to describe how done I am with any more news about fucking Palace/Parish/Glasner/Guehi.

[KaKa]

Are all fans like this over these deals that take ages?

 

Because there's been a fair few at other clubs this summer.

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

Our backroom setup is beginning to look very amateurish.

I reckon if we didn't think we'd sign him, there'd be reports of a concrete bid for an alternative by now. It might run up to a day or two before the deadline but I still think we get him.

Are you losing your head because other people are losing their heads?

Express a none happy clap opinion about the current setup and you get the "But we once had Mike and Charnley" brigade.

 

We've been strung along all summer by Palace and we're at a week left with no signings except a young lad to really kick on the squad.

 

Wtf are we doing?

Wait, anything less moderate than calling the backroom setup "amateurish" is happy clapping?

I'd be more worried if we wanted a player and did what we used to do. Walk away, "we tried", rinse and repeat for the next few targets, then end up with a mid-table Ligue 1 player.

 

We clearly want him, clubs are going to play hardball with him, if we don't get him or an alternative then obviously questions should be asked.

Well that's kind of the point isn't it? You, just like the rest of us, don't know what we're doing.

 

We don't know what the budget is. We don't know how the negotiations with Palace have gone. We don't know how far along we are with other targets and how quickly we can bring them in if needed. 

 

What we do know is that our transfer strategy so far has seen us go from nailed-on relegation to challenging for Europe for the last two seasons. So perhaps we give them the benefit of the doubt, at least until the transfer window is over? Or does that qualify as "happy clap opinion"?

 

As far as our business so far goes, here's a line from the Athletic about last week;

 

Quote

Across those 17 clubs, only 14 new signings started at the weekend. Only three clubs — Brighton & Hove Albion, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers — fielded more than one new signing from the outset. More clubs — Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest — started with an entire side who were at the club in 2023-24.
