Problem is that the journalists are often treating speculation as fact. They haven't had the best track record since our takeover.

 

 

 

There's a very clear pattern of so many journalists and commentators saying 'black' and then when white happens, retrospectively asserting how white was inevitable, usually citing a previous tweet from their scattergun approach.

Seems to me folks choose to believe the worst of everything, when half the time they rubbish what these guys report.

 

There's been just as many reports saying we have other options that we've been working in concurrently, and that we are still looking at options for the right wing.

 

We'll know for sure in a few days.

 

 

Not long now before we can slam this fucker shut!

What’s for sure is we don’t have massive room PSR wise

It’s a lot of money but a signing like this has a few positive knock on effects aside from the obvious ones. It will surely placate Gordon for a start and will also send the message to other players and even fans that the club will spend to improve the team. Another huge bonus would be keeping Howe happy if he’s desperate for him. 

[Alberto2005]

Shame we probably won't get a RW, but at least it's not Gomez or Disasi if it goes through.

I need an Ornstein tweet to convince me this happens.

It's infuriating given how careful I have had to be reporting on anything with my latest gig, especially when we could easily fall into a defamtion suit if we aren't as careful as possible.

[Heron]

I honestly don't see the worry or clamour for RW. If we shore up our defence, we'll be fine. We scored goals for fun last season we just conceded far too many.

As Heron said it’s just Sensationalist language that journalists like to use. I very much doubt they mean he’s on his knees hands clasped. Could simply mean he’s been on at them. Mon tae fuck this is nothing new you need to see past it, read between the lines etc. it’s a journalists job to sensationalise. Hardly catches the eye if they report “Howe’s been askin again”

Likewise - it is an area which could obviously be improved, but we scored more goals last season than we’d ever scored in the top flight in my lifetime.  Don’t see the desperation.

The previous year we had one of best defences in the league. Same group of players. No league season is the same. If Gordon has a few more off games than he did last season for example. The RW is an issue. If Trippier isn’t going to start as many games or even be here you’ll soon see how much of an issue it’ll be. Trippier got 10 assists last season. 9 more than Almiron

Just had a look and we scored 85 - so 2.2 goals per game (rounded down). Scoring goals isn't our issue.

To pinch Carlin's metaphor a bit - the transfer window is a complete and utter freak show, being a Newcastle fan gives you a front row seat.

 

We're all watching it but we just get a closer look at it

Think it's just the natural in-built thing with football fans to want attacking players. We definitely still need an RW like, have done for a while, but I'm okay with waiting for the right player, just so long as they are, and that the players we get the meantime vindicate Eddie's approach. He's been right up until now and I'm more than happy to trust him.

It's not the issue folk are making it out to be. If we add Guehi and get Schar and Botman back. We'll be fine.

At this point we just need a first team signing to lift the tension and give us a boost. Ideally we won’t be paying so much there we go.

 

I hope moving forward we start shopping abroad again

As a side note, Palace are absolute whoppers.

Perhaps management is wanting to see if Eddie can get this team back into the CL with a limited schedule this year? Then they will trust him with a £100m winger.
