Go bid for that defender they want, then pull out last min.

[BennyBlanco]

Time to move on was last week. Today takes the biscuit though. Fuck them off and get some fresh legs into that squad who will push the starters ffs.

IF  this doesn’t happen, does it suit and fit the “we tried” keeping our powder dry narrative? Something very off with this like.

That’s out the Ashley playbook.

Prices rise and all that, but £75m would make him a top 25 transfer of all time. He'd be level with VVD for the third highest fee ever for a defender, behind Maguire and Gvardiol.

Yes we have definitely had the piss taken out of us.

I don’t know who’s more stupid, Palace for their ridiculous demands or us for being strung along by that goblin Parish.

[gdm]

£75m hope he has a horrendous season 

[Andy84]

I’m sure steinburg is unreliable also tbf 

[HayDen Traces]

The squad looks flat. The lack of signings looks to have effected our mental state so far this season

Bailey reported months ago that we are very close to signing Thiaw. 

 

doesn't look good, but he isn't trustworthy.

edit. Ok now Edwards is saying the same. On to the next target then.

Any update on us trying to sign Ryan Giggs ?

Again nothing of actual substance in either of those articles. Just hedging bets.

Fucking amateurs.

I mean, I feel like we are a bit more desperate than before for a decent CB.  But we went back in for Botman after missing out the first time.  I wonder if that is the plan here.  Don't go in at a ridiculous price and chance your arm in January or next summer at a much more sensible fee.

 

Of course that significantly opens the door to a lot of other clubs when the price is more reasonable.  Clubs who could offer better terms, a better league position, Europe etc.

In fairness if a load of journalists come out with the same thing at the same time it usually means someone has been briefing the media.

I think the reason we’ve persisted here is because we know that we’ve got next to no chance once his value starts to drop.

Just waiting for us to loan one of the bomb squad now and go back for him in Jan. 

[Kid Icarus]

There really is no sense of bedwetting or hyperbole about this like, it's been objectively pathetic the way they've gone about this.

Aye.  Probably true.  

 

Tough one, as all signs point to him being our number one target.  The same way Botman was.  So we were happy to wait.  But I think if we wait here we'll end up in a mess at the back with our current CB options and we'll miss out on him next year, anyway.

John Percy is extremely reliable as well, at least with Midlands clubs anyway

100% and we’ve only got ourselves to blame. The price they quoted was a fuck off price to begin with yet we kept barking up the palace tree. (Embarrassed twice in one summer by palace is indeed hilarious).
