I asked if we’ve pulled out / if it’s over, and was just told “no”. Its all part of the brinksmanship I think, although I do think we’ll have other irons in fires too. Oh yeaaaah we are back in the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyUtd Posted Thursday at 14:33 Share Posted Thursday at 14:33 This has turned into nothing short of a shitshow. Playing fkn mind games over an alleged £5million when we should have moved on ages ago. Whoever we go for now will know they weren't our priority and we've left ourselves 36 hours to get deals done. I've loved the journey thus far but this reeks of not wanting to really spend. Been here before and it's shite. We won't struggle this season but we won't challenge either. Bit of a let down in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much confidence from our side over the last few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Palace want £90M and Isak. Guehi isn't worth more than £40M, so we would have avoided overpaying. Would really like a 6-month loan deal for a CB though till Botman and Lascelles are back.

In today’s market £55m-£60m is perfectly reasonable for a player with his attributes / leadership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost a MF, RW, Utility, GK and a DF, brought in a DF, ST and 2 GKs. It's absolutely piss poor even by that metric, let alone us making the starting XI better.

KaKa Posted Thursday at 14:40 Share Posted Thursday at 14:40 There's no way we just shut up shop because we can't get this guy, surely. That would be so lame. I'm going to wait till the window shuts, but I have some pretty harsh thoughts if the Guehi deal doesn't happen, and we just do nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted Thursday at 14:44 Share Posted Thursday at 14:44 26 minutes ago, TRon said: Can only be FFP/PSR fears which are preventing us from making short term signings. We saw what happened in June, so I think that's what is preventing us from making signings unless we are 100% sold on them. After the Hall and Osulu transfers in July, and our failure to sell anyone, I’m struggling to see where the numbers to buy more come from - I still think that Guehi is one of those where because of his quality, the club would sign him now and claw back money later - either in Jan or June. Our amortised transfers and salaries are pretty much at 100% of projected income. We haven’t done anything commercially significant this summer.

Novocastrian Posted Thursday at 14:46 Share Posted Thursday at 14:46 Brinkmanship only works if you are holding the upper hand. I think Palace would be quite happy to keep hold of Guehi for another season. They don’t need to sell, at this point we either walk away empty handed with the window closed or meet their demands and look weak by overpaying. Either way it’s not a good look.

LFEE Posted Thursday at 14:48 Share Posted Thursday at 14:48 (edited) 1 hour ago, Mazzy said: If we miss any opportunity to improve as a squad, we will only find ourselves further behind everyone else. We have been playing catch up for 3 years, we can't afford to slip further behind by once again not making the necessary improvements to the team. Saying "oh we'll sign someone next window" is not a good enough reason/excuse. This was that next window, this was meant to be the transformative window where we'd go that step further. Maybe it still will be, there is time of course, but it doesn't look that way currently. You’ve highlighted the problem that is PSR and not the making of NUFC’s finances or ambition. We’ve have been playing catchup for 3 years and its cost the club a lot of money. We’ve maxed out every season our PSR card. Probably over maxed it judging by last January and July scramble. Anyway. No more PSR talk. As Woody Allen said “too much reality is not what the people want…” Edited Thursday at 14:49 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
