Sibierski Posted Thursday at 15:27 Share Posted Thursday at 15:27 First leaks of who’s to blame. I’m shocked. Mitchell for me, will want to bring in players that can have profit. If Howe is saying this or no-one, it’s drawing an early battle between the two and club will have to back one long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our amortised transfers and salaries are pretty much at 100% of projected income. We haven’t done anything commercially significant this summer. Where did our bids for Guehi come from, then? Did we make bids that we couldn't afford? Edit: I read something else that what you were typing, sorry. But it does beg the question as to why we didn't find any other options that were worth clawing back money on, if Guehi for that price was.

Cheers, mate. That was a close call. Did you see how much we were going to spend?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted Thursday at 15:34 Share Posted Thursday at 15:34 I’m a big fan of Guehi, but I can accept club drawing a line at the fee getting close to £70m, as he’s not some god tier talent that’s unattainable elsewhere. Just not having no other back up options, is criminal when we’re playing Krafth ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However… Would you rather back EH & the current squad during a season without European distractions and get the RCB & RW we WANT next summer without selling Bruno/Isak/Gordon and hope we get top 4-6. Or… Would you want that RCB & RW this summer and have a greater chance of making top 4 and winning a cup you’d think BUT regardless if you do achieve it or you don’t you MUST lose two of Bruno/Isak/Gordon to pay for them albeit 12 months down the line so possibly being even worse off? That is the possible dilemma this window seems to be posing that not enough on here are understanding. Transformative can be achieved in so many ways. Don’t equate it only to spending big this window like most of you are. Edited Thursday at 15:36 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted Thursday at 15:36 Share Posted Thursday at 15:36 Who knows what’s gone on but it’ll eventually come out if there has been an issue. Worse case scenario Howe decides he doesn’t have enough control and does the off to England. Let’s just see how this plays out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue with them doing that but less than 48hrs before the window ends with no obvious back up that we know of yet is ridiculous. Who knows what’s happened, was someone saying “let’s move on” the other saying “keep pushing for him” Edited Thursday at 15:39 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted Thursday at 15:40 Share Posted Thursday at 15:40 I’d assume we’ve walked away now and will pursue another target over the next 24 hours? Or, Howe will go with what he has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t equate it only to spending big this window like most of you are. I personally would've rather bitten the bullet and sold just 1 of those 3, probably Gordon, and refreshed the team with the money from his sale rather than have the window we're currently having. As Isak is irreplaceable for me as is Bruno's character (and that we are incapable of winning matches without him even against the most rancid opposition). Regardless of that, we've been bidding for/chasing Guehi for the better part of a month so we have money to spend. If its true that we think Guehi and Guehi only can improve this team for £65m, it's an absolute joke. Edited Thursday at 15:43 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be more confident of Howe staying than Mitchell if it was one or the other who was chopped in near future due to tensions. Howe effectively would need to be languishing mid table to be under threat, as owners not stupid IMO and know how much backing Howe has and that goes a long way to keeping eyes off ownership.
