Its absolutely pointless getting worked up over every tiny update on every thread, as if everything is always gospel. Just see how it plays out, then judge it with the squad we have come the start of the season / the end of the window. The catastrophizing in every thread is even more tedious to read than the updates. May as well shut the forum down then. That's like saying people can't criticise something that happens in a match until the match is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For context, those are good points however, when we've already lost two first teamers on this tour and our best player is sitting at home, a "Raft" of players is not nearly enough.

Because Man Utd may or may not have sent a delegation to Germany to negotiate for a player we may or may not be in for, and said player who we may or may not be in for may or may not prefer them to us.

If you say so the internet isn’t made up it’s real football fans. Whether you count them or not. We are all fans on here but we are also contributing to the ‘internet fantasy transfer world’ are you suggesting our opinions on here don’t matter or reflect ‘the real world’ Guys & women in pubs & workplaces all over the country will be laughing at us losing out to another target and honestly if this was another club we’d all be laughing at them too. it’s delusion to think otherwise.

Unless it's 0-0 after half an hour and we're playing poorly. So much can still happen in this window, it doesn't take that long to sign a player, providing the cartel aren't interested.

I get we've been burnt this summer, but the constant catastrophising really needs to stop like, its way over the top. I think people should be free to post what they want as long as it's respectful and within the rules. In terms of Sesko, the Norwegian pundit has said he wants Manchester United and Ornstein has said man united are on the case. We've been chucked by them twice already (if you believe the report's) so yeah I think people are ok to be a bit frustrated given how the expectations of this summer are the opposite of how it's going.

Would you rather us just go for shitter players? We've had amazing windows before where we didn't go for the same players as Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd etc. There are other players out there. The fact that they are trying to sign players doesn't make them competent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, still plenty of time to turn things round in the match, but people are surely allowed to complain that Pope keeps kicking the ball out or Trippier's corners never beat the front man? Then they can celebrate if Tonali hits a worldie. That's the point of the forum, isn't it? We're not here to be someone's Wiki. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet is definitely made up with people who i wouldnt consider real football fans, yes. Nobody is in a pub laughing at us, well they are probably laughing but its more likely laughing at how ridiculous people behave whenever there is a bump in the road. Other than a concern among the general fan base, I dont think most fans ascribe to pissing their pants and throwing their toys out the pram simply because things aren't all together rosy in the garden.

There's plenty of non-fiction going on in the transfer window, that is painfully obvious. Are people saying that people shouldn't moan about things like losing out on targets because we might sign Muniz who one day might score an important goal for us? It's a forum.
