tbh I can’t be bothered with your nonsense :lol: if Sunderland had been rejected as much as we have been you’d be in the Sunderland thread giddy as fuck. You are being disingenuous at best. It was a throw away point you’ve somehow made a big deal out of…again  

 

 

 

 

We clearly dont get on like. Every time you talk shite, I call you out and then you cry. Now you are spouting about Sunderland. Im barely in that thread.

 

Stop making stupid points and I'll stop correcting you. I wont be replying to you again because you cant take in basic stuff.

I actually watch Bundesliga weekly and have serious doubts his style of play will translate well to the Prem (personally feel that Openda is better suited actually).

 

In what way? Only Dennis Wise scouted him so I'm going off of shit info but he looks fairly quick, good feet, and powerful in the air.

I’m not crying my point was valid. You had a hissy fit about it. You have a very unfortunate way of speaking to people. You haven’t corrected me once you’ve disagreed with my point which is fine. Now hush kid

Anyone think that, perversely, this window might have gone better if we hadn't made CL :lol:

 

It seems like we'd have maybe gone down the road of good players that the ESL pricks don't want and therefore we might actually have gotten more of our targets. Dunno, bored af with it all and spit-balling mostly but it has occurred to me a couple of times.

We’d have also waved goodbye to probably 2 of our purples. Isak plus another. So no, happy to be in the CL.

Was only referring to the window in general, not the overall impact to our squad which would have been bad. It's bad enough now, Christ knows what the speculation will be like a year from now if we don't make CL again which is the cartel's brief it seems.

Hojlund strikes me as a stroppy brat, could easily see him turning down Leipzig just because he wants to go to Real Madrid.

Why do these clubs always get fucking bailed out when players don't work out? Hojlund a dream target FFS.

Well certainly we could get more deals done if we went for worse players.

And therein lies one of the main issues with this window. We're just not pivoting at all. Players a notch below what the cartel want can still be good players that can be developed. One target at a time, gazumped by one of the ESL creeps, move on, wait a week, bid for another. No wonder we're struggling to sign what we need.

Was saying the same yesterday. Up until now we have got little or no benefit from it. Obviously the extra money, but as a pull, no dont see it.

Begs the question, how are we perceived by the majority of players with no ties to the club? Are we seen as a big-time project with huge potential, an elite coach, massive fanbase, great players etc? I think for the majority of our fans, that's how i'd categorize us, certainly until this summer. Or are we just seen as number 7/8 on the list of clubs most players are looking to join when looking at the PL?

 

You're an up and coming talent with big potential and looking to move (Pedro, Ekitike etc). You say to your agent, I want to play for a top PL side. Here's my list, it's Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs in roughly that order. If I can't get one of those, i'll settle for Villa or Newcastle if they'll pay me the wages? Is that the limit of our appeal? 7 or 8 on a list?

The pull of CL is there if you are going up against Villa or Brighton. But the pull of a superclub is more if you are going up against Chelsea, Liverpool or Man U.
