There was loads of signs that Anderson was going to become a very good player. You not being able to spot it, doesnt make it so.

 

100m pound combative midfielder? Perhaps not but there was clearly a quality player there.

Agreed, not just saying it either but I was always a huge Anderson fan and used to get annoyed he wasn't selected more by Howe, just like I do when Hall gets dropped now or Miley sits on the bench.

They wanted us to take Joe Gomez at a 45m valuation Iirc we would have got like 30m for Gordon. It wasn't a good deal. 

Assuming you value Joe Gomez at £0.

Not quite, but it's hard to reach a 45m valuation for a guy who is very injury prone and never locked down a position.  

 

But frankly, it's hard to find value in the premier league and we are ultimately PSR constrained.

Is he on his hols?

[Miggys First Goal]

Had a falling out with Eddie. Gone to the WC. 

[BottledDog]

Hope he washes his hands.

[duo]

He needs to take a leaf out of Brightons book when it comes to negotiating the fee for Tonali

Time to up your game bonny lad

Signings are harder than sales 

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

When we signed our second choice keeper before the window officially opened we were all convinced we had deals ready to go quickly, how wrong we were.

The real tests are

 

Getting good money for players you don't want. Think Willock,

And being able to bring in player's by fending off competition. 

 

As a club we struggle with both of these. It's unknown weather this is something Wilson can improve on.

Why was he hated by Rangers fans?

Because they forgot to sell their best assets after they lost all their value.

Again, we didn't look for best in class when we appointed him. We specifically looked for someone who can work well with the manager. 

 

Our football expertise stops at Eddie Howe.

Look at Jordan man. Like a Cheshire Cat when Foster mentions he gets texts from Levy. 

 

Mind you, I don't disagree. £52m for a solid if not spectacular defender who's quite slow is mental.

Can't we just check the forecast?

Aren't all Scottish blokes tight arses?

Great point and I think last summer was really demonstrative of this. Most of us thought we ended up having a decent window last summer, come December scores were revised

After Wissa tore the Portuguese to shreds today I now put the window at a 9/10 but Eddie just couldn’t handle the talent.

I mean sure but I see no benefit to being disappointed three months in advance.
