ffs Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:48 1 minute ago, oldtype said: It is simply not the case that other clubs read a Romano tweet about us being after a player and jump in to sign them. They have been talking to his agent the whole time, and the holdup in "completing" the deal was simply his agent stalling for time while calling Liverpool to ask if they won't trigger his release clause. If we had triggered his release clause two weeks earlier, than Liverpool would have just signed him then. There is realistically no way for us to sign any player if one of the "big clubs" has an interest in them, and we are going to get beaten to signings more often than others because we typically go after a better class of player, because we aspire to be one of the "big clubs" ourselves. If there is incompetence baked into this process it is only because we are targeting good players to begin with, when perhaps we should be aiming lower. word Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Tinfoil hat time, but it's starting to feel like they're just buying these players with their unlimited funds glitch to stop us at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Our squads getting weaker and weaker every season yet we're not getting any more competent at the top to put it right, every time we get "played" as some put it we always seem to be just below the release clause. This investigation last summer hasn't gone well so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Think I'm mostly annoyed for allowing myself to believe it was happening tbh. Wilson being here gave it that feeling of being a goer vs last summer. Fucking idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sick of this shit They are not only picking off our best players but also hoovering up all our replacements - you would think we learnt our lesson to act quickly.

We’ve fannied about again, it’s as simple as that By all accounts a lower fee was agreed by all parties so why would triggering the release clause have made a difference?

Obviously I don’t know the ins and outs but we have a reputation now of being the placeholder before being absolutely pied off, like every time. Any time we line up something positive we get cucked by a cartel team. So fucking sick of it, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_cowell141 Posted Wednesday at 22:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:51 At least we can sign a GK from Ligue 2 for 20m. I know that's harsh, and really hope the lad does well, but it feels like the only deals we can do are the ones no-one wants to do, for one reason or another.
