Villatillidie95 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Still not made any signings and Schmeicel is in Nice waiting to sign on the dotted line. Expect they will want to dip into the free transfer market and I do reckon they will lose maddision before the window shuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 5, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2022 Pereira out for six months, possibly losing Fofana and Maddison and Brendan saying it's unlikely they'll be making any signings. Could be a difficult season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Griffin Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The BR presser was depressing. No signings coming in, he doesn't want to sell Fofana or Madisson but ultimately the decision is up to the club. He respects the position the club is in and is focusing on working with the players he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be tough for him, I remember he was quality for them in that first year. He spent a lot of time out back then for an ACL too, awful news 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should test their resolve for Ndidi lol. Would prob be way out of our price bracket tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 They seem like they're going to struggle this season? We really should be leap-frogging over them in the league if we have ambitions for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR looked and sounded so dejected in the interview, its worse live than the text. We are so lucky we are not like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a long tough season for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It's really good for us if they're struggling. Without Europe, I thought they'd be right up there again. Lost two players who would be starting most games just before season starts, nightmare for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B is interesting because it seems the father who died in the helicopter accident was a huge part of the club building up. Maybe the son is not so keen to continue it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally a bit gutted for them… They became “the peoples club” after their miracle title win… Theyve obviously progressed a bit since then with a couple of cup wins and staying in the top 8/10… but having the Uber rich pick them apart year after year and not being able to attract suitable replacements sucks for them… Edited August 10, 2022 by DJ_Villain Wrong terminology 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
