Just asking for a bid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Purslow is not going to talk about further recruits. He was trying to divert the focus to the players we have got, and how they had a contingency plan in place should we lose Jack. In years gone by we would have been ****, back peddling and panic buying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khizzy Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I can't see us signing Cantwell now that we've replaced Grealish with the three players named by Purslow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 12 minutes ago, MaVilla said: yes, he didnt say we werent buying more players, he said effectively that they have looked to replace Grealish in the aggregate, with Buendia, Ings and Bailey, ie: matched his output by improving 3 key areas specifically. More likely improve on his output since they probably all won't miss a huge chunk of the season. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the top clubs just need to take the best players off potential challengers to stay on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say we are going to keep spending otherwise everyone puts their prices up. Better to appear to have spent the Grealish money in advance than say we still have £100m to spend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 5 minutes ago, dudevillaisnice said: Maybe I’m wrong but I thought Purslow denied it? Either way not bothered anymore. They denied he had one in his previous contract. No such comment after the new one he signed last year. No comment either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MwAv808 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Really hope this doesn’t mean that’s the end of our business, replacing jack with 3 is great and all, but if you simply replace Jack it’s still the team that finished bottom half of the league? I know it’s not that simple but surely we needed to move forward from last season not just stand still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've bent over backwards to get him to stay and be happy and hopefully buy into the future and yet he continued to want out. I wouldn't be surprised if they let a few digs slip.

I don't know where people are getting the impression that our transfer business is done. All he said was that the Grealish replacements had been signed to replace his key attributes.

Popular Post ferguson1 Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 First rule of transfer dealing with other clubs, don’t show your hand. He’s being very clever in stating we’ve now replaced Jack with the 3 mentioned. I guarantee we’re still in for a couple more. Just doesn’t want us to be held to ransom. Classy guy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Purslow always speaks so well. You can tell he was fuming really. Very noticeable that he didn't wish him luck. I'm so glad he didn't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
