They may look at us now as a team on the up. Exactly this. People are already starting to identify the relegation candidates (Fulham, Boggies, Sheff Utd, Burnley), and those who 'could get dragged in' (West Ham, Newcastle, Southampton, Brighton) - and we're not in there at the moment. Add the fact we've got through 2x cup games by playing pretty much a 2nd 11 in both games (albeit against lower league teams, who have also made changes), and could be through the quarters by Friday - so 2 games from another trip to Wembley. We just look a more attractive proposition to any player than we were a month ago. I also think that the club don't leak stories, but aren't against using the media tactically to get what we want. I was never convinced we really wanted Wilson or King, and we got Watkins over the line a day or 2 later. Same with all the talk about Romero (and these weren't lazy rumours - they came from people who do know stuff, particularly at the Man U end), and we end up with Martinez. Suddenly we want Barkley or Loftus-Cheek - I'm not convinced given wages and our apparently being against loans without a buy option, or in an emergency, and it could be smoke screen to get another deal done. Or maybe Chelsea will let us have Barkley for a year free of charge to apologise for Drinkwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind they are in an absolute desperate need of players. And what player would want to join that mess?? I see no escape for Fulham. I know it's early, but imo they are proper doomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Boggies. Getting in Ivanovic and talk of Adebayor. If Covid gets worse, some of their squad might have to isolate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 9 hours ago, juanpablosaliceband said: Exactly. Compare that to Sheffield United, considering what they did last season. Huge swing in perception in just a couple of games. I would say it also the combined form since project restart. The seasons seem to have bled into one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just said on the Targett thread that we can’t expect everything to be sorted out this transfer window. Sure it’d be great to have Rico Henry and Targett fighting it out at LB but other areas are more important. There’s always the Jan window if Targett gets injured. Maybe an U23 can come in and plug the gap? Mungo Bridge? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
