I think we would be willing to spend that amount if we could attract the right calibre of players. Which we clearly can't right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Uninspiring so far but plenty of time. I feel as long as Smith has any say and he head coach our signings will always be somewhat uninspiring (at the outset)That’s not to say they won’t be successful and I’m guilty as hell as being a football snob ... Wolves we’re making more ambitious signings than us in the championship 3 years ago though. Wilson smacks of safety first and shows little ambition 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I was really excited after survival at our potential going forward with serious funds to keep investing. I didnt factor in that seemingly no one wants to come and all we’ve done so far is bring in a RB and might possibly lose one so are no better off thus far than what we had last season. Either the next few weeks will see us start acting more aggressively and landing some quality or we’ll all be very underwhelmed and looking back at this as the thing that cost us our chance to build something special with Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious owners, CEO & Top name manager goes a long way. I am grateful to smith and what he has achieved and cannot be too critical of the job he has done... That said I do feel he does lack the nous and draw so we will have to hope that when it comes to it I’m wrong like I usually am, and Wilson is a smoke screen for Paston Daka.

useless Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Fabio Silva from what I can gather is one of the most highly rated teenage footballer's in Europe, Real Madrid and Juventus have been linked with him, if it works out could be a very good signing for them. That said I'm not particularly jelous of that signing relative to what we need to do this summer, he's hardly played any first team football, and will be joining Wolves as a back up to Raul, I think the question for them is going are they doing the right thing by spending a big chunk of their budget on a prospect when the rest of their squad needs strengthening.

"He'll be class for them" - he's played once for the first team. It's the equivalent of paying £35m for an academy player based totally on hype from their u23 coaches and nothing more. If we had done this there would be pandemonium as he has done materially nothing other than be an exotic name that no one has heard of... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to show more ambition and go for that Callumio Da Willsio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Maybe we are looking at foreign players but because leagues across Europe have stopped and started at different times we want to see them play for their national teams to see what their performances/fitness levels are like following lockdown?

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Nuno has a great record in the market, rarely misses to be fair. Only one I can think of was Cutrone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
