bose Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 A month left of the transfer window. Our first league game is in two weeks. Plenty of time left. It's obviously a difficult market to get signings in early so I'm not too worried. Press speculations are just that, speculations and we're in general very tight lipped about our targets. I'll be very surprised if we don't have two new signings, at least, before our first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is bullshit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep spunking tens of millions away on players who are slightly better than the dross we have, only to realize a year later they're still not good enough. Just buy someone good and we won't have to replace them next summer! That's how to build a team The problem is, we don't seem to be able to attract that level of player, at least with the current manager in charge. I don't know what names you have in mind but it's been reported (note, I use the word 'reported') that players like Rashica and Wilson didn't want to come here. Of course we want to buy top players but unfortunately unless Villa gets bought by a Saudi prince I don't see that happening and players like King are probably the best we're going to get, certainly at this point in time. I just want some players in before gameweek 1, if we go into the season with Davis and Samatta as our strikers it really will be curtains for us. I know the window closes on 5 October but we have got 2 winnable opening games, if we end up with say 1 point from those 2 games or heaven forbid 0 points we really will be in the brown stuff.

If you know the players we're looking for and where the indecision lies, then please do let me know! The fact we have signed no one to fix the shortfalls we had last season. we did stay up by the skin of our teeth, just in case you missed it. leaving it late runs the risk of missing out on your prime targets......signing second and third choices, is not the work of an ambitious outfit. How do you know we are staying tight lipped to protect our indecision.....you have no more idea than me. its my opinion, that things don't appear good to me........so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know the players we're looking for and where the indecision lies, then please do let me know! The season starts for most clubs in 5 days. We got "lucky" in being drawn to start off with a club that won't kick a ball until week 2, buying us an extra few days to recruit sensibly, but to pretend like we've got it all together and sorted and we can take as much time as we need is daft. Buying only gets harder and more desperate at the end of a transfer window - not easier and cheaper. But we've added a right-back, so everything's OK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have 0 points after 2 games it's like being 4 points adrift in the relegation zone with 4 to go right. Now that's a shitty situation.

In the Charity Shield (or whatever it's called now) and he came on, did nothing, then missed a penalty in the shootout. Can anyone tell me if he's actually any good? Jordan Ibe/Dominic Solanke type vibes about him. Even if he was sold the redscouse wouldn't take less than 15 million despite his lack of prem time Its a no from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy that. Look at the calibre of player Leeds are able to bring in, and they're newly-promoted. I'm also not asking for "top players", merely better players than King who never scores, has just been relegated, would cost big money, and has no re-sell potential 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is bullshit. Well, we are being given food for thought, by the inaction. So you think everything sounds in order?.....and that one full back is ok, so far? fine if thats your opinion. I don't think things sound good.....we may have been linked with false players by over zealous journalists......but we haven't signed anyone so far to prove them wrong. The bullshit is derived from inaction. We should know exactly who we want to move forward, so far no evidence is in support of that view.

I think we should reserve judgement until the window SLAMS shut. We'd have only played one maybe two games. Even then these players and coaches will have learnt from last season. Even Matty Cash brings an improvement for our attacking output. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
