Somebody on Twitter re posting it had caused unneccesary hysteria I'm amazed how many on twitter have jumped on it as a way to not sign many players this year.

Btw Callum Wilson in the 5 seasons Bournemouth were in the PL scored 40 league goals as a center forward. King? 48...majority from the wing. Didn’t want Wilson either. Would be ok with Brewster and a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Brewster is a purchase, but again, its taken with a huge pinch of salt but its been reported by a couple of twitter reporters. I'm with you, I cannot see him being sold, he was on the bench for the CL semi final last year they must rate the daylights out of him.

KenjiOgiwara Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) I don't care what is said. Going into the last two weeks of preseason without a new winger and striker for a team that survived by the skin of its teeth and couldn't score in a brothel, that's unacceptable. Amateur'esque. Questions needs to be asked a lot of places. Edited September 7, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found out about the deal that Wilson was offered, decided that it wasn't for us and if the reports are true spoken to Liverpool about a very exciting prospect.

BigRed Posted September 7, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2020 13 minutes ago, El-Reacho said: My premise for being a manager with a reputation for attracting top class players is either winning things or getting clubs to to punch above their weight. As Bielsa has done neither I can't understand the idea that he would be a big draw for top class players. As ever it will be the cash the club are willing to throw at the player IMHO. The draw is that he’s a renowned coach who improves players whilst playing top stuff. Anyone would be attracted to that knowing that he could be made into a top player & go further in his career. also whilst it may be classed as not successful it’s not as though he’s managed the top club in all counties he’s been at.

Jas10 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Surely Chelsea will be wanting to offload some fringe players after splashing the cash? Whether on loan (with view or option to buy) or outright signings, to either enhance or increase the size of the squad, maybe we could pursue a few of the following? I’m sure some players will consider at least a short term move to put themselves in contention for the Euros too...

I wouldn't be happy with any of the signings Leeds have made, or to a lesser extent Newcastle. We have set our position out for signing new players and we need to stick with this approach. We have our targets and the press appear to know nothing about who they are and that's the right way to go about it. Any leaks, from either side of any deals, actually risk the whole transfer. Good luck to Wilson, Bruce and Newcastle and I hope Brentford get what they want for Oli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The failure of getting in a quality striker and winger in time for preseason means we are relegation candidates for me. No chance we're getting any where close to 50 points. We are relegation candidates regardless who we sign. As it stands we are third favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't see the problem there!! The season starts in 5 days and we seem to be jumping from player to player. Reports of late bid for the West brom winger doesn't help either. Its a position we know we needed to strengthen since last October. To still be like this doesn't fill me with faith our recruitment team are doing a great job. Obviously I can't report on what is truly happening, but from all available news it looks desperate from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait further down the window before I start losing patience but it would give a lot more reassurance to us fans if we could see a clear strategy going on, at present we mainly have dubious journalist guesses or so called ITK to go on.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 We started last season with a strike force of Wesley, Kodjia and Davis. If anyone had said the following season would start with worse, you'd have been called crazy. Yet its looking incredibly likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I know everyone said be patient and it does not matter what order they come in, but I am still surprised that our first signing was for a right back when we have two okayish ones on the books already. Adding to our forward line is absolutely critical or we will be one of the favourites to go down again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceding was the issue. But I agree with you I’ll be a lot happier with a new fit striker in! Because not many of those goals came from up top.
