And I bet the first thing these posters will do is blame DS if we end up in a relegation scrap again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then change and give a really interesting article that represents the club well and we’re supposed to believe it wasn’t fed by the club?

Ok, that's an article in the mail which talks about how the post covid market is a tough one for everyone amongst other things. Still would like to know why you think it is noticeable that the club are drip feeding excuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, if we wanted to actually get certain players and were willing to pay the required fee, we could definitely get Watkins, as well as possibly 1 from Benrahma, Buendia or Cantwell. (for example) I know we might be trying to be intelligent with finances etc, but please lord just let us get a couple of key transfers over the line this week. phil silvers said 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea, Newcastle have got their prime target, Leeds are showing enterprise,Sheff Utd have secured a couple of their targets, Albion have got a decent winger, we was linked with.... Look, we swam the ocean to survive.....we should be quick out of the traps....its just my view. Wilson contract at Newcastle is a shocker. I still think they're good chance to go down and they've saddled themselves with him for 5 years on big money. Hope they put in solid relegation clause but just kidding hope they didn't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the idea to just have complete faith is the same. Last summer we did some poor business and made some errors. We made surviving a very difficult task with the business we did. So far that hasn't changed. Totally agree but apparently unless you have blind faith you are to be mocked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost like the social media team have an interest Well when someone is saying that they think that the club is happy to only sign up Matty Cash then it's not a big leap to suspect someone is trolling. Valid criticism is fine but some sticking the boot in act like they know what's going on behind the scenes when 99.9% of us don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 14 minutes ago, Mazrim said: Maybe, but they're way, way less annoying. I mean, if you take everything NSWE have done into account since they arrived, you'd think they would have earned some respect and patience. Oh well. Oh Give it a rest.....now that is annoying, talk about stones and glass houses. The owners have done great, granted....and we still don't know whether any of this delay is down to them, so don't start shifting the chairs around to rearrange the debate. We are talking about getting players in to fix what has been a miracle escape......Not disrespecting the owners. Don't worry, if we go down as a result of not signing players, there will be plenty on here having something to say. However, we are drifting off the subject a tad......I think many are concerned of not getting what appears to be our main targets wrapped up.....if you think that's fine and are not concerned, don't answer my posts on the subject.....because you know I am. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we can afford to overpay for every signing and there are some morons out there who believe London to be a better place to live than Birmingham sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
