Money wise we had a nightmare spend last summer and im sure we have lost millions and millions in player's net worth. One thing i do know is that we have to get the next 2 windows right. 29/30 are pensioners? **** me. What is it with this forum and players over the age of 28? I couldn’t give a monkeys how old they are if they improve the team and contribute to us climbing the table. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmino was literally just Tony Cascarino pondering possible targets to fill airtime. How many of those links have come from journalists or even agents reporting actual enquiries made. Its a good list and I don’t mean to give you more homework but could you grade them ie 1 being a Percy type report down to 3 being the Cascarino type rubbish…and if you could post the relevant link, that would be great thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t give a monkeys how old they are if they improve the team and contribute to us climbing the table. Quite. We're not in a position to sign the Haalands of this world, so have to make some concessions somewhere - players of that age still have 3/4 years at the top level ahead of them anyway, which is more than enough to benefit us greatly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Don't jump down my throat. It's incredibly boring. I know how unreliable he is, but it's more interesting than not sharing and debating. Yes much of it is obvious.. Whispers says we're after GK, CB, DM, LB and a Winger. That's a lot. They could very well be throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. But could be a hell of a window if we add 5 players.

Yes, I am excited, he’s a good solid pro who has played for some top clubs. Yes, I do rate him, if we do sign him, he’ll add a bit of grit and steel which I don’t think our current midfield contains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
