thabucks Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Edouard Michut deal between PSG and Sunderland has stalled. We should be on the phone to PSG for him and Diallo - €15mill gets you both apparently. Then Otavio / dream Yeremy Pino and squad feels more balanced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer strategy/scouting department should just copy Brightons targets. Then again - those players get developed and taught proper tactics, would they get that here and actually turn into big time players?

M_Afro Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The fact that we aren’t hearing any links is really worrying. Only 3 days to go and then we have to go with what we’ve got. If that’s true then I expect Purslow to come out and realign his expectations to the quality of our team upgrades. No way we get anywhere near Europe with this first 11, no matter who the manager is. I thought that last summer was a disappointment but this is just as bad. If the board are going to talk us up then they need to back it up with some action in the next 3 days. We need at least 3 ins and then if things don’t improve they can get in a new manager. Sacking Gerrard will not massively improve things in my mind unless the new manager has a better balanced squad than what we currently have.

He can play on the right or centrally and presume they believe he can be an effective 8 given his stats… Don’t know about him tbh . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think the lack of links means we are deep in conversations for multiple targets. Where have the past few seasons recent leaks come from - foreign press so they selling club and I’ve been told we use NDA’s extensively. We've proven that we do our business in the shadows quietly and if we see being linked in the media with players it’s normally gunna just be agent talk.

Hope you’re right mate. Why have we been so inactive for so long though? We went early and then nothing at all has happened since. It’s all a bit disconcerting.

I'm not gonna hold a grudge over it tho, its footy. Our opinions def differ on that - I'm not criticizing. But I do think either Mee or Jansson could do a job for us 'at times'. I would never want them to be automatic starters - but if we could've gotten 1 on a free as a backup, 3rd/4th choice and fill a void in the mean time, I would've taken the offer.

jacketspuds Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 If our final 2 signings are Dawson and Barkley I think it’s safe to say that 17th will be enough this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
