Aren’t transfers practically out of the manager’s hands these days? Got to say this has been a disappointing window. Lack of investment when those who we are competing with are seriously strengthening. gonna be interesting to see a table of PL net spend over the last 12 months at the end of the transfer window. Especially if we dont spend much more. I might even do one myself for all clubs over the past 24 months, if we dont spend fairly big in the next 2 days, you can guarantee we will be towards the bottom of it.

We have one of the moat bloated squads in the league At this rate, we’ll end up with the smallest. Not to mention the amount of players that are out of favour and that the manager has upset… It’s a mess… I’m very concerned right now… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t lie, I’m really concerned and worried… Time is running out and are we going to be left with a severely weakened team & squad? We need a squad and options as well as a good first XI, what options are we going to be left with to change things up or cover for injuries or suspensions? We can’t weaken the midfield without bringing in better players… even if we have targets lined up, what if we fail to complete deals? Everything around the club atm and noises coming from it are all so negative and concerning… Again, what the hell is going on??? How quickly can we get McGinn tanned and learnt in Portuguese? Good old switcheroo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I’m not comfortable with this last minute rush and “hustle and bustle”… and here many of us were thinking we’re a well run and intelligently run club… that we are prudent and plan things out so well and in advance… I would suggest that SG has caused most of the problems but… I’m more concerned that we are going to be left in a weaker position once the window has closed… is this going to be a really shit season? Are we going to struggle through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Well… could it be a crazy busy deadline day??? Can’t even say I’m looking forward to that… deals can fall through and maybe we’ve lowered our sights in terms of quality options… Rush, panic… Or are we just happy to end up with a weaker, poorer squad? Nothing makes sense right now… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Any CMs about who are terrible positionally, terrible on the ball in tight areas but who get a few pop shots on goal in every game? If so I'm sure Steven will be in for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we going to struggle through it? Signings that are 'planned' tend to fall under three options. 1. They want to come to you and you sign them in pre season (Probably early) 2. They might come to you but they have some other options that they find more interesting that they want to explore and get signed pre season for someone (probably later on) 3. They don't really want to come to you as they think they are above you but they might if their options run out and they are motivated to move for some reason probably money or playing time (they move in the last week of the window) If we don't sign very good players it is simply a panic buy Edited August 30, 2022 by paul514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
