I think they need to fire Gerrard, I think buying a right winger is bizarre when we don’t play with wingers and have other priority positions but in this isolated incident if the above quote is true then this is nothing bad against the club or Gerrard, it’s just the deal doesn’t look like happening because we are currently too far apart on terms. That’s life! Nobody did anything wrong or embarrassed themselves. People love a good moan though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just too complicated and us walking away makes sense. Sarr wants to leave and Watford want to sell so someone will sign him.

Meh, I kind of expect Watford to have high demands, they have one of the best talents in the Championship and we're clearly desperate. We'd do the same hopefully. Same for Sarr. He's waited, he's done the championship once already, he could easily have forced a move at any point the last 2-3 seasons. He stayed, came back up and has stayed with them and now he's back in the championship and isn't kicking up a fuss over leaving, just wants the right contract for him. It's us as that's put ourselves in the position of being desperate and can't blame them for pushing the boundaries. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 ■ Crystal Palace is still active in the Ismaïla Sarr file . ■ Aston Villa will still try to conclude the deal by the end of the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a bit of a laughing stock about how we are run with some of these deals How are we a laughing stock? In whose eyes? Just yours? the press/media? Other clubs fans? Please explain as i don't understand how we are a laughing stock. All of our recent transfer business has been lauded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right to walk away. I thought usually everything was agreed before a medical took place . So someone has obviously tried to change something last minute and we weren't having it IMO.

We had agreed a £27m fee +£3m add-ons, plus a 15% sell on clause and our most promising Striker and a decent CB on loan for him. We'd done all this within 30 minutes of getting whopped out by Palace. We've pulled out because it went public and smirched Purslows PR record imo, not because Watford may have asked for another couple of £m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where to start We have in the last hour loabed out an 18 million player and wont be recoupung anything. We signed a 25 million left back who was 2nd choice at Everton as Rafa saw through him We have spent about 200 million in the last season and a half and the players cant even pass the ball to each other 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation at the minute anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
