Emery said he wants another to replace Ings, almost as if Duran was replacing Archer more so in the squad at this early stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted January 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2023 Looks like a transitional season then if we are not going to address the holes in our squad. It’s a shame but I understand it and we have rarely bought well in Jan. We are much more likely to add to our problems than solve them in the Jan market. Just look at last year. I’ll expect big things in summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t it better to listen to what the manager said when he that wasn’t the case. I thought we all trusted in Emery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Made In Aston Posted January 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2023 The one I feel sorry for in this whole ordeal is @messi11. He put so much effort into scouting and scouring the Internet for transfer tweets, but the club has let him down badly! No wonder kids, no random players from the Chilean league, no diamonds in the rough, Nothing. Nada. F-all. **** you Lange, Emery and Purslow! **** your all! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting top 6 would increase our income, raise our profile, give us European football, and would help us sign better players this summer rather than further down the line. That's the longer term impact, since you can't seem to see it. It is achievable with Liverpool and Chelsea misfiring, Spurs inconsistent, and Fulham, Brentford and even Brighton below us in recent form tables - baffling why some people are saying we have no chance. There is clearly an opportunity there to be grasped, but we seem reluctant to go for it. that's the frustration for me. Gerrard's rubbish tenure is irrelevant, Emery has changed the landscape and raised/restored the expectations. Nonsense. I've said it previously, look at the players we've signed and the manager we've got and we haven't finished in the top half of the prem for a decade. We shouldn't gamble on targets we aren't convinced by, or pay over the odds to chase European football for the made up scenario of it will be harder to get players in the summer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 22 minutes ago, nick76 said: It’s not the right question because you are assuming we can get first choice in the summer which is no guarantee. You’re also assuming we have or haven’t pushed the extra mile for first choice now. You’re also assuming we have a first choice and not a choice of two or three we are in the bracket of first choice. If I said to you we can’t get first choice in the summer either would you settle for second choice now? You would probably be like me, trying to weigh up all the factors like, is he better than what we have? Can we get on a short term deal or even a loan? What fee and wages? So I think you question is wrong because that isn’t the choice we have and we don’t have all the details. No. I'd like us to go for first choice again in the summer and then settle if we have to. There's no need to settle now when we have another good opportunity to bring in top targets in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'm a huge Danny Ings fan but I can't believe the fuss being made. What if that money FFP wise helps us get a better signing in the summer? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
