Every chance Howe has said we can't sell him with no replacement, and we don't look like we can whip up a replacement in the next 30 hours.

wykikitoon 19975 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 We are worse off. Teams around us have strengthened. What sort of message is this sending to Isak, Bruno etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44488 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Let's wait and see what happens in the next 30 odd hours before we start ringing the alarm bells. At the end of the day, most of the restrictions we're facing are external, and there's nothing we can do about them. If that means Bruno and Isak leave, there's really fuck all we can do about it. Obviously if we buy no one in the next 30 odd hours, we've totally fucked this window and these lads will be scratching their heads and asking questions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21846 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) if we assume this deal is off, we have to have been working on other targets and we have to hope they’re close because if we haven’t, we are properly entering panic buy territory, or LTA is right, we stick to our guns and sign no one. If the latter is true it would be the first real failure since the takeover. Not backing Howe in January was understandable given the looming psr crisis but not spending anything this window, when there is clearly money there to spend, would leave the new recruitment team looking pretty silly and the fans starting to turn for the first time since the takeover.

Dazzler 9490 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 If the window closes and we sign no one then we're keeping our powder dry for January when Man City (with our help) shag the EPL into submission over their anti-competitive rules. Then we buy everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2311 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Mandy and Mehrdad will be feeling pretty smug come Friday if we don't sign anyone. Even if it's only a perception, and the actual reality is more complicated, there will be a perception that they were far more competent when it came to signing players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1224 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I've been positive throughout this summer but at this point, It's hard to conclude that this window is anything other than a clusterfuck now. We've lost two of our most promising young players while replacing nothing more than players we allowed to go for free. If we have our first choice starting 11 we still have a very good team and a bench that can actually make a difference, but we all know in this game, if you stand still you actually go backwards. And I'm not even sure we've stood still at this point. Whatever the reason behind this, it's not a good look and it sends us into the season on a down note straight away. It's difficult to believe we will be in the mix for top four as things stands and without that, we had better get used to the idea that we are going to lose our top players because Bruno, Isak and Gordon are good enough to be expecting to challenge for trophies and if the project stops looking like it's heading anywhere. So disappointing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So disappointing. Same feeling here, I really did think we'd sign 2-3 players in the last week but there's barely a day to go and we've not done shite. You can talk all you want about PSR etc yet all teams above and below us have found ways to strengthen while we have sold our best young players. Some look for the project this.
