For the millionth time, we can’t make teams sell us their players. It really isn’t hard to understand.

Didn’t say we could

Really isn’t hard to understand either is it ?

What's the other strategy? Unless it's "Spot a load of great (unnamed) players going for a bargain"?

To not fail in one of our biggest transfer window opportunities in recent years.

Why does it say Jamaican international if he's just been playing for the England U21s?

Played a couple of games for Jamaica

Alex Crooks inside knowledge is the same as that indykaila.

City won't want a 300k a week player Sat around at the end of the window.

Now Tier 1.

'not fail' We have absolutely no idea how this season will go.

Your solution comes down to "Just do amazing stuff that's perfect people!"

The alternative was to have a strategy / plan along with being decisive.

Now we are just stuck in no man’s land.

So you are right. We do not have much choice right now in the hope that demands are lowered or a miracle happens

Genuine question this, what evidence do you have that we aren’t working to a strategy and how would you suggest we approach the window differently based on your experience recruiting players?

Dewbster and Dibble in one week

We are cooking

So what plan could we have adopted?

 

[Milkman]

That's just not news though is it, no matter how he rephrases it. We can all deduce that he wants to leave because why wouldn't he?

What about if we throw money at them?

 

[MisterJ]

Played a couple of games for Jamaica

I didn't know that. Assume they were friendlies then, as otherwise couldn't play for England at any level?
