I had previously thought it unfathomable that we could reach the end of this week without bringing anyone in. If we do manage that, then I think people are entitled to start asking some questions to be honest.
Young child at school - settled, friends etc. Wife with friendship groups living in the capital city. Tete - knows the manager and team mates. Can you really blame him for not wanting to move?
Have to say people acting as though weighing up offers from different clubs and trying to get yourself the best deal possible is some sort of brand new type of black magic is messing with my head. It’s just about the most normal thing imaginable.
Honestly, they keep bleating about getting rid of keane, which in an ideal world we all want, but none can come up with a better alternative that is free, willing and occasionally able.
Again though, this just ignores the fact that the alternative to Keane is highly likely to be somebody just like Keane. If the choice is keep Keane or sign Marc Guehi then this a very strange move, if the choice is keep Keane or sign Craig Dawson...
Gueye is a much, much better footballer than some of us give him credit for. The way some go on you would think he just throws tackles in and boots the ball into row Z.
His passing is fine, he just sees so much of the ball that any errant...
Probably a bit stupid of these hard nosed professional negotiators to have offered him a much better deal than the only other one on the table anyway to be honest, but yeah, whatever helps you get through the day mate.
I don't disagree at all mate, I've been wanting him legged for years. I'm also aware that i'd very probably feel exactly the same about Willy Boly or Ben Mee or Issa Diop if they were here too though, that's all. There's no denying that if we...
I don't think Romano etc are wrong.
I dont think it's something to act like weird Man Utd fans with INEOS as though new people are tough negotiators or whatever nonsense.
I think we tried to sign him. Fulham improved their terms. He's opted for...
100%. Nobody learned a thing from the Moshiri years. Uncritically stating that "the grown ups are in charge" and such like. They might be, who knows? We have almost nothing to go on so far. We've signed a lad we already had a clause for and...
I don't think anyone is saying he's far and away the best possible 4th centre half choice for any club in the world though are they, so that's a bit disingenuous. We offered contracts to Young, Doucoure, DCL etc and the list of people we're...
