I hope so. We do have a history of scrambling around with deal sheets at midnight on TDD. (Both of the last 2 windows). Would be good to be on it from day 1 of the season.
Spurs splashing the cash on two good players Kudus and Gibbs-White both strongly linked with us in recent years. Think Kudus was quite close to joining us .
That’s standing still though.
Only one of those players were not here last season and we will have to wait and see if he’s better than the fella that just left.
We have about 6 more replacements to make to bring the squad back up to last...
You think that’s a lot? We had to sign Alcaraz before his clause ran out and the others bar Branthwaite were out of contract in July.
We have a lot to do, it’s been a fairly slow start. That’s not controversial.
That's not big money.
We are being outspent by tinpot dross clubs like Spurs, Newcastle and Villa. They drop 50m on bench players.
Spurs are dropping 50m plus on kudos, 60m on Gibbs White.
We are so far behind thanks to Bill and his pss poor...
Given our disastrous record in signing poor vfm overpaid residents of the treatment room, I welcome an approach of festina lente.
The window is open until 1 September, but I do want our 25/26 squad to be essentially signed and settled in place...
You’re right mate , i was more referring to the way some fellow blues and fans of other clubs reacted to Newcastle winning it, being dismissive of it and its relevance.
I would love us to win it. It’s getting really boring seeing the cycle...
I’d say the opposite is true about the league cup, the days of Tranmere and Bradford getting to the final are long gone, it’s a serious competition and we need to give it our full attention.
I have been very very happy with Moyes since he returned. Both with the results and also his comments. However, I hope the owners are already working on plans for the post Moyes era in 2-3 years time. Lay the foundations for a young manager to...
When you look at the teams that are currently our rivals (the mid-lower level teams + overachieves), their best players are all getting poached - Ait-Nori, Cunha (Wol), Kudus (WHU), MGW, Elanga (NOT), Wissa? Mbuemo? Norgaard (BRE) - I appreciate...
Seems strange that we’re willing to spend money on a backup GK when there’s plenty available for free (do think Travers would be a very reliable backup though).
If I’m honest I think people went a bit overboard about o’briens performances at right back. He showed he was a good footballer but he had some very average games in my opinion, and people just got a bit giddy because he wasn’t ashley young and...
