Confirmed Signing Mark Travers

[davek]

They've extended Branthwaite and bought a striker. They've stabilised the club operationally.

These are facts.

They will need to do more if they are to be perceived as ambitious. But, Roma wasn't built in a day...

"New football club owners stabilise club and buy footballer."

Yeah, they've put the hard yards in alright.

Apart from retaining Braithwaite, making Alcaraz permanent, retaining Gueye and buying a centre forward for north of £27 million but I take your point.

It doesn't sound like you do, tbf.

They've retained Branthwaite. Would have been easier to let him go...

Their hand was forced on that by Tarkowski's injury.

How? They could have bought four central defenders for the Branthwaite money...

Far easier for them to sell.

You're clutching at straws here. I'm not saying you will be wrong about these owners. I'm saying that you can't determine with any certainty how ambitious they will be just yet. In six weeks, we will have a much better idea. Personally, I think they need a big six weeks. I think they've done precisely what they had to do so far - retaining Branthwaite, excepted. That's a better outcome than we would have expected from asset flippers. But the next six weeks will give us a clear idea. Moyes spoke of "elite players". That may not be possible this summer, but significant strengthening is. Setting new standards is also possible - and necessary. That means no toleration of slow starts by Moyes. So, the next six weeks will say a lot about ambition. Then the next three months will show us what their standards are...

Bit of a strange one, at his age I'd want to be a number 1 ,a bit lack of ambition , no ?

Maybe @davek is right. Maybe he WILL be our new number 1...

He could also fancy/back himself of claiming the number 1?

Ha, that’s rubbish. Signing Branthwaite up is a massive plus. Stop making excuses to have a pop.

I think I'll start a Mark Travers thread

Big spending summer.

I have been reading this forum for over a year now while working night shift. I dont login because i forgot my password.
Tonight i just did a password reset, so i could post that Davek is the most miserable WUM i have read on a public forum. Nothing positive. Nothing constructive. Just down right negative and argumentative in every thread. Hasnt got a nice thing to say about the club he is supposed to support.
These seriously cant be his honest opinions.
He must sit at home reading multiple threads, thinking how can i disagree with this topic.

That is all. I,ll log back out now and put this misery guts on ignore.
Everyone else should follow suit.

Heres to next season and the positivity it might bring
