Depends on how you support the club isn’t it?

Given the fact I have spent a small fortune supporting us home and away I would like to be convinced we are least trying to win.

They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do regardless.

Anyone heard this: Fatawu 22 mill bid rejected has agreed personal terms?

From my guy who was once 70-30 is now nearer 40-60

I've always said his 'upper limit' was around £25m. Think he'd be a handy player provided he stayed fit.

Tbh it wouldn’t surprise me that we’re bidding half a player’s asking price again.

How convenient. Except not really. It's more like the opposite of convenient. Extremely inconvenient is what it is.

None of us know how far selling the womens team went in terms of freeing up money for PSR, but the fact we did it at all suggests that was a problem we were/are still facing. There was definitely a will, and the sale of the women's team was the way. Evidently it didn't do enough for us to be comfortable though unfortunately.

A safe estimate, following the same Chelsea calculation was 60 millions (without the stadium)...so psr is not the issue here mate. I am not sure what it is, and i guess nobody really know apart from moyes and the recruitment team. It could be the lack of liquidity for the down payments, it could be the negotiations skills or lack off, It could be the entire recruitment strategy...many possible reasons, but psr is not one of them.

Would certainly add pace and direction

Finally, a rumour! Almost as good as a new signing!

….its a difficult one. Garner looks the best option we have at LB, James arguably Leeds’ most dangerous attacker. The dilemma is whether to start your best LB or go with a weaker option against their best forward.

Moyes seemed to think it was better to start Garner there rather than somebody like McNeil who we know from a temporary spell last season is a huge risk at LB. I think it was a sensible decision, even if it left us weaker in midfield.

We passed the ball to Garner a lot in the Leeds game..they pressed him aggressively knowing he has no left foot. He either gave the ball away or hurriedly passed it back to Keane.

He went narrow almost all game rather than go wide and potentially get beaten, which is fine defensively but hugely limited our attack.

Dan James looks a flat track championship bully.

Agreed, this section below was the bit I couldn’t get my head around…

‘The market is clearly inflated. We are heading for a record amount of fees spent by the PL. It’s massively difficult to do deals in such an environment’.

Unbelievable - if it’s massively difficult to do deals why is the PL on track to spend a record amount in fees

It's just excuses isn't it?

Yes challenges exist. If you're going to be successful you look to overcome them. If our personnel can't we need to move them on.

I'm frankly out of patience with making excuses for senior execs at the football club.

Our problem is as well, because we have left it late, and everyone knows what we bid for Dibling, the price will go up.

Why they couldn't have done these deals in July I'll never know.

Marinakis to me clearly has a grudge over their previous points deduction and wants to take a sledgehammer to all PL regulations. There's no way they will be compliant after all these purchases while only selling Elanga.

Obviously my goblin brain wants us to do the same thing but tbh probably better to see how it works out for them, if we deliberately breached PL would find a way to relegate us surely.

I’m sure I read somewhere that when Gibbs-White signed his new contract that they had an agreement that he would give them this season to get Champions League and if they didn’t he could leave if a club he wanted to go to came in for him. So Forrest could possibly have his sale too.

 

[Pappas_23]

Looking back, should they have just kept thelwell?

How did it sneak through Moyes’ leak lockdown?!?!
