Confirmed Signing Amadou Onana

[Exeter_Gently]

We laugh in the face of FFP.

If this guy prefers us over West Ham, then the only reason is because we’ve offered him more money. Unless he can’t wait to play with Tom Davies in training.

We've had one shocking season mate.

Making out like West Ham are massive...

We finish above West Ham this season


Vault me in May!!

[Zeitgeist]

Here's the thing, we always undersell ourselves as a club in terms of how attractive we are to players.

A long established top flight club in the biggest league in the world.
A good history of producing top players for top international teams (the starting two strikers for the top 2 world ranked international sides both developed at us, Richy and Lukaku, England's best ever striker came through at us too I'm Rooney).
We pay wages pretty much at a very good level - only the top 6 realistically can/do pay more.
We have Lampard whose a big draw for players of this era.
Don't underestimate the effect for sone players that seeing those end of season games would have had and seeing the passionate support (for some that will be a draw)

We nearly got relegated lad

Mina out for large parts
Dominic Calvert-Lewin out for months
Richarlison out for a while and out of form
Allan out for a while
Doucoure out for weeks
VAR decisions against us
Benitez as manager

I have confidence in Lampard mate and just because West Ham have made a load of signings it doesn’t guarantee they will be a success, we know that more than anyone.

Would sooner we spent this sort of money on a striker who isn't currently injured tbh.

Or he see's a quicker route to first team football in the prem with us, which am almost certain he would see a lot more minutes with us then West Ham.

 

[matty1878]

Way too many proper journalists running with it mate - it's a million percent genuine this.

who else is running with it mate? any english journos?

Mins out for large parts
Dominic Calvert-Lewin out for months
Richarlison out for a while and out of form
Allan out for a while
Doucoure out for weeks
VAR decisions against us
Benitez as manager

To be fair, this season:

Mina likely to be out for large parts
Dominic Calvert-Lewin likely to be out for months
Richarlison is gone
Allan still not fully fit
VAR decisions will continue to go against us

With our current midfield mate? we definitely need multiple DM's we have none at the moment, signing him and Gana would make perfect sense, the master and the apprentice, bit of fore sight for once.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him play more box to box, with Gana next to him.
