Transfer Rumour El Bilal Touré

[Blue Smoke]

Our biggest problem is the inability to sell the players we need out of the door to fund these signings

 

[MikeH72]

Cant blame Thelwell etc on this one, though I’ve seen a few keen to try. The blame really lies with those higher up. Their dreadful running of the club has meant we can’t slap much of a downpayment down, and we look a completely unappealing prospect after two back to back relegation battles.

From what I can tell, Thelwell, Purdy and Dyche are doing all they can this summer with what little they’ve got. Does feel like it’s been forever since we spent money on an permanent transfer though.

The key is what happens next. Need a striker through the door before the opening game of the season. We cannot afford another Giroud situation.

I can and will blame Thelwell if he doesn’t have any sort of a backup plan like he didn’t in January for Danjuma.

And you love it

Don’t love it or hate it, just not arsed, because I never convinced myself it was happening like you seem to have done.

I never said either way, I just thought id let it play out. which it still is to be fair.

Isn’t that what we’re all doing, letting it play out?

£30m for a back up for Dom is alot of money though

I've never seen the lad play a full game but I know thus still wouldn't be the case.

 

[Terrarian]

If he doesn't want to come, we move on. CBA with all these agents playing games.

No, you saying with glee it was never going to happen is exactly the opposite of letting play out. You'd made your mind up already.

Except I never said it with “glee” at all, I just typed some words out and pressed post. You’ve just made up in your our own head that I’m happy to make you feel better after once again convincing yourself of the most positive outcome and being wrong. Don’t blame me for our club being a mess.

I never convinced myself of anything. If he signs he signs if he doesn't he doesn't.

How’s that any different from me saying I never believed it was going to get done? It’s just an opinion. I still don’t believe it’s going to get done, and I didn’t last week.

Is he technically a backup when he will likely be starting >80% of our games?

 

[Bwenga]

I think united may have screwed us again on this one. Ten Haag saying they've made positive progress on signing a striker suggests they are close to agreeing a fee for hojlund.

Damn

It is certainly looking less likely but also appears to have been very much on the cards.
