Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Acelisc008]

The echo can f*** off, when we were linked with Shakiri it was labelled a bad risk for us, when Liverpool get him it’s a bargain. I hope we rip up the script for this season and just smash the hell out of all these other teams.

 

[sageyefc]

Have we even been linked to a striker? Do the club really fancy going into the new season with Tosun, Niasse and DCL as our strikers?

Why not, tosun and niasse had two of the best strike rates in the league despite playing in the most negative side. Much more pressing concerns

 

[Professor Toffee]

He hasnt. He has been asked to stop being a tit.

That's a mighty big ask

 

[bullybeef]

Well 3 weeks of the window to go and not one signing and hardly any of the dross booted out the door.

All the happy clappers/dreamers/ Moshiri fan boys who spent days slating me are the same fools who would be slating Kenwright if he was still majority shareholder at this stage of the window.

Not saying the blokes been a total disaster and he has his positives, but after these last 2 transfer windows, the comments on expected losses, Mccarthy is family and Lukaku's mum being a voodoo priestess how can people honestly put so much faith in the bloke?

He's currently also failing his manager in not backing him like he done with Koeman which is baffling when he's got us in a legal battle with Watford recruiting the bloke for months!

Didn’t Lukaku say he was gonna sue Moshiri about the Voodoo comments.

Didn’t happen did it.

Kinda agree. I get the impression with Tosun and Niasse that both can finish if they are given the chances to do so. Solve that, and lets see.

He never said he was going to sue, was considering legal action.

Behind the scenes something may have took place and Moshiri might have rightfully apologised to Rom and his mother for them remarks.

Possibly.

But what we don’t know is whether or not Romelu said those voodoo things in the first place.

Football is so far detached from real life anything is possible.

As him and his family are devout Roman Catholics i doubt those comments got said.

Quite bizarre for Moshiri to make it up.

Blokes obviously unhinged.

..both might do but going forward we really need the complete package up front. A player who runs his CBs ragged across the line and real pace down the channels. Competitive, back to goal technique, create and score from half chances. Trouble is finding them.

None of us has any 'kin clue what Brands has been doing behind the scenes, what discussions he's had with Moshiri and Silva or clubs/agents over players. This window can't be judged one way or the other till something happens. Until then focus on the real world rather than obsessing over something we have no control over

 

[Sir Alan]

Said it before and say it again, Lukaku wasn’t satisfied with our project. Instead we just boo him and berate him for trying to better himself.

The Moshiri project is Kenwright with a better looking exotic front man.

Tis indeed.

In terms of priorities, LB, CB, CM trump upfront as we view the squad as it is.

lol

 

[Simon Buttle]

I wonder who's to blame for the current mess?

Moshiri not providing the funds or Brands out of his depth at Premier League level dealing with multi million transfers?

Neither, throwing more money at the situation is not the answer. Fact is we have too many players and the squad is way too big, guys like Garbutt, Galloway, Pennington, Tarashaj? etc etc have been allowed to hang around the club bulking the squad out even though they will never play. Walsh then brought a string of average players in last summer, £25m for someone from the Dutch league! the money spent on Michael Keane who has the movement of a stoned snail( in fact the snail would probably be quicker) then to top it all off we brought in the gravylord, hardly known for improving players and guiding their development. We now have a coach rather than a manager, someone who should be able to improve a lot of the younger players at the club, and also willing to give guys like Lookman the chance they deserve and who also wants to integrate a number of the highly talented younger players like Dowell into the first team.
As for Brands, well he has a far better record in the transfer market than Walsh does, far too many people are sucked into this thing that he found Vardy, Mahrez and Kante and is great because of it, he didn't, he sat as head of a transfer team made up of 2 scouts and a data/stats guy ala moneyball style, when he came we should have brought all 4 of them as a scouting team and we didn't.
We as fans just need to let Marco and Marcel get on with their jobs, far too many of the fans are worrying about what other teams like West Ham are doing, who cares about bloody West Ham! We will be fine, We will sign players and We will finish in the top 7 imo.
