Tbf this is a decision as bonkers as signing Marcos Rojo for £25m

 

[GwladysBlue]

So, in the end, we’ll probably end up with a netspend of around £30m?

Sick of this club playing the fans that we’re about to become something big. Absolute let downs every single year.

 

[Hickson9]

You all realize we can still ship players out abroad til end of August

That would have slipped by a lot of idiots.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Palace probably just wanted too much.

Thing chance once TR goes in tho.. surely we can bid 80 for him

 

[Carlito]

Generally speaking, things have improved under Brands, but the club's foreign scouting network is clearly still not fit for purpose.

They should honestly be embarrassed by their list of centre-back targets:

1. Kurt Zouma
2. Phone United

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Oh well, it is what it is I guess

Let's just cling to the hope that Rojo is a loan only and maybe pray that the reason we didn't get Zaha or Iwobi was because their clubs wanted silly money and Brands is standing firm because he doesn't want to overspend, as opposed to us not being able to afford to overspend and that forcing our hand

 

[tim cahill]

Think we're missing a big opportunity if we don't make a statement signing today. It's looking unlikely now.

 

[bullybeef]

Here’s Jim now whipping up the anticipation with Andy Carroll off to Newcastle!

Go on Jim lad

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

The whole Zaha thing is weird.. we bid 70, they reject. He puts in TR and we walk away

Different sources are contradicting each other on that

Some say we bid 70 and others say we've only bid 52

It's all a bit weird

I'm sure that's the case.

But regardless, we should have had other options.

 

[Manx Blue]

.... and we were gonna win the league & everything.

Oh well, Lossl will save a peno in the Rumbelows Cup.

Christ sake lads

At least we've changed it up from last year, when it was

1. Phone United
2. Kurt Zouma

 

[matty1878]

Huge opportunity lost.
