It’s Sterling

Raphinha would thrive in our system. Hence why I’m gutted he’s not coming. He’d be our Mane.

It's short term thinking. They'll find themselves in similar trouble in a year or two. Personally hope Real dominate the league for years to come.

Should lock this thread until someone is signed. These constant rumors that go nowhere are infuriating.

Right, but Ronaldo is a proper footballer whereas Lukaku can’t control a ball. How many times are we in the opposition third squandering chances? I see no reason why anyone would be against having one of the greatest goal scorers of all time be an option for us for 1-2 seasons.

Decent short term option. With his finishing instincts and ability on the ball, it’s a trade off for his lack of pressing.

Gnabry won’t happen given his wages. The rest we are better off sticking with what we have vs making the wrong signing. Nkunku kills it again next season, move for him.

Boehly the type of man I hope would give Deco/Raphinha a deadline. And soon.

Imagine selling Broja and keeping Werner. I know the clubs hands are tied but we shouldn’t entertain any option when the bar for attackers at our club is so low. Broja can’t be worse.

Was convinced we’d sign both Sterling and de Ligt this week. A fools hope.

This constant speculation talk can drive a man insane.

Dembele is still a massive a risk. Just because he reignited his form during this 2nd half of the season doesn't guarantee it will translate to the Prem consistently. And tbh given his attitude/stance towards his wage demands he poses a massive disruption. He's done nothing to warrant such demands other than visit the hospital bed.

Quoted.

Gnabry his wages are the issue. Bowen we will want out in a years time. Antony is a massive gamble and imo will join the list of inconsistent attackers we already have.

Reactions are justified when for weeks all we've had to read for was Linked with, interested in, inquiring, progressing, etc,etc and the one deal that managed to appear over the line has now fallen through.

Not the type of profile we are after and I think we are taking a break from signing players in the Dutch League. From feeling absolutely delighted on Tuesday for what seemingly looked like a done deal in Raphinha, to utter humiliation 3 days later in how we've handled ourselves so far. Pathetic. We may have gotten rid of Marina but the incompetence remains.

And we have now officially won the "Last club to sign a player race". https://theathletic.com/news/tyrell-malacia-manchester-united-transfer/axr0AXG0Tl6T/

Think I better log off for the next 2 weeks. If I read one more "Keeping close tabs", or "Making progress", or "Inquiring about", I might just fucking break something. What the fuck is the Sterling hold up? I thought it was agreed days ago? Utterly embarrassing this whole ordeal. Can't get anything over the line.

Have to say these last ditch inquiries about players who are heavily linked with rival clubs is becoming embarrassing. Like we have no idea what we are doing. Gnabry will want wages exceeding 300kpw and Dembele the same.

Actively Keeping Tabs FC. Been a while but fuck it. Teasing news day after day with nothing ever coming to fruition.

Nah since there’s no news they’re just posting random bollocks. Same with their twitter and YouTube page.

Seems like traditional, old school DMs are a rare breed these days. Every defensive midfielder is now becoming more advanced as well.

This likely confirms Tuchel will always opt for a double pivot.

I think we need to walk away. We don't have time for this foolery when we need to build an entire squad before preseason. Set a deadline for Tomorrow and if not, void the contract and move on. Fuck him. Deal's off. Either Raphinha gets his improbable Barca move or he's stuck at Leeds for another season.
