Jase 43,479 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Wonder why we can't sign any strikers this month? Just look at what United have resorted to now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A superstar CB and maybe throw Oblak into the mix this summer. We should seriously start thinking about protesting against this board. 1 If we miss out on Sancho we are fucked 2 Just to grab 4 positions (and the players linked to us) LB, DMF, Wingers (2 will be needed, unless we suicidally cave into Willian's 20m for 2 years salary demands), and CF (backup/starter and then a cheap 3rd stringer) means around a 400m gross spend 3 add in a truly WC CB, that shoots to £475-500m gross. Obviously some players will and have been sold and that lowers it all dramatically, but unless you are talking about selling Kante (I think it is 100% necessary) we are not going to remotely reach those type of numbers flipped in just one window 4 If we go all in on Chilwell, but do not get him, and then proceed to toss the toys from the pram and do nothing, we are fucked 5 Werner is not coming here, so it is Dembele, or TBD (and all actually doable options, Dembele included, are a massive step down from Werner) 6 Finally as I showed in a long detailed post, buying Oblak (IF he even comes, he has turned us down before) and selling an unsaleable Kepa means that in the absolutely BEST CASE POSSIBLE scenario we will end up spending a QUARTER BILLION QUID for 7 years (2 Kepa, 5 Oblak) combined of just 1st Keeper play (when fees and salaries are added in) That will NEVER happen DDA and Atomiswave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakambu was on the verge of joining Barca a matter of days ago. He'd have been adequate for either. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a it's only January calm down sorta thing. We see it every window.

He looked really upset at the Press Conference today. Failing to back a manager in the transfer window, when he explicitly asks for backing, means you are on borrowed time more often than not.

Telles isnt an upgrade, Zhyech? There are quality out there, we just suck ass its simple. We are not asking for Hollywood players in Jan, at the same time it does not mean decent players cant be had.

Oh look someone else has come in.. deal done. I'm not hopeful on top 4 given our last performances. We've been lucky but luck runs out.
