To play second fiddle to Kane all season?

You have to wonder who advises players nowadays. There's more than just cash.

I see the "pure profit" doing the rounds ago. If more stupid deals are entertained, we might as well forget about our academy & just stand outside City's instead.

Agree. Players will only lose value if they are on the fringes/loan-loop.

There's a better chance of dislodging an aging Kane than there is of jumping ahead of Delap and Jackson who are a similar age profile.

I am going to fucking lose my shit if we sell Josh!!

wtf

and for only 35m???!!!!???

[Pizy 19,250]

Another day of fuck all happening. Tomorrow we’ll get our daily “Chelsea and Dortmund had another good meeting on Gittens” and then fuck all will probably happen again.

Then once we do finally sign him (for ridiculous money) who knows how long it’s going to take for our next target.

I’m pretty sure this is the longest we have gone without signing a 17 year old that nobody has ever heard about!

[ZAPHOD2319 4,942]

I spoke three minutes to soon!!

 

[Special Juan 28,730]

We see this a lot now and it's becoming more of a theme where we seem to drag transfer negotiations out for weeks and weeks and before we know the window is about to shut and the new player/s have no time to bed in and it's just frankly bad planning

How any team can go to the last minutes of the window for transfers and get deals done is beyond me, it should never ever get to that unless a major injury to a key player has just happened or something out of anyone's control. To scramble around last minute is nothing but bad ownership and leadership for me

[ZAPHOD2319 4,942]

I guess it was just to get clicks

I would be fuming with this. He is an exceptional talent. He has power, pace, good on the ball and mark my words will be a top, top player. We should not be letting Acheampong go for £35m. That will look like peanuts in a few years. He decided to stay here when he could have opted against signing a new contract so start showing some faith. He reminds me of Lewis-Skelly but on the other side. Powerful, both like to make powerful ventures forward and both can easily transition from defence to midfield. Acheampong proved this in our last game. Can't just keep looking at profit all the time ffs.

Romano now confirming Waltomade is close to bayern

[mkh 748]

Wolte would have gone down at Chelsea - he's Peter Crouch and Kai Havertz rolled into one.

In Germany, a talented striker comes out of nowhere every year and disappears again quickly, just like we almost signed Baier last year.

Their top goal threat and one of the highest earners. Very unlikely.

Are we certain Jackson is staying?
 

[Pizy 19,250]

I think the only way we’d sign another striker is if Jackson goes. We were never going to have 3 senior #9’s in the squad.

Our pre season starts around end of July. So there's plenty of time. Literally zero difference if we sign certain player now or in 3 weeks.

But surely it’s better to get your key targets in early. As Liverpool and City have decided. The longer you wait the harder the potential selling clubs will dig their heels in knowing it’ll be increasingly difficult to replace their players. Also there may be more competition for said players.

That would make sense...and how we used to do it. Just bit crap seeing clubs such as Liverpool who were strong enough as it was get their work done ASAP.

But way we seem to do it is drag it out then it falls through and then ooo window is closed now..or closing so its panic panic and end up with someone random who adds sod all for a stupid price
