LAM09 7,070 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 1 hour ago, Magic Lamps said: It is safe to say whoever led the negotiations on Chelsea side botched that one big time. When the second offer over 50m was rejected, the Dortmund director went out of his way to say that it was only rejected bc the bid came in hours before the windows closed not bc of the amount. Still, they came back with 55m+ right when it reopened. Also got a hunch Bayern interest was never real and they just did it to coax the club they dislike most into overspending They definitely don't seem to be the smartest bunch. Go all out for meh players and play penny-pinchers where game changers are involved (Osimhen, Maignan, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of people think he could pull a Dole Palmer and explode once he leaves Liverpool to be an every match starter. For Elliot it's easier path to start in Liverpool midfield than here tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Osimhen deal fell through because his agent wanted ridiculous wages, which was above the club's wage structure. And then somehow he ended up in Turkey of all places Mhsc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Anyone else worried about no of new players coming in? We can't replace half a squad every summer (and sometimes winter) and expect them to integrate without a problems: - Sarr - Santos (he spent 2 preseasons with us, but I still count him as new), Essugo - Estevao, Gittens, Pedro, Delap That's 7 players already, with rumors of GK, LB, CB, another AM, that would take us to 11 new players, with 2 new players already ready to be included for next season- Quenda and Paez.

The Rising Sun 711 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 These dumb owners try to treat players like stocks. Expecting price inflation and making bets on young players. Problem being the bets are expensive bets....all between 50-115 million and all with 7 year contracts. Keep buying 5-7 players every year and then not being able to sell well. We were incredibly good sellers at one point of time till these owners decided to triple the squad size. Feels truly like a recipe for disaster and a united like situation eventually - where players go rogue and start posting things on social media because they obviously are unhappy. 40 players cannot be happy anywhere.

Mhsc 1,109 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Neto and Gittens will be insanely fast on the counter. Wonder if we're secretly building a park the bus and counter team and try to be a team that win 1-0 and solve the defensive problems without solving the defensive problems (i.e. hide our shit GK + CBs deficiencies by playing super defensive / deep / boring, instead of spending money to rebuild it and be a team that can play attacking and win big without being crazy open at the back). Then maybe we tackle those problems next summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I viewed it as highly unlikely as soon as it was reported that we still wanted him. Spuds are right to move quickly to get him to agree to go there because we surely need to sell before going for someone else in attack.

Pizy 18,996 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Kudus isn’t a natural winger so I’m interested to see where he plays if he goes to Spuds since Maddison plays centrally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
