HazzaJet 267 Posted September 30, 2020 Won’t be happy until the transfer window closes, provided we don’t lose any more of our crown jewels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerrykerry 223 Posted September 30, 2020 The more we have to sell the more we buy. We freshened up the squad but didn't spend much,, but 2 big sales means at least one decent player coming in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ged in the onion bag 962 Posted September 30, 2020 Everyone seems to be missing the fundamental point here...... it’s about the team, without a stable group we have a problem. Half the squad from last season weren’t good enough, so needed replacing and we seemed to have addressed that. If our jewels go, that’s pretty much most of last seasons first team gone. Replacing them is one thing but it’s still a new team and new players still have to get used to the system, used to each other. Whilst we will have plenty of money, this will put the project back three years. We are highly unlikely to be competing for promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who did you have in mind? Have a read on here, some are very philosophical and thought it was good we signed players prior to possible departures. Of course it was good but serious money will have to be spent if certain players do indeed go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leeds have been after Michael Cuisance for a while and reportedly that's now a done deal. However various sources suggests they are also in advanced talks with Cantwell.

We are highly unlikely to be competing for promotion. That does assume that the rest of the division isn't in utter chaos - so far pre-season promotion favorites Derby and Forest and Cardiff have shown nothing .... if you said three months not three years I'd agree.

Tetteys Jig 851 Posted September 30, 2020 If they all go then we'd have: Krul Byram Hanley Gibson Xavi Skipp McClean Onel Stiepermann PP Pukki Not all that bad.

Once they want to go there is no point stopping them as the attitude won't be right anyway. The whole thing becomes like a game of domino's then we need to start again. Despite the parachute money we loose vital time to get together the quality and coordination we need. Who runs the project in future if Webber goes? Just another pointer to the fact that the set up involving Directors and the Executive needs to be stronger and the risks better identified to get any reasonable run of seasons in the Premier League.
