Overrated.  It's not a case of 'being on smack' it's a case of not wanting to sell your best talent, combined with the current virus transfer market and English players always demanding large fees. The virus has reduced fees. Brexit has increased fees for English players again because they don't have to meet the criteria to get a visa and be able to play for the club in question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the sale of Buendia and the televised games from the first four games, the move from Iceland supplying the budget Scampi in the championship, Waitrose will be supplying Youngs Gourmet Scampi this coming season. The planning and execution has been superb by the catering department. Edited June 16, 2021 by Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted June 17, 2021 Thought it worth mentioning something Paddy Davit said on the pinkun fixtures release podcast they just put out. I’m not quoting it exactly correctly but he said something to the effect of; ‘ ‘I had a conversation with someone high up at the club and they said if Stuart gets the targets he wants, then hold onto your hats because it’s going to be a very exciting summer for the club’  I mean, that’s got to be a positive surely? Of course, we can’t judge till it’s over but I doubt they would be saying things like that and lining up moves for unknowns/filler. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not being negative but if I play the lottery tomorrow I might win, no guarantees and that's the same with transfers. I trust Webber to be successful as if not he's the next one to resign I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted June 17, 2021 Even the EDP is not helping by trying to suggest there's a certain degree of impatience or frustration that no one has officially signed for City yet. But honestly, the signatures of Dimi, Ben Gibson and Angus are just a matter of time and behind the scenes im sure SW and Co are working flat out to get guys in and yes...if what Paddy is saying what that "high up" is suggesting is right then it most often takes time indeed to get the true mouth watering transfers to get done...if at all...as it no doubt requires incredible bargaining to shift all the scenario's together to make transfers happen...but if anyone can do it then its Webber for sure.

I think we’ve all accepted Aarons was off. Tbh I didn’t think Buendia would have been shipped out as quick as that but shows how much I know. All I care about is whether the incomings will make our squad harder to beat. I couldn’t give a sh*t for flair so long as we stay up for at least one more season than usual. Can’t lie, as much as like winning the Championship, I am a bit sick of our Premier League cameos and wouldn’t mind sticking around for a bit. Plus if we go down again, they’ll be massive changes at the club. Ones which might take a while to adjust to. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,323 Posted June 17, 2021 I can see both Aarons and Cantwell going, if the money is offered. I can see Leicester coming in should Maddison go to Arsenal. Cantwell did very well last time in the premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,709 Posted June 17, 2021 We could yet lose both, and for me Aarons is better than Todd, but a half decent rb is far easier (and cheaper) to find so I’d probably be more disappointed to see Todd leave. It sounds good that we are making progress with our targets - surely we all thought we must be behind the scenes - but agreeing terms with targets is maybe the easy part: it feels the trickier bit is agreeing a fee with the selling club….we heard rumours last summer of several of our players (eg Max) having agreed terms with sides, but no one came close to our valuations.  Hopefully as we do have a bit more ££ this year we can land a few more of our ‘A’ list targets.
