Very true fans are getting restless because we just don't seem to be close on anything other than the start of the season.
Where do you even begin with this tripe..... For one his potential wage at Juve would be lower that what we would offer. More importantly he would be joining a genuine European giant, the biggest club in Italy & a club who have reached 2 out of the last 3 CL finals. No shame at all losing a player to them ffs....
I mean, JJ did say it was close but not done for a reason - probably because Juve coming in was very possible. Your fault if you thought 'we were getting' him and are now disappointed.
I agree, it feels like we target these unattainable players who are on the cusp of becoming amazing players; then when things fall through for them, rather than targeting high potential players like we used to (Bale/Modric/Berbs/Eriksen/Lamela) etc we target the players that your stokes, Everton and west broms are fighting over. Then say that the chief player was unobtainable so we had to get a last minute stop gap. Very poor tactics on our part.
I think you can tell by my second paragraph that I'm not slitting my wrists! I also think it's fair to say that things have not gone well and the turnover of staff in the area of transfers is telling, even more so now.
Oh I wasn't accusing you of wrist slitting/ of not being measured in your take of it, was just building on the overall post and using it as a vehicle to state my thoughts on the situation and on several people's reactions, though not particularly yours.
RelaxewYes I hear you mate most of us are frustrated at the lack of activity so far, but it's best to wait until after the window ends to judge.
If fuck all is done or the signings totally inadequate then yes feel free to vent which would then have some justification, we have around two and half weeks to get some shit done so let the club do or not do it's business first.
Trust me I want to see 3/4 come in but I can't see it personally And I'm normally someone who is quite vocal on here regarding things like this, but on this occasion I'm hoping that our chairman backs the best thing that has happened to him for a long time poch so relax
What additions have we made to strengthen our squad since we finished second last season ? The new season starts for us this Sunday not when the transfer window closes. Did we make any additions in the last two January windows to push us on to win something? Is our squad not weaker since selling Walker and not replacing him ?
Dybala wont leave this summer. They've just given him the number 10 shirt which is a big deal but not only give it to him made a big deal about it
That'll be awkward then haha.
