No, we didn
Oh yes we did!
No, we didn
There is always somebody who wants our squad players.Not if nobody wants them and we need to raise funds.
No, we didn't try. In fact, we tried not to. If we had actually, literally tried, we would have succeeded.
I just think selling Trippier is an uncommonly bad idea when we are pushing the limits for number of non-home-grown players.Why not both
Exactly, because we couldn't be bothered to try hard enough early enough.What are you talking about - we could not buy anyone because we had to sell first, and never sold a single 1st team player.
There are so many spots we need to address before we even consider 60 mil on Zaha.
I think we can fill it in with something else. If we can get 25 mil for Trippier, go buy some one cheap to sit on the bench or promote a youth player.I just think selling Trippier is an uncommonly bad idea when we are pushing the limits for number of non-home-grown players.
Gonna need at least one new LB and might have to promote a kid up into that position too. Going to have to bring in at least two midfielders; a second striker as well, maybe a new GK, and a CB. It's fucked how the club has let it get to this point imo.
Actually ITK from United said that Levy was desperate for them to take Toby and Rose but Woodward wasn't interested.No, we didn't try. In fact, we tried not to. If we had actually, literally tried, we would have succeeded.
Don't know why anyone would spend money on Rose at this point.Actually ITK from United said that Levy was desperate for them to take Toby and Rose but Woodward wasn't interested.
I just can't understand how they sit back whilst it is happening and think "yeah, if we get no one in it'll be fine.". We've had the same issues for two seasons now. Lack of a competent second striker; and lack of a good, technical, passing midfielder. Now it's far worse than thatIt is absolutely bonkers that we didn't sign anyone in the summer. But we literally self-detonated in both the Inter and PSV games. Even with this squad we should have beaten them both soundly.
It's not all down to lack of signings although yes we needed more quality but the whole club seems to be under the weather from manager to the players, there seems to be a lack of sparkle around the team whether that started with the non existent window I couldn't say but everything about the club is underwhelming.It is absolutely bonkers that we didn't sign anyone in the summer.

Because they thought they could flog the horse for another season and get away with it but as it shows they can't.I just can't understand how they sit back whilst it is happening and think "yeah, if we get no one in it'll be fine.".

Perhaps it we didn't ask for world record fees we might have off loaded a couple.What are you talking about - we could not buy anyone because we had to sell first, and never sold a single 1st team player.

We need 6 or 7 players to have a city-like squad of superstars, sure.maybe 18 months ago we needed 1/2 players to be competing for the title, we now need a big overhaul of 6-8 players and I'd welcome any debate as to how anybody can disagree that that isn't evidence of a poor transfer policy.
