Wall Writer Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I really wanna say "unbelievable", but the fact is it so isn't. I actually had high hopes for this one. An actual attacking player in our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse Captain Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Doesn't surprise me. So quiet since it was 'signed and sealed'. Was clearly delaying / having second thoughts. Champs League or a club who sacked the manager who convinced you to join. Not a hard choice Imperative we get a anew manager before the weekend. A week with current players and a chance to sign new ones Not that it will actually happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I think we can now forget about signing anybody of substance now. We put our eggs in the basket and then dropped the fucking thing. Sounded like Dembele was close to signing, but wants none of it now Lampard has gone. As Zoo said who can blame any of them. I wouldn't want to sign for us either. We are going to end up with waste of money crap (if we are lucky) on deadline day.

RuffRob Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Other team supporters must be rolling around laughing their arses off. We stumble from one fuck up to another on a near daily basis. Last January was a debacle, sell Digne and then a couple of day later give Benitez his marching orders and then get a replacement manager the day before the window close and bring in some last minute dross. Somehow that didn't get us relegated. This year, we are actually going to top last January's pantomime.

Palfy Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 We are a completely fucked club, and will remain so for a few more years to come. I'm going to try and enjoy the ride the only other option is get off the bus, and that isn't a option for me I'll be a blue nose till the day I die. I wonder if I will get my season ticket next year, in some ways I hope not because that means everyone is still in for the long haul.

Romey 1878 Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 We are that much of a shambles that he's turned down being first-choice here to go to Spurs where he'll be lucky to see much game time at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the Gordon' money that it looks like we are going to cash in on potentially get squandered in a blind panic in the last few days of a transfer widow by a manager who is not even at the club and not got to know his squad yet.

The player himself mentioned that it was Frank that talked him into joining the club. I do agree though, just Frank had a major influence on his decision.

In a transfer market DoF need to work along side a manager to a certain degree. What the very worst thing you could really do is sack the incumbent manager days before the window shut (in which you have already done zero business) and then bring in the next manager a day or so before the window slams shut so he at least has some input on who he's getting. Maybe this year we might try the slightly obscure approach of bringing in a new manager the day after a transfer window shuts and ask player to come who don't know who they will be playing for - bit of a lucky dip. Novel, but unlikely to catch on!!. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but by all accounts it was all sorted until Levy came along. If its all true of course. Doesn't say much about the players attitude if he's moving to be a bench warmer in a comfortable position rather than start and work hard.

Maybe he believes in himself. I think it's more of a case that we're just not an attractive club to come to at the moment. I wouldn't chalk it up to his attitude.

Yes but that's a general issue not specific to this transfer. By all accounts it was done, someone can always come in a steal a player last minute. The Ukrainian guy going to Chelsea last minute for example. The board has a lot to answer for without putting external forces on their list of crimes. 2 hours ago, Sibdane said: If he's good enough he'll play himself into the starting 11.
