Bwanamakubwa Posted 21 June, 2014 Share Posted 21 June, 2014 Of course. Though there was a huge change to poch and that went ok. We had the same situation with kl, signs showed she wasn't interested and we was gonna sell up etc it would have been easy to assume that. We've lost one player, and have one injured. We've also lost a manager but appointed one who is generally well accepted and positive. That's the position lets worry about the rest as and when. Assumptions are after all the mother of all **** ups. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 21 June, 2014 Share Posted 21 June, 2014 You continue to jump to the conclusion that because the club aren't giving fans a minute by minute outline of their transfer dealings that the club is doing nothing to line-up new players. Just because they aren't telling us what they are doing doesn't mean by default nothing is happening. Les Reed has now stated publicly on a number of occasions they have a number of targets even before a new manager joined. That doesn't even address the questions. I know things are happening behind the scenes and said nothing about asking for updates etc. What I am saying is we have a lot to do, more the previous 3 or 4 summers. But people seem to disagree, which is fine, its what the Forum is about. If people think you are automatically a "bed wetter" for thinking we have a lot to do in order to build our team for next season then so be it.

World cup summers are always a bit different transfer wise, well in the PL anyway. As we've not really been involved with that since 2002 we've just forgotten how different they are that's all.

This is small selection of why some think youre a troll / WUM / one to be ignored What a complete **** up the last couple of months have been. Way to ruin a few years of good work. When mopo left you posted - He would have stayed if we were ambitious. We will probably lose 5 of our best players this summer New manager thread you posted - Leta be honest. No Manager at the top of his game will be interested Sorry, but anyone who thinks we will emerge stronger from this window is barking mad. Its damage limitation already.

CanadaSaint Posted 21 June, 2014 Share Posted 21 June, 2014 If he leaves, they are going to need to spend a large chuck of that on a star striker No Kidding. In the last few days we've seen Suarez playing without Sturridge and Sturridge playing without Suarez. None of our players are irreplaceable on anything like the same level as Suarez is for Liverpool. Yes, I'm a little anxious about our back row BUT optimistic we'll be more effective up front (all that possession for so few goals) and I'm very happy that we look like keeping our engine room intact. The alleged budget, used effectively, could easily make us a better side - and especially squad - than we were last year. We were ticking along nicely until the injuries hit.

I don't know if he/she was at the same meeting that day that involved the Ings family, but we have both been told the same news that Dannys Ings was deciding between an offer from us and one from Liverpool.

Something very sad must have happened in life to this once decent young man. He had a brilliant mind, yet how can he spend all the time on here, spouting really annoying posts, designed to anger, irritate and send confusion thru all the supporters who are members of this forum. Time after time he contradicts his own statements, signaling the state of his once brilliant mind. It's not done to counteract the destruction of this once marvelous forum. Alas, instead of holding his ground, rising above it all, silencing the fools, trolls and idiots, he joined them and has sunk to a level few on here have sunk. Quality, not quality.

Martins Indi, who can play at centre-half or left-back, was born in Portugal and Porto are ready to offer €8million (£6.4m) for the 22-year-old, who has also been linked with Everton and Manchester United.

ratio_decidendi Posted 22 June, 2014 Share Posted 22 June, 2014 Can't see this one happening at all. Although I'm sure he would act as sufficient midfield cover, Barry's wages would be disproportionate to that role and we would never be able to make money when selling him in the future because of his age. It also seems to be completely contradictory to club transfer policy. In comparison, Jack Cork is surely the more viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 22 June, 2014 Share Posted 22 June, 2014 There is no way we are going to sign Barry. Is he under 27? Is it contradicting our ethos of bringing through youth? Do we need a CM player? Does he have a resale value? Just no. Resale value on a free is not important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
