Window Cleaner Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 Well if that's the case, then maybe we should go after Slimani instead. Already proven in PL and will be hungry to do well. If you say so, I know nothing about him except that he's a bit part player at Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 If you say so, I know nothing about him except that he's a bit part player at Leicester. Yeah he's a good player and wants to play regularly. A real target man. Would thrive on some of the crosses that Bertie and Cedric whip into the box. Perhaps a loan option to buy at end of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Les failed if the club make a valuation on a player and then offers that amount only to be turned down? Failed to sign him yes, but failed? If you value a player and then only get the player by paying twice as much (thereby reducing the funds to spend elsewhere) is that really success for a director? Just asking...

So no surprise clubs will now try and fleece us. Exactly - amateur negotiations from the club here really. So desperate to let everyone know we’d received a world record fee. Given we sold VVD before the window even opened it is outrageous, given our position, that we are going into the last week of the window without anyone secured (or even close by the sounds of it).

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 I don't understand why we're not trying to sign Ben Brereton from Forest. He looks like a real prospect. He looks sharp and hungry and knows what it's like to play in the UK, unlike some of the ****e we've signed recently. Sadly, it looks like he might be going to Liverpool to sit on the bench. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to pretty blinkered not to except the VVD deal will colour other clubs view of how much we can afford to pay for players. As for the reality of the situation. it is pretty obvious the club have ****ed up our transfer policy over three windows leaving us with a squad not good enough to compete in the top half of the league (though not so bad we should be contemplating relegation) Pelle left three windows ago and still hasn't been effectively replaced its a bit rich to try a make out we are struggling to find a big CF type of player because there aren't any available...for three transfer windows but don't let the reality of the situation get in the way of your red and white tinted specs hey.

Liverpool wanted him in the summer for £40m then upped it £75m and I would guess that for them to pay over the odds in relation to what they wanted to pay six months ago was because they wanted to get the deal done early. Where did I say we have struggled to get a big CF in for three windows, I was answering your post about this window and your assertion that we should have got our signings already lined up and that we had asked Liverpool to keep the fee quiet until we had made our signings. But you think big bad Les could resist showing the world how brilliant he is. All ********. You don't know any of that and none of it bears any resemblance to the reality of a transfer like VVD, seriously when have you every heard of a world record transfer fee being kept quiet for a month after the player has started playing for their new team. Also do you really think a struggling team like Southampton is going to have players lining up to join them so they can get them in early in the transfer window. Players in our market will be waiting to see what deals they have been offered, their agents will be on the phone all month. If we hadn't sold VVD Monaco would still try to squeeze as much out of us, we are in the richest league, we are in trouble, it's January and there are not many strikers on the market and he probably doesn't want to cone here. It's naive to think otherwise. We have clearly ****ed up recently, the league table doesn't lie. Maybe we haven't wanted to buy a big CF, maybe we have tried to change our style which has failed. See how I offered that up as suggestions rather than a string of false facts, like you do but then I'm not desperate to moan about Les Reed which you lot are obsessed with.
