edprice1984 Posted 1 October, 2020 Share Posted 1 October, 2020 Feels like another window wasted (at the moment). Clearly getting players off the books is still important, but at some point Ralph is going to get fed up and walk away without proper backing. Also, Charlie Wayman - not sure why it is so awful to suggest that Mario Licka's wife is a very attractive woman? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicBoom Posted 1 October, 2020 Share Posted 1 October, 2020 I don't really understand why people get so annoyed by the lack of signings in a transfer window and blame the club. If a top 6 club want you they are probably paying top dollar - so you go. For everyone else, your agent is going to recommend you hold off for as long as possible. The later in the window you leave it, the more desperate the buying club becomes and more likely to throw more money at you. I expect the club have made offers for several players but the agents are telling their clients to wait. You would too wouldn't you? The club know they are going to get criticised if they don't land a signing or two. It's why everything goes to the last minute. Some of those players we've spoken to may well be very keen to come here, but there is no advantage to them saying yes yet is there. I do feel for the club. They don't know which players will say yes so it must be tough to know whether to move to a different target or not so as not to get left with no one! The only way to push signings through is to massively over pay - and that's how you get stuck with Carillo and Hoedt and Boufal etc etc. The only tie we can really judge is when the window is closed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Mane and Toby but the deal took a couple of weeks as we had snippets beforehand. I personally think we will only get one loan deal in before Monday as we’ve left it too late. 2003.

WALK DMC Posted 1 October, 2020 Share Posted 1 October, 2020 2 hours ago, TWar said: If Danny Ings doesn't sign a contract then next summer he will have one year left. This means either we sell him then at a dramatically reduced price or we allow him to go on a free the following summer. This is pretty basic stuff. It is not "garbage". The only thing that would prevent this situation is him signing a contract, which he has yet to do hence the "at the moment". Didn't realise people would need this explicitly spelled out for them. Also where did Ings say he was definitely staying? If that is the case why hasn't he signed a contract yet? Despite some of the negative reactions, your point makes perfect sense to me. As well as Ings, we also have Bednarek and Armstrong in the same position of contract finishing in 2 years. That could mean three players that we'll want to sell next summer if we want to generate any income. I personally suspect that due to their ages, both Armstrong and Ings will sign extensions - but nothing is certain. I'm even more worried that neither Bertrand & Romeu have signed extensions, this means that both may leave for nothing next summer. On the basis that our current business model remains - we only spend what we bring in, how do we replace two first team regular when we get nothing for them ? While next summer seems a long way off, I think that they can start negotiating with foreign teams from 1st Jan, and for someone like Romeu I suspect that would be very attractive. Maybe we'll be under new owners by then, but unless they want to make significant investments the slow decline of our first team squad of premiership experienced players will continue.

Dusic Posted 1 October, 2020 Share Posted 1 October, 2020 For a permanent deal to happen, especially for a player from abroad, I would think we would hear something from good sources by the end of Friday, surely?

Pat from Poole Posted 1 October, 2020 Share Posted 1 October, 2020 Sorry for being off-topic, but Turkish is sadly missed on the UI. Hope to see him back there soon.

Unless some miracles happen with Carillo and Hoedt departing to free up a bit more cash. I’d really like somebody like Kouyate at Palace. A good strong midfielder who can also play CB. Not that Palace would be daft enough to sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
