OTF 477 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) I wasn't expecting a great window, or even a good one, but I thought we'd at least get one or two in in the final few days. Long season ahead. Edited August 31, 2017 by OTF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see Shearer has passed comment on it so tweet him and tell him and let him know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus I don't doubt he appreciates us as fans, and the family geography thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Can't get my head around how low we've stooped. Kind of numb to it though whereas I'm angry about Mbappe to PSG. To be honest when Rafa goes it'll be a relief - I'll still support the club but with no fervour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OTF 477 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Guys it's ok, there's 6 deals subject to approval still to be announced in the league. Only question is do we have 6 players that are saleable or are some of that 6 incoming deals for other clubs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rayvin 1,321 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I kinda get that there's a process we're all going through here but is it honestly conceivable that Rafa didnt know how much we had to spend at least in the past month? I doubt today has surprised him. But who knows. Either way, he's here for now and if he sees out the season, will probably ensure we dont get relegated. After that, we probably will have money to spend. #optimism Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not counting those who had no first-team future (Vuckic, Satka, Mbabu) and those who are coming back (Armstrong, Toney) that's 11 outbounds and 6 incomings. No side in the world has ever been promoted and gone "You know what would be great? To sell twice as many players as we bring in for our consolidation season." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I naively thought it would've been different this time, but they never change. 10 years and they've learned nothing, fucked up in 2009, almost fucked up in 2013 and 2015, fucked up in 2016 and now they're squandering one of the biggest opportunities we've probably had in my time, albeit a short one, of supporting this club. They've lucked out by having Benitez fall into their laps and still managed to completely fuck it up. There is no reason whatsoever not to back him, wank little Huddersfield Town have backed their boss with 4 times as much cash (net), Brighton not far behind them but we've deliberately and purposely decided that £11m is all Benitez is worth. I utterly despise the cunts running this club. Absolutely no point in struggling to get promoted only to make funds available to buy half of Demarai Gray. What was the point? Why were we all watching Brighton's games? Why did we bother worrying about Huddersfield's form or penchant for nicking late goals? Why did we worry? Absolutely no point or reason to continue to support this mess or the utter wankers that run it. It's just futile, if ever there was a time to back someone and see us progress it was this window, right now, and we've actively refused to compete. I'll still be there at the Stoke game if Rafa's here, like. Edited August 31, 2017 by Haydnator 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

acrossthepond 214 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Here's a fun exercise. Vurnon Anita released Sammy Ameobi released Yoan Gouffran released Haris Vuckic released Lubo Satka released Florian Thauvin sold Kevin Mbabu sold Matz Sels loaned Adam Armstrong loaned Daryl Murphy sold Ivan Toney loaned Emmanuel Riviere released Siem De Jong sold Grant Hanley sold Tim Krul loaned Achraf Lazaar loaned Take that heap of shit and make a first XI out of it, then predict where it would finish in the Championship. Bonus points to anyone who fires up FM and actually makes that team and plays as it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
