Howay 12447 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) This is becoming very close to the “just can’t get him over the line” banter. It’s almost exactly the same as the way the Botman deal was reported. Can we just get some more realistic targets in? Surely someone is willing to sell like Gladbach who Isegrim pointed out. Why the fuck are our lot being so focused on certain players rather than trying to improve the team? Edited January 17, 2022 by Howay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2124 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Dembele isn't worth the hassle. He's reportedly asked Barca for a weekly wage of roughly 650k, and they've understandably baulked at that number hence why they're trying to get rid of him.

Hes constantly late for training and seems to be more interested in being a pretend super star than actually working hard enough to be a real one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14527 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Not sure why some of you can’t work out that a lot may happen in the last couple of days of this window when selling clubs have their hands forced or we get ultra desperate. This thread is largely a waste of bandwidth till then Happy Tuesday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4183 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just now, OTF said: Whatever happens we're definitely naive. We also need to overspend on players because we don't have the luxury of time. That is not that true. We only have one more game in January at this point, which is in four days, then we have nothing until the 8th of Feb. If we end up needing to wait until near the end of the window to get deals done or force them through then that's ok really, not ideal but if we sign anyone now they're not that likely to have a lot of training time before needing to be chucked in against Leeds, which will have limited benefits.

The Fish 8947 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I appreciate that we don't want to set precedent of massively overspending, but they have to be aware of our particular set of circumstances and accept that we are going to have to pay over the odds because we're; in the relegation zone are a Premier League club are the richest club on the planet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming at it more from the angle that clubs do not want to lose quality players part way through the season and therefore in January you have to pay more than those players may otherwise be worth. That's the unfortunate situation we're in. Add to that that we're odds on for relegation and we also have to pay over the top in wages as well. It sucks but it's the way it is.
