Low chance, which is coincidentally the type of chance we had of winning things this year.

I got to admit when I thought Antonio Nusa was coming to us I thought he's gonna be a star.
Now he's going Brentford I think he's fucking shit
Don't be silly.
We wanted him
We enquired about him
Undoubtedly we were told the price
We knew the price
So did Brentford
Brentford paid it, or close to it
We were gazumped. We've been watching him since last summer, and we dawdled so fucking long, a little team like Brentford came in and did the deal.
Grealish all over again. In a year or 2 this kid will be moving on again for money well out of our reach.
Probably to Brighton as the one of the other unrestricted-by-ffp teams. They'll blow us out of the water with a £35m offer for him.
Typically the opposite, isn't it? Players who come here are just "proof Levy is a cheap bastard", but the ones that don't are obviously world class future Ballon d'Or winners we were too cheap to buy.
Seems much more likely to me that in his heart he wants his future to be with a club like City/United/Chelsea and knows its more likely he ends up there if he goes and succeeds at Brentford who will be much more likely to sell a young top talent than try to hold on to him and/or sell him abroad."We were gazumped"
We were gazumped by BM, how did that work out for them?
If the kid, believes that his future lies plying his trade for a mid-table, small club with little chance of European football, and finite financial ability with which to compete then fair enough.
I would prefer Ange bring in an ambitious, hungry, fearless prospect.
Udogie being the prime example of this and he actually started for a team in a tougher league. He didn't shy away from having to challenge for a starting spot.
In my humble opinion the the player is being poorly advised.
Probably right
Low chance, which is coincidentally the type of chance we had of winning things this year.
Bidding for vini Jr as we speakI have also heard that the back up plan if Spurs failed to get Nusa was to make a late bid for Mbappe...
I agree they are the types of signings we should be looking at as we struggle to compete when a player becomes the finished article.Realistically those are the kind of signings we have to be looking at, with that kind of cheap fee. I have no confidence those kind of signings can be done in the time we go left.
Just saying, it feels like an opportunity to take advantage of a dead market
Yeah our attack is primed for someone to break into."We were gazumped"

The market is Jan is dead regardless because no-one wants to let players go regardless of the fact that Prem teams were facing P&S issues.
Fuck Lamptey always injured. Another SessDo think were admirers of ferguson at brighton. Also think we should go for lamptey as back up to porro. City can fuck off in summer trying to get porro. Unless they pay for stadium. Id accept a bid of 852m for him.
Less than 100 hours to go in this window.Unless you pay a premium I agree.
That’s under normal circumstances though. This window when nobody has money, maybe things loosen up a bit.
Or Norwegian Ryan Sess?Or else he’s the Norwegian Bostock and you would be moaning about baldy taking a punt on some unknown kid.
Give it a fucking rest.
