Hold on wasn’t he in the Euro final and winning it? Solanke has been holiday in Miami or something like that as we wasn’t deemed good enough for England squad not even stand by.Oh so we can't wait for the right player but Liverpool can, brilliant.
Let's roll out all the excuses and totally ignore the fact they've waited all Summer to make their first signing yet since Spurs are now singing a striker people question the club's ambition and aren't backing the manager
This place man
They let Tiago go
Looks like that offer is not gonna come and will not be welcome by richi
But we bought a few players already like MADDs and Vic. Think it was only VDV and Johnson that came late. Destiny and Sarr were already at the club.
Something that Brian Clough would have done in a Little Chef.
I genuinely found and find his elevation utterly baffling. Peter princple imho.
The transfer window song-"Tired of Waiting"
Offer came and Richy said no.
Now they have to be a big club and buy the players they need even if he decides to stay
Wow. That is backing a manager. Massive signing for such a tinpot club.
Levy is being exposed here big time.
Massively closed the gap on us this summer and with us having Europe and them not they could be on for one of their 1 in 10 years they finish above us.
No Euro footy, no mega sales, yet they have gone out and spent.
We’re still holding our dicks waiting for £15m to come in for Emerson Royal.
Honestly it’s pathetic - yes we will make signings, but why is it always at the end of the fucking window, what exactly have we been doing in the meantime
You can talk to a player when he’s only got 6 months or less left of his contract. Before that it’s illegal.
No one cares anymore, players negotiate with clubs way before their contract is up through their agents.
They'll have a very good team, I may be wrong but too bad about their manager, I don't think he is all that
Their director or whoever that guy is incharge of transfers seems great
I will guess that, as usual, the team that wins the transfer window struggles.
Not a single one of their signings gets in our starting eleven. Though they have improved on a squad that was bang average to start with. So fair play to them.
Looking at their fixtures, could quite easily lose their first three league games too.
But this happens every summer. Some random small team gets sucked off for making signings.
Comparing their squad to ours is pointless. As you say they have improved their squad and shown ambition both in terms of money spent and profile of player targeted (Todibo is hot property and was touted for Juve/Barca).
No one knows how the signings will adapt but at least the intent is there from the ownership to improve the football team. That's all that fans want to see each year.

Sorry, my friend, but that’s patently untrue.
Fans — even West Ham fans (and I have now acquired a whole host of them via a marriage and am occasionally forced into cohabitation with them) — want to see their team win trophies.
Fortunately, they are cousins by marriage and a whole ocean or two away.
