Transfers January Transfer Thread 24/25

[Distaste for scouse]

Biggest "we tried" since Dybala?

Pretty tough to come back from this and sign a forward now. Anyone you chase knows they were your second choice.

Sign Tomori and Dibling, give Dane Scarlett a chance. Unless you can get Bakayoko or someone like that.

I called it a few days ago that we would do an "we tried" transfer at the last knockings of this window. And that gullible people in our fanbase would lap it up and buy it.

Its absolutley nonsensical to me that you don't sound out if a player is interested before you make a bid.

We knew he wasn't fucking interested and Levy is probably sighing with relief that he doesn't have to fork out. All while further embarrassing our club and making us look absolutley tin pot.

Which is what he's best at.

It's funny how Levy has apparently flown over there to just be rejected? Considering he has been responsible for appointing Ange, and maintaining these low standards, how come he expected Tel to join a relegation candidate?

Dude obviously thinks he's persuasive! Break glass and out crawls the cockroach!

 

[Tomo]

Get Tomori in and pay a bit extra to get Dibling in now or another RW. Can’t blame Mauni and Tel rejecting us, many would.

 

[Ed Vanderlay]

We travelled all the way to Munich. Levy was outside of his room with a boombox playing "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel... Only for him to reject us.. This is a sad sad day.

Great song but maybe Levy should try singing in your bank

We Tried FC

 

[JDefoe]

This is such an obvious PR stunt in hindsight.

 

[Distaste for scouse]

Not sure it is that black and white. You sound the player out and he says he is open to a move. You negotiate a salary and he agrees. You speak to his club and agree a fee. Meanwhile, the player has second thoughts and flutters eyelids at other 'bigger' clubs and his agent leaks stories to the press.

bollocks

Back to booing Levy

Does seem what's the point of Lange if he ain't the one negotiating the deals ?
And Levy still can't let go

This one is bad for Levy tbh. He went there to give it the big one and they said "We liked you better when you had that Danish guy".

Tough one for him, especially with all the heat he's been taking.

Wonder if Kane told Tel it's a great club but be careful with Levy if you ever want to leave.

 

[Football Chap]

How long until we hear from one of the club sources that the club decided Tel wasn't the right fit

 

[manmountainbutters]

Im pleased Levy went all the way to Munich to have the door shut in his face. Cunt.

Maybe he will realise you cant sign good players and managers if you dont take your team seriously.

Click to shrink...

Door slammed on his fingers maybe? No, no, that would not be good. He's our leader and we should show respect.

 

[PapeMasterclass]

Tel is a talented teenager, but was never going to do anything noteworthy this season in the Premier League.

We should be looking at a completely different profile if we want to improve immediately.

 

[Oracle]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a smokescreen and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens ends up with us to be fair. Quote me, bookmark me, fuck you etc etc etc. We need English players more than ever and a pure LW option more than a jack of all trades master of some.

The whole Tel story is far too public for how we operate.

[Kane's left]

Ive known about Tel for 3 years. Hes spent time at Clairefontaine and Rennes, his goal scoring record is very good… hes got top class pedigree.

World class potential.

I'm intrigued to know more. What's the name of his trainer? Does he prefer hard or soft ground? Does he prefer hurdles or chasing?

 

[Billy Bob mate]

Or perhaps....Levy never went to Germany.

This is wild you know...

Really don't understand it. Unless Tel's agent played us along to try and shake out other bidders.

Romano confirmed as well. It is over. I haven't heard many other names in the pot for us lol

Click to shrink...

I think his actual words to Levy were

 

[JDefoe]

We tried though. That’s the important bit. As we languish in 15th with two fit senior forwards, everyone should remember that we tried. Maybe “we tried” can score for us.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

Yeah 15th and 16th likely after Everton win tel wouldn't drop bayern for that

Ouch...
