Might be and prob is a load of nonsense but I’d rather read positive nonsense than the equally shite negative nonsense certain posters are writing in here. 🙂

“
MGW I still think will happen. Talks have been ongoing despite what the press are being told, and although Forest keep moving the proverbial goalposts every time his people feel they are making headway it suits nobody for him to stay.

Rodrygo interest is genuine from what I'm told.

We should start to see the outs next week, and more change at the top table within the next few weeks/months.”

Tel and Danso will play a decent amount of football. They'll add actual options rather than no hopers. Fact is, your post was a twitter page saying we've only spent £55m which is less than half what we've actually spent.

Danso was signed in Jan, it was an obligation.

So are you adding the Danso and Tel fees to last seasons spend?
It has to go somewhere. If it's in last seasons then it's over £150m gross spend and about £120m net.

Walob . He looks fantastic from what little I have seen and I am very positive . However let’s not be disingenuous and list him as a new signing in this window . If your argument is well he is new to the team it weakens any argument ref Tel and Danso being new additions . Can’t have it both ways .

My view for what it’s worth

Vuskovic could be a super star but who really knows
Tel pretty meh last season , but way too early to write off
Danso a pretty solid start and a very useful addition
Takai : I have no view , but minimal downside

Well no - they are completely different circumstances.

Our primary motivation, as fans, should be to have a good squad. It shouldn't matter how old they are, how much they earn, how much they cost, and certainly shouldn't be even remotely about what the accountants have to figure out. The only aspect of fee I worry about is the weight of the price tag on expectations, which can have a huge effect on a player with the pressure associated with a big fee.

So, with that in mind, we haven't been able to use Vuskovic before. He's a new player available to use in our squad. How is that not the exact same thing as a 'new signing' - same as Takai?

The only way it wouldn't count is if people are obsessing over irrelevant bullshit like "winning" a transfer window or some other type of nonsense that has absolutely no correlation to the season itself. If we had a deal that Messi would sign for us this summer that was agreed in 2021, saying he wouldn't be a "new signing" would be no more than a technicality and would be absurd.

Equally, Tel and Danso are players that we didn't have available at the start of last season, and they had no pre-season with us. Retaining a player that was on loan is very much a new signing, the same way it was a big deal when we managed to keep Adebayor. The primary focus, and the only relevant metric, is having a better team than we did a year ago.

He doesn't immediately improve us, he's a squad player. We should be doing this and we are...

We also need to give our new manager atleast 2 or 3 senior players ready to make an impact right now and ship those we know are not good enough or can't stay fit.

Did you not see him player the other day? There's absolutely no way you sign an 18 year old CB built like a brick shithouse that looks a bit like he could be the new ginger pele (well, an actually decent version) and blends in with 'senior' players - if not stands out - and say that it doesn't immediately improve us.

Any squad depth at CB that looks ready to step in absolutely does. He's not a Phillips, Dorrington, or CCV type player, that is for sure - he's a senior international who has been playing senior football for 2 seasons now

I kind of feel like pretty much all of those Ajax players were a lot of hype but mostly tripe.

I mean, we beat them in the CL after all with a midfield people are very critical of, and without Kane. When you look at it, Onana, de Ligt, van der Beek, de Jong, Neres, Ziyech (among others) never really got better. They just got hyped up a lot.

People might disagree on frenkie de Jong, but I feel like his career highlights have been digging in at Barca while they try to sell him. Off the radar otherwise
