Positive news lads.

Trix on SC has said the following re Savinho
" already know what the replies are going to be so no point @-ing me because I'm only passing on, but we still think this is one is a goer."

Get your donations in now.

Suspect this positive post is because once the window shuts and we've signed fuck all players the donations will stop so they are trying to get as much as they can before Monday evening

How dare this club try and show ambition


Angry He Man GIF
The same kind of ambition that Levy harbours of waking up in the morning having grown a full, natural head of hair.
 
But like even if you do believe they tried or they didn’t the only thing that matters is getting the deal done,

My point is I don’t believe the club thinks fans will feel better about the fact that ‘we tried’ because it’s clearly not the ‘trying hard’ and failing only makes everyone angrier than if it all happens behind closed doors and none of us are any wiser
Absolutely, if they did everything in the dark, and failed, we'd say the did F all all summer come TW close! Only real solution for them is to actually make some quality signing, or as you say getting the deal done.

Would help if you put who he’s talking about. Then again don’t bother, because whoever it is that’s definitely fucking ruled it out.
 
I’d rather sign no one else than to bring in squad filler that is no better than our current players. We have a long history of not being able to move on this type of player.

So please, bring in quality or fire up the winter transfer thread!
So what happens in November/December when we’re playing mid week and cups and the squad picks up injuries?

We literally don’t have enough warm bodies at fullback or AM, we comically somehow have less depth than last year.

We need at the very least someone. Even if it’s just a loan, a #10 is an absolute necessity. Not signing one would be catastrophic malpractice

It's too late in the day to sign this profile of player IMO, you want to sniff out players entering the last year of their deals, coveted players at relegated clubs etc by June/July and get them signed for good value early doors, leaving it til the last minute has you panic-buying the likes of BEK for £35m and relinquishing any chance of breaking even (or even profiting) if the move doesn't work out and you need to move the player on.

However unless Frank has specfically told Levy he can work with what he has in Sarr/Bergvall in terms of making something work in the 10 role we really need to get someone in, if we don't we are waiting til Jan at the earliest with potentially 8 CL games, anywhere up to 5 cup games and 16-17 league games to play before the Jan deadline. Injuries in the midfield could be utterly catastrophic for our season if we don't bring cover in now, at bare minimum Donley's loan needs cancelling as he's the closest we have on our books to a traditional 10.
 
Still baffling to see men whos been hired to deal with transfers said "I hate IT". Levy fall in love at interview I guess
Levy’s biggest football failure is actually not even a personal one imo.

His issue is he’s incredibly shite at reading and picking talent, and he has no clue what he actually wants. He is constantly conned into hiring the wrong person, listening to the wrong advisors, trusting the wrong agents and people. Our strategy is a whirlwind of wild swings from one philosophy to another because he has zero personal conviction. He has poor judgment and I think it stems from being a bit of a weirdo who lacks people skills
 
Totally agree. There is no grand conspiracy, we're just rubbish at identyfying targets and going all out to get them. Everything seems to be half hearted and on the hoof. Its all about market opportunities at any given time , there is never a plan. Its mistaking lacklustre incompetence for a conspiracy theory.

Yup...... As the saying goes:

"It's not that deep........ It rarely is.".
