The logic is the rationale behind the signings. We're signing them because they are free. If they were commanding a significant transfer fee we probably wouldn't be anywhere near them.Would you have rather we spent £100m on them?
Don't get the logic?
Yep. This is our luck. Can guarantee it.
even the Palhinha smiley was spelt PaulAt least we're replacing Paulina and Erikson misspelled names.
Welcome Sensei.


Are we just making shit up now to get mad at?
The whole thread is made up
From most sources he’s given his word to sign, so if he backs out he’s not the kind of person that you want anyway.

Hopefully Robertson brings some much needed grit and a winning mentality, but as I've seen posted already, it seems odd that Frank and DeZerbi want the same player.
To me, it’s opportunism. Grab the freebies, and ask the manager to make them work.
Not really how you'd expect a Big 6 Club to operate.
It’s why you don’t create an individual player thread until they sign! Bad juju!
It's a bit ironic to accuse the club of being cheap for targeting freebies, when the reality is Levy tended to avoid the free transfer market cos it means paying higher wages and signing-on fees to see off the competition. Think the only one we've done in recent years outside of backup keepers was Perisic as a gift to Conte and we only gave him a 2 year deal.The logic is the rationale behind the signings.

Im old enough to remember Blackburn being 'bigger' than Spurs, and Leicester (twice) and Leeds, and West Ham.... it never ends well for the pretenders.This happens every time a smaller club has a good run in the league. Leicester fans were giving it the big one when they finished ahead of us a couple times, acting like they were a massive club, and now Bournemouth are in Europe (probably for the first time in the entire club's history?) you get the same shit.
Good for them - well run club who have had a couple good years - but even the hint of the suggestion that they're bigger than us in any way is a complete joke.
So had Willian......maybe.
Better shopsLocation also matters. Even if it doe so less now that the money in the league is so good full stop.
Location played a big part in Madders coming here since he and his wife (her especially) wanted to move to London. I have heard similar about Senesi. That his girlfriend wants to live in London. Which makes sense since there are probably more of their compatriots in London than Bournemouth.
