Feel like I’m putting more energy to looking for updates on transfers instead of my job lol can’t wait for the window to shut now... with a couple of additions to add obviously.

Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

WiFi passwords! Brilliant.
1) Yes, it got close to getting into top 4. But there were many things against us - the English and Belgium coningent having 0 preseason, horrific luck with injuries, Son being away on international duty for multiple times, deep run in CL (which did not help EPL form for sure), playing most of the season away at Wembley
2) WINDOW IS NOT OVER. Come on, carve it to your skull. If the situation is same on friday, we can revisit it. Also - Toby nor Eriksen have not left for free. We can revisit it when either of this happens.
3) Why was Poch saying X or Y. I don't know. And you don't either. Don't try to seriously suggest that you do.
4) I have been around enough. There have been singers of doom for ages now. Last summer we were expected to finish 7th and there was supposed to be fire and brimstone. Well, yea, I saw both of them in our CL quarter- and semifinals...
5) Don't come out and claim that our transfer policy has been the sole issue with no trophies in Poch era. This has been visited multiple times, but in domestic cup semifinals Poch has absolutely shoot our own foot in number of times. Based on squad (and clearly backed by our performances against the same opposite teams in EPL games) we shouldn't have lost to either Chelsea nor to ManU in FA semifinals. But we did.
Juve has made a career out of this.
When the club refuses or finds itself incapable of buying a single player to add to the squad for two successive transfer windows, it's embarrising, naive and downright pathetic to then blame our alarming drop in form on injuries and fatigue.
We were the architects of our own problems.
The transfer windows exist to give teams the opportunity to strengthen, refresh, rejuvinate, improve.
We shat the fuckin bed and ducked out of two in a row, then lost 20 fucking games across all competitions.
The level of cult status enjoyed by Levy/ENIC, from some members of this forum, is really quite disturbing

Haha, "Ryan Sessegnon, who remains a teenager despite growing a day older every 24 hours..."
I’m no football chairman, but sure this should have been identified and prioritised at the start of the window?
I'd be able to accept either RM or Juve but if he goes to UTD I'm gonna have to unfollow him on all social media channels...and he's gonna be gutted
I love the guy, but have to agree with this statement. Not to mention not starting Moura in the CL final, although one could argue that, were it not for that 1st minute penalty, things could have been different.
The repeated negativity of some members of this forum simply defies the term "supporter" ... how does post after post criticizing the club show any level of support? You're just a sad boring little boy, don't like the game then stop playing ... it's pretty simple ... you'd probably be a lot happier and I'm damned sure we all would be.
What do you think your negative posts are going to achieve? Do you think that we will all stop following the club many of us have supported since before you were born just because of your bullshit? What is your purpose?
He'll only go to Utd if we allow him to. He's still our player under contract. We have the final say.I'd be able to accept either RM or Juve but if he goes to UTD I'm gonna have to unfollow him on all social media channels...and he's gonna be gutted
The day's of strengthening our rivals have passed, haven't they?
Yeah sure, let's get in a few more N'Koudous or N'jies or N'Whatevers, just to say we bought someone. And then we will moan about that.
Don't you understand that the reason we didn't buy anyone is because the players we were targeting were not gettable? How difficult is that to comprehend?!
If you're going to moan, you could at least do so for us not going after Lo Celso last year, for example, when he would have been much easier and cheaper to secure. Or, assuming we need a RB (which is a big if), not waiting until next year for Atal when he will be even more expensive and difficult to get. You'd have a point there. But spare me the "we didn't buy anyone for two windows" whining.
John Thomas now the king of white slavery .... yet still a clueless businessman, like we all didn't know that already. You want to walk away from 50m and pay out another 3m in salary? then you'll be the first to complain we don't have any money to spend .... dumb as a stump and that's harsh on the stump.

How is it negative to highlight our ducking out of two successive transfer windows as a contributing factor in our alarming end of season collapse in form.
Its called realism. Refusing to be sucked in by this weird, disturbing cult that's formed on here around Levy/ENIC.
If you and others think supporting you're club means blindly worshipping one man and every policy and action he enforces then you go for it .
Forget it, man. Him and a few others are sad individuals. I feel sorry for their wives/kids, assuming they have either. If they're such downers on this forum, imagine in real life. Yeesh.
I think it's got the point where it's take 50-60m - even from Utd - is better than him going for nothing in 12 months time.
I don't like the idea of him going to Utd, but that's a massive amount of money to piss away otherwise.
