Well, I see Raum has been sin binned again and somehow I think it's you and your pals who are behind it...or not.

I sure didn't see him post anything as bad as say that Think Tank lad, who's just been using foul language for like 100 posts in a row.

You're on opposite sides, we sll bloody know it. Let's Lea it at that. But foul voting a dude because he's Pro/Anti ENIC is pretty shameful tbh
He’s a cunt and I didn’t even vote cause I ignore his shit. Take this to the bin thread or anywhere else but here.
 
We've already signed 3 though.... You'd think people could muster up a tiny bit of composure to see how the rest of the window plays, but it's seemingly beyond some people.......

2 (3?) days after Solomon was announced and the conspiracy theories and fan fiction has crept back in and the slightest hint of another club buying anyone leads to brown pants.
which would be a good camouflage of course.

Nope. From the banning thread.

I didn’t see anything worthy of being binned. I called him out for his shit post this morning about ENIC “snakes…slithering” but I didn’t foul vote him.

He’s just out of the bin though so he’s probably got a shorter leash than most people.
I think he’s an arrogant, toxic cunt as much as the next guy but we’ve made our peace. If I have a point of disagreement I’ll tell him what it is (and we do regularly) but I’ve never foul voted him.

We thrashed things out like adults in the end. Like me and Bazali Bazali .
 
Do you not remember the 2019 season? The hysteria on social media as the transfer deadline was approaching was something else. We also didn't buy anyone in jan.

It was the one and only time in the history of the PL that no player was transfered in by a club. I can't remember exactly, but we may have been the only club in the entirity of professional English football to not buy a player that season.

This is the problem with managers who are too rigid in their choice of players.

Poch only wanted Frenkie de Jong as a nidfield player and when he ultimately said no, there was no adequate replacement to fall back to buy


He did that with a 2nd player too (I forget who) so instead of 2 top young players coming in we ended up with zero new players in 2018.

Was there some contextual reason that might explain our lack of transfer activity?
 
Shot show surely Munn must have given his notice and then agreed start date with new employer. I can’t believe the total incompetence of these people supposedly “running” our football club. Munn was never gonna find next DOF. I reckon we only got Ange bcos Munn knew him and couldn’t really evaluate any other candidates. The transfer window / “policy” is a shit show. We buy porro with obligation to buy for a manager who never wanted to stay. £40M and he can’t play rb. Kulu shit season and £35M now when we could prbly find better packer RW than him. No CBs sogned and we still have all the donkeys dier Dav davies etc. at the moment it’s not looking good especially if Kane leaves. Do you trust anyone at the club to make right decisions? Fucking we will offsude rich as our cf who will be either offside or falling down cheating g looking for a foul.

A number of top employees have 6 month or even 12 month notice periods

And sometimes it can be more complicated such as '6 months unless next employer is a top 4 club in PL and in which case its 12 months' etc.

So if Munn thinks he is free to join Spurs in x months but City decide otherwise, then City may have the legal ability to stop Munn joining Spurs.
 
We definitely needed a new GK. We got one

We definitely needed creativity, we bought one of most creative players around.

Sure we also need other players including 2 new CB's.

But other clubs are NOT ahead of us in buying is the point I am making despite what many people seem to be told by other posters

And pretty much every club site there are fans whinging abut their squad - including ManCity despite spending £1 bn + over a few years.
Again I don’t care, we needed CB’s, creativity and a keeper this summer and we’ve done 2 out of the 3 - and we have form for stopping at this juncture.

It’s pointless comparing us to City - they could play Dier at CB and still win the league. Woolwich will soon have rice tied up - it’s not like they are trying to decide between him and Lanzini.

The fact we had 3 major areas of need just highlights our past failings in the market - this was the summer to get it right, strengthen early, get a good pre season and hopefully hit the ground running and do what the gooners did last year - ride the crest of the momentum wave. Instead we’re all fucked off because we’ve seen this movie before

Yeah. We support Spurs and that cunt is a Saka Fan Boy.
Tags in Newcastle fans to have a fucking dig too when he’s not talking up Lego Boy. He’s happy to run to admin repeatedly. Had him on ignore for a while but I’m all for booting off Woolwich fans.

Read the bit highlighted.

No other clubs in the list have done more than fix 2 out of 3 of their problems., some less

So be pleased we are not behind at this time - actually better off on incomings than others.

Lets see where we are at end of this window.

Good on you.

I say let's offer double what a prospective selling club might want and insist on whichever players we are after, signing-up pronto.

I'm in that boat of dissatisfied right with you as it tilts towards capsizing into the murky depths.
 
We used to have meltdowns over not signing any players for the whole Summer and leaving it late after the season started, not signing any CB's for the tour is disappointing but I don' think it's that deep, would be nice to get something wrapped up soon though.

I read it, but I still don’t care because it’s bollox. I don’t care if we were the only side in the league that made signings so far, we conceded the 5th most goals last season but haven’t strengthened at the back that is the point.

Yes we will likely address this problem this window - I still don’t care, it should have been addressed this week at the latest, the new CB should be on a plane to Australia, bonding with the lads, gelling with the team and being ready for next season. Instead we’re looking at playing a pair of CB’s in Australia that hopefully won’t be a pairing in the league next season - like another poster said, players stealing minutes.

It’s a joke, don’t tell me again that it’s okay because treble winning Man City have only bought one player so far, it’s not okay, it’s a disgrace
