They absolutely weren't serious ones, almost every Club in Europe it seems was "linked" because Barca is absolutely desperate to get his wages off their books.

Agree with the rest. But are issues aren't unique all PL Clubs are struggling to get rid of players as the wages are high compared to those in other Leagues in Europe. These issues have been occurring for a decade and are getting worse since COVID as many European clubs haven't recovered.

Not interested in other clubs as I'm not as invested or interested in the context to each unique situation.

Using other clubs as examples is pure whataboutery.

In the context of this club, it's inexcusable imo.

Meh, there's no obligation or option.

Pretty obvious we explored it and wanted to secure him for the future, if Brighton want to loan him for the benefit of Barca, good for them, if that's the case and if that's what Barca wanted we were never in the race, not quite the coup or the gazumping people are trying to make it out to be, Brighton are just cucking for Barca.

Understand your viewpoint. On other hand I'm worried about Son, and how many goals he has in him these days.

But surely the idea about Angeball is that there will be far more opportunities for far more players to score, therefore, the figures being bandied about do not seem that far off being possible?

This is the beauty of #angeball it seems, BUT if you want the highest chance of winning things or at least getting into the top 3, you want a good variety of players in your team knocking in say 3-8 goals IN ADDITION to your strikers knocking in 10-20+
 
According to ITK, we are now allowed to know that we have been chasing FATI since APRIL, this is why our ITK are so angry Levy pulled the plug.

This part of the ITK was only shared ‘behind the scenes’.

The minions were only told about the ongoing Fati deal this week, once ‘it was in the press’.

:ange-lips:
 
We need another decent CD
We need another mid to ship Hoejberg and fatty
We desperately need a renowned striker Kane replacement

The worry is unless miracle with Richy and Son the goals will dry and another mediocre season

I really can’t see who is going to score 20 plus PL goals to have a good season

To add, the bench of Glc, Davies, Sanchez, Skipp, Scarlett, HG, Dier, Solomon is p!ss poor. These are most of the players who finished 8th last season.

Obviously a lot easier to get starts for Forest than City. Even Foden has had to be extremely patient there. But watching him play, you can see the ability is there with Palmer.

Spence is an example of a guy who played regularly at Forest but can't get a game at a bigger club. Let's hope Johnson fares a lot better if he comes.

I think you're just making this up tbh.
You can't have seen more than a few minutes of Palmer as nobody has.
 
Let's all be honest this transfer window is a 1/10. We have once again failed to strengthen the team and in the sale of Harry Kane and lack of replacement we are weaker than ever because we do not have a starting centre forward that can score goals. The fact is I put this year down as a rebuilding one and just wanted to see some hope but I just don't.

Come the 2nd September we are going to still have on our books 4 or 5 players deemed surplus to requirement and it is not because no one wants these players it is because of a constant over pricing of players we want out the door.

Surely it would be better to get Ndombele off the wage bill than asking for his depreciated value. Surely a player like Dier has zero value now. Why are we turning down bids of £7m for Rodon when it would be better for him and us to just getting him off the books.
