    That's debatable!

    My feeling is he's not that keen and we are last resort, but also the only ones offering the right cash. So it will come down to the last few days and whether others up their offer - might still happen but unlikely.

    Terreur is usually accurate I think. From here

    Which one knocks the dominos over?
  5. rubberman
    Perhaps not bargain, but not that high relatively these days. And had he not got injured and scored 12-15 goals this season it would have been pretty decent.

    Like Wesley?

    The water is halfway up the vertical axis of the glass, but due to its increasing diameter as it rises and at the same time, its decreasing glass thickness, volume-wise it is definitely half empty.

    It's interesting to look at the performance of other summer signings that make ours look not that bad. Moise Kean, Pepe, Joelinton, Haller, etc- it's not easy to find a bargain - plenty of wasted cash about.

    Anyway - good news: it's wednesday tomorrow...#tapsnose.

    For the experience to be really valuable, it would have been better for an experienced journo to actually show him how to do an interview. But my point was that stories in clickbait local papers can literally be written by 16 year olds. I might ask him how fans reacted to this surprising transfer link....
  11. rubberman
    Exactly true. My 16 year old son did work experience at one of these and having gone in expecting to be photocopying and making tea, within 3 days he was sent out with a photographer to do an interview and write a story. #csb

    I meant in terms of backroom and support staff, which I would reckon still holds true.

    There are indeed two ways to look at it. Either the entire management, recruitment and scouting team of one of the biggest football clubs in the world are all useless. Or you're wrong and it's not that simple.

    Every window I think it'll be different, but every time the club is criticised for not getting in the best [insert position here] within a week for ££. Do you really think its that easy? Of course targets have been identified, but they all rely on agents, clubs, other players - the whole merry-go-round. We will do our business, but inevitably it is complicated. Having urgent needs makes it harder, not easier.

    You know it's 2020 now, right?
  16. rubberman
    We're 10 days into the window and have signed one player. Maybe wait and see how the rest of the month pans out before letting the despair set in.

    God, I hope we get some proper news today...

    ... And if benteke carries on like he has for the last few years, netting us a single goal in April? All those good memories and goodwill will soon disappear and that would be a shame.

    I don't know, but I'd hazard a guess that Levy will be going for a loan/delayed payment/silly offer as per usual. If they are in need of cash, we might be a financially better deal and overall more attractive to the club, if not the player.
  20. rubberman
    Yes - I'm sure I saw that too. Seems to be getting a little on the tight side now though - do we have till lunchtime tomorrow to get it done?
  21. rubberman
    Saw somewhere that Spurs might be in for Piatek as a Kane replacement. If that's only a loan we might still have a chance if they are desperate for cash, but otherwise I can't see us getting it over the line.
  22. rubberman
    Still sounds as though we are hoping to have a forward in by the weekend, so there must be some action going on that is keeping very quiet. If we are going to get a first choice and a back-up I really hope we get someone exciting before a clogger. I know it doesn't always work that way but the (striker) names touted about so far fill me mostly with depression.

    Well to be frank, I do know they are clickbait because there is nothing to suggest that any of it is anything other than a bit of random speculation. 'reportedly offered to' - second hand information and when has a club ever brought in a player they were 'offered'. It's not how it works. 'given the fact that Smith wants a midfielder, a move this month could potentially suit both parties.' - I could write this with as much authority. 'might be an interesting left field swoop this month' - again, just random guessing. I know it's the transfer thread and about speculation, but there's a speculation source blacklist (for new player threads) because of the crap that's out there. Personally I'd prefer transfer speculation to have some foundation from reasonable sources or at least be an obvious personal preference. [rant over]

    Dave - all this type of link are just clickbait. Literally nothing of substance - "reportedly offered to" = no interest from us, maybe an agent touting around someone unhappy, probably not even that. Just ignore them.
