It just took sometime for the team to click with each other, the tactics and the league. The GK is the flaw in that argument IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is confirmed soon and we can stop this 'we are 1 of 5 teams not to have signed anyone' rubbish. This one signing will put us level or better than about 75% of clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knutserov13 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Still think we´ll end up signing Jack Butland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Fantastic deal. In this market, £16m is very good value. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For £6mill and poss cast off(s) I wouldn’t be overly bothered as I think working with Cutler could do him wonders confidence wise. Matty Cash & Butland for £20mill is good business IMO . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both signings we should make, no reported bids Isn't this everybody's problem though....Why would the Club necessarily be after someone you want them to purchase? Or be willing to pay the quoted fee if they were? The reality is, what the club are after and what you think they are are two different stories. Your guessing, they aren't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Luiz as the most obvious example, our current crop of players will have settled, have a year of PL experience, as well as Deano, and could go on to become revelations. If they can step up half as well as Luiz has, we WILL be harder to beat and get more points for sure! I'd even go as far as saying the current crop, on form displayed towards the end of the season could pick up a minimum of 9 more points. (44). Add some quality and a finisher to that. EDIT: Also thinking the boring "Premier League experience" signings might not be the worst. When we remember/realise we did majority of foreigners last season and have a large contingent of them already! For luiz you can easily say samatta went the other way, jacks form went the other way. We have 4 of our first 6 games which I would class as winnable. I'm not sure very many people would be too happy just going with last years squad into those games ? Plus the 5 substitutions is still a thing this season so squad strength and depth is more important this season than any other. If smith hadn't stated just quite how important getting his players in early was, im sure people would have that bit more patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 59 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: Need to get cracking. There shouldn't be any excuses this season but bedding in new signings is becoming a legitimate possibility that could cost us points. We've got a chance to make a decent start as well. Lovely. Overpaying is bad m'kay but if it's a case of getting someone in now or October 10th and the difference is £2m I think it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels a bit Targett ish happy to be proved wrong. 15-20m should get an international standard FB from a major euro league imo. At the same time Leicester are signing Timothy Castagne for 21.5m. 27 games for a very good Atalanta side last season and also got a few caps for Belgium so up and coming play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
