Every tom, dick and Harry knew we needed players and lots of them last summer. It was probably our weakest time to buy players. It wasn’t because people didn’t know how much we had to spend and how many players. i have no doubt.....none whatsoever....we’d have signed Maupay over Brighton. The point is we pulled out because it got a bit pricey. Edited September 7, 2020 by rayk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more special brew and stone Island than Vodka and ushanka. A recent small heath VT invasion seems plausible until you consider that most of the scallies would rather buy a bottle of cider than a £5 mobile top up for their phone.

Sulberto21 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I have been told by the pixies that we don't have £100m to spend it's actually £99.7 m hence why we're not getting the deals through. The pixies were also inbred had their teeth missing and had some ooze coming out of their noses. They were wearing blues shirts. I'm just passing on the information that I heard. Come to think of it I might have been on the waccy baccy because blues fans can't talk. But if you want to take it as gospel you're all welcome.

thunderball Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) 24 minutes ago, rayk said: Oh come on, Maupay was seen as too expensive at £20m when we only had Wes, Kodjia and Davis going into the season. But then we HAD to go into the market and waste £10m+ om Samatta BECAUSE we hadn’t signed Maupay. I mean it was such a false economy not to sign Maupay. And this season because EVERYONE knows we have crap strikers we’re gonna get fleeced on Watkins, Edouard or anyone BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW WE ARE DESPERATE. You buy players from a position of strength and get good deals, but from a position of weakness we may as well bend over and pull our trousers down. The cost of a player isn’t just his fee, it’s his Salary contract as well. FFP is not about what we spend on Fees, it’s all spending including salaries. Brighton could afford to pay more (fee + salary) than we were prepared to so it didn’t happen. Villa really wanted Maupay but it was too muchgiven everything that we needed to do, we allegedly sailed pretty close to the wind with FFP so we were sensible. Can we please stop pining for Maupay/Philips/Webster. Edited September 7, 2020 by thunderball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I don't get either extreme really. The flapping and abuse towards the club on twitter is way OTT. But the idea to just have complete faith is the same. Last summer we did some poor business and made some errors. We made surviving a very difficult task with the business we did. So far that hasn't changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Okay, I hoping to be proved wrong and that over the next few days we pull a rabbit....hopefully two... out of the bag. Edoaurd And Benrahma would be proper statements of intent. Lets just hope it’s not Brewster on loan to cover both positions..... UTV!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
