I don't get this kind of posts. So we should not comment him until the end of summer window? By that logic players should not be criticized/praised until season ends.
I don't understand your post? We are less than a week into a transfer window and everything goes through Joel Glazer. Murtough isn't a miracle worker.
I was never fully convinced by his appointed from the beginning, look at his remit, he's not got a track record.
So now it is on Glazer? Come on. Joel gave him budget. 20,50, 100 mil...whatever. It was up to him to make a plan how to spend that budget.
So you're putting the entire blame on Joel Glazer? The reason we cant work more than one target, or work on more simple ones first before doing the trickier one.
It is absolutely fair to see what happens but I think it is unfair to target this guy just yet. We know the club is a shambles and the ownership has been the consistent factor in that downfall. Let's see what Murtough has delivered come August.
I think the essence of that post is people should whine less.
Who says we're only working on one target? There have been multiple reputable reports linking us with players? De Jong, Antony, Timber, Nunez. Murtough isn't sitting at home scratching his balls, everything has to go through Joel and he's on the other side of the planet sniffing coke off a prostitute probably.
And weve made no progress in any of them. De Jong is the priorirty.
I mean, the club completed multiple deadline day deals only a couple of transfer windows ago.
You don't know that, no one here does. Just because it isn't reported on the fan accounts doesn't mean nothing is happening.
Let’s hope that Arnold and Murtough start to notch up some success. With any luck that will be the key to Joel letting them get on with it without his involvement.
I’m not really too pushed one way or the other but the whole “less than a week into the window” thing is a bit of a red herring. I would hope we were making serious progress on things well before the actual window opened.
I don’t think it was that easy for us. It was unsure whether we could offer Champions League football and who the manager would be this season up until the end of April. Difficult to progress transfer targets during that period I think.
You think that was a structured pursuit? Jesus youre clutching
I answered your question, hardly clutching.
My point is we can't pursuit multiple targets at one time. Cavani was a panic scrap, not someone who was seen as a target, and he was a free transfer. The other two were youth not for the first XI. So yes, clutching.
I was mainly referring to the period between the last game of the season and now, but not sure I agree with the bolded bit. Sure, you might not get a final yes from players, but there's plenty of groundwork that can be laid. And in the period from the end of the season to now, I have to assume we've been active and we'll see the fruits of that shortly. If we've spent that time kicking tyres in the car park of the Nou Camp and chatting to other clubs about taking our players on loan with little or no benefit to us, then I don't see that as a good use of time.
That would be a waste then considering that was literally what he was doing at the club. So he's just milling around the London offices doing nothing until his time runs out? Doubt that. He's likely not majorly involved but it would make sense for him to be assisting Murtough while he's still at the club.
I dislike seeming like defending the club on this but people love ignoring the multiple times the club does stuff and instead only focus on the other times they don't. We're currently working on FDJ and it's been reported we've offered a contract to Eriksen and we were also talking to Nunez.
Doubt it all you want that’s what they’ve said haha.
Yes, talking to Nunez: as in "hello, mate, how are you? Are you enjoying your holiday?" Meanwhile Liverpool got the deal done in almost no time... same old, same old from the club
If he does not get going in the next few weeks, it is a very criticism unfortunately. You just get the feeling we struggle as much as we did before.
So how Real Madrid were able to sign Tchouameni or city were able to sign Haaland or spurs were able to sign perisic or Liverpool were able to sign carvalho or Aston Villa were able to sign multiple players ?
They all had a manager in place coming into the final few months of the season and ownership / a board prepared to back them. In contrast, we had ownership and a board ignore Rangnick and kick his consultancy role into touch.
They were going to sign him regardless of what Ancelotti thought.
