One injury to any 1st team player and we're fecked, that's how thin our squad is. ETH is a miracle worker if he finishes higher than 5th with our current squad IMO. Two more signings before the window shuts and the picture changes.

I agree with you.
I know it's a forum and you are both allowed and meant to express your opinion, but damn it gets boring fast to read the same doom saying posts about how bad we apparently are in aaaaall areas.
I wish we had recruited conte as manager back in October, we wouldn't be in such a mess with our transfer business.
we left it way too late in deciding on ten hag and he himself has been a little naive within the transfer window and was probably helped a great a deal at ajax because of how well they are run behind the scenes with a solid football philosophy in place.
If we don't drastically strengthen our first team in the remaining month of the transfer window, I really hope ten hag gets off to a flyer because if we have less than desired results in our first 6 or matches coupled with our current underwhelming transfer business then the bad atmosphere around the club will creep right back in, give players an excuse to not be at their best and quite easily derail into another moyes like season.

I think anyone expecting quick results is either a kid or has had their mind tainted by fickle online sentiment. Erik literally has a free pass this season but he is also probably the first real manager the club have had since Jose. If we sign 4 players this summer and 4 players next summer I would be quite content, better to have a small squad and build that in the managers image first.
Outgoings are also really important and I look forward to seeing who we can get off the books. This is a long term project.
Timber is hardly world class hes not worth waiting for when a deal could be made for Martinez. FDJ is a completely different story its understandable that if they had any indication at all that he could join is going to make the powers that be want to wait and see.
If they are still waiting at this point though then yeah they are muppets. Romano already reported his agent told both United and Barca two weeks ago he didn't want to leave i mean what more do you want.
Come on now, the whole free pass just ain't realistic, let's not act like if we have a season anything like last season or the moyes season that the overall majority of fans will naturally get very restless like any fan base that think their club is under performing
No manager at a big club gets a free pass. The idea that we can write the season off to bed in a new style of football ignores the impact not qualifying for the cl would have on next seasons budget and ability to attract players. It would cement our status in the arsenal zone of perennial top 4 contender
You're very welcome you your opinion. I find that maybe you base it on media speculation, as you've no idea what discussion have gone on between the player and his agent and United nor Barca. Time will tell, but I'm pretty sure we'd have moved on if it was very unlikely to materialise into anything.
Find that hard to believe. Only a handful of clubs are rich enough to spend that much on one player and I can't think of any that are in desperate need for a RW
Chelsea were linked to several in Raphinha, Gnabry and Dembele
Chelsea wanted Raphinha. Only other club it can be in my opinion. Unless Madrid like him…Schrager being his usual incredibly vague self though.
Oh right he'll probably end up at Barcelona then
Ajax worried that we’ve cooled interest so they throw that out there to get us to bid. They would sell him in a hot minute for 60-70 if we offered it.
None of it
No. I answered the question that was asked
mes que un lever
No one rational is meeting the valuation. If Chelsea or whoever want to pay 100m, have at it.
The fans will 100% back Erik for the medium term regardless of results. I've seen the majority back someone like Ole so I have no doubt they'll back someone who can coach beautiful football. We will give and receive a few hammerings of that I have no doubt, but finally there'll be moments where we play like a team.
Ajax will sell to another club for less. United tax and all that.
Getting a little tired of this Conte love in. We’d have Perisic & Bissouma, whoopty fecking doo! EtH hasn’t played a single league game & is quite clearly trying to change the way we play from the ground up, give him time.
We’re over a month away from the window closing, by all means berate EtH & the club when it’s closed but it’s clear we’re still working on deals. I used to think I was negative but some of you lot take the piss. Conte will be gone from Spurs in 2 years, if EtH falls flat we can have him then.
Have there not been reports that we've alternatives lined up if FDJ doesn't come?
No need to wet your knickers just yet.
Please show me anything that shows FDJ himself saying that, not just some Barca influenced media.
Toxic positivity, what a bunch of twats we are
Ben Jacobs was the interviewer. You can find the rest of the interview here:
Toxic positivity, what a bunch of twats we are
Yeah it sounds ridiculous but its also not incorrect, its all about moderation and being rational.
If theres reasons you can look at to be positive (ie ETH) then crack on, if theres reason to be negative but the outlook is blind positivity then how is that not toxic especially in a community setting like this. Hell this fanbase has had a lot of experience of this already can easily point to United under Ole.
Had no idea it's an actual thing
98% of their posts are just attacking other posters who are being negative on a slightest bit. Barely contribute anything to the discussion by themselves. Pretty sure their only objective is gatekeeping what other people are posting on here.
The classic "Why so much negativity after just 7 games" thread last year should tell you everything you need to know.
It has come to a point where a couple of good preseason games and people are happy with McFred.
They would have sold Martinez to Arsenal then?
Those players may well need it if they can't get registered......
City have signed probably the best young striker in world football and replaced fernandinho with one of the best defensive midfielders in the league. This into an already dominant squad. That's a pretty perfect window.
When your the best you don't need 5 or 6 signings each year, just one or two strategic tweaks to your squad.
We on the other hand with a week before the season starts have a gapping hole in our midfield, a 37 year old striker who wants out and a striker who was a hot prospect 7 years ago as our attacking options
They didn't sign one of the best defensive midfielder in the league. Far from it.
They don't need to as they have very good squad already, so they are not desperate.
Really? Who's said that?
Just had a heart attack reading this. I thought they had signed sesko. Please be a bit more specific next time.
You can’t possibly think he meant Sesko!? Haaland is a young striker and if I’m not mistaken he was speaking in a confirmative tone and city have signed Haaland and obviously not Sesko? I mean there haven’t even been any rumours about city and Sesko
