Transfer Rumours The post 2022 world cup winter window

It's like Gakpo all over again. Get us all excited going into deadline day, let us down with no major signings and the bleat about how difficult the market is.

Only once they've signed will I believe its happening.

 

I remember looking him up before, there where two different heights generally quoted online.


183cm and 178cm

 

Just need some news that Everton/West Ham have matched the bid and are flying out to talk to him aswell to complete the deja vu

 

Same bloke who said our bid had been accepted about an hour ago, so....

 

If Dembele is only £3m and actually interested I hope we’d try and get both (no idea how it would work from a signing on bonus/wage perspective though)

 

Because there's no way it's happening! It's the Sports Republic MO, get nowhere near signing what the club needs, then 2 days before the window closes leak a few names create a social media flurry to make it look like they at least tried. Our passive fan base rolls over, accepts it and on we go.

If it was as simple as hitting the release fee we could have done that at a minute past 12 1st Jan and maybe won games against forest and villa.

 

How many strikers have we approached/ made offers on so far? Must be in double figures now

 

And then it'll be mentioned on here forever as a defence for not signing a striker that we've known we've needed for a year.

 

I don't use Twitter and have no understanding of it. Is that account someone who just trawls the internet looking for rumours to recycle?

If so what a tragic existence.

 

- Maybe he/his representative wanted to wait to see offers.
- Maybe we had others higher on the list
-Maybe we don't think he's worth the money but are now having to do something.

I don't disagree with you that I expected and wanted something done sooner (summer preferably) but we can't keep criticising the club for everything. Hopefully we end up with the right signing (and if we don't the club will doubtless get the blame for paying so much for him)

 

Aaaaaaaand this is who we’ll end up with, most likely

 

"Andre was a top target throughout the window, a player we've tracked for many years and we're delighted to have secured such a top talent. "

 

Analytics hat on, Vitinha is who I thought we would go for (easy to say after the event), but ticks all the boxes for a SR player if a bit expensive. Height is the only drawback really. He's quality.

 

Hmmm, we've got reported bids now on DM, winger and 2 strikers. I'd take either of those 2 up front in a heartbeat.

 

My Portuguese relatives really rate him, said he’s better than Gonçalo Ramos.

Get the ****ing private jet out Rasmus.

 

We have informed Braga will pay the release clause and offer Vitinha a 4.5 year contract.

 

I can predict…. If we don’t sign him the club the will be criticised.

The same people will be negative even if we do sign them
