Transfer Rumours The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

Nobody said any different but when you have a director put in position who’s above you in the corporate ladder you don’t pander to some knob end who blagged salesman of the month 2 years ago

 

Eulogies and he’s not even gone yet!!

 

Wow, somebody has been sucking lemons all week.

 

Perhaps you can argue the point rather than talk about acidic fruits folders?

Deflection spotted.

 

Simples.

Howe is asked a question by a journalist.

Howe answers question. Nothing contentious. States the obvious.

Too many people examining the fluff in their navels and suddenly becoming a cross between Joe Navarro and Dr Cal Lightman.

 

If it was Steve Bruce you'd be saying it was unprofessional... you know why ?

Because it was.

 

And there he goes again, digging up the dead and buried.

 

Another deflection from you there folders.

 

A deflection to an irrelevancy. Seems fair to me. Any other irrelevancies you want me to deflect?

 

Conclusion?

You don't understand professionalism regarding internal affairs.

 

It’s ****ing baffling to me. We literally employ a team of people to scout players all year long. How do you then arrive at the point of the year where you can buy people, then claim - as Howe has - it’s a “difficult window” (again)? Is part of a scouts remit not to find out about feasibility? Surely anyone and everyone can say “that Michael Olise is a good player” but isn’t it the responsibility of Nickson or Howe Jr to work out very quickly that we have zero chance of signing him because Chelsea will trump out wages and Bayern will trump us regardless?

On the youth side we employed a lot of talent spotters and that seems to be going well, I just cannot fathom what this club is doing when it comes to senior transfers. It’s like we’re analysing every piece of available data and then deciding that, nope, Fabian Schar is the best you can possibly have. Or Almiron is absolutely top of the tree. It’s ****ing mental.

 

I suspect while Howe is busy pretending he doesn't want final say that' he's been saying no to players.

 

And you’re the expert based on years of experience at the ‘coal face’ of football clubs internal affairs.

 

It's a business.

Stop thinking we're still living when you were born in 1894

 

But if it wasn’t contentious why would it upset the owners?

 

It doesn't matter if it or didn't but the fact it could is just another example of why things like that should stay in house.

 

Ah, sorry, based on your years of experience at the ‘coal face’ of big business internal affairs.

 

Deflection everything back at me personally rather than just accepting the facts.

Also you don't know who I am.

 

Just continue inspecting the fluff in your navel.

 

He replied to a question. What has he “played out”? Yes there have been changes. I’m very happy here, if that changed we would have to see but it’s not the case. Despite your insistence otherwise he openly said he doesn’t have the final say on transfers and there is collaboration, or you could say common sense. I just don’t see how any of that is controversial or playing things out in the press. Some people’s hopes for trouble make them see what they want to see rather than actually looking at the evidence eh?
