The names linked are causing unrest simply because it looks like they’re prioritising the young loan before they get their experienced permanent it’s clear they want both, which is fine. But the fact we’re not even linked to a senior striker but all our links are the interest in the young loan market is a joke. Club needs to get its priorities right
im not happy but devils advocate here, its not up to the club who we get “linked” to. Its hardly a joke.
It’s not up to the club who we get linked to? the links aren’t made up it’s because the club are interested in signing them. They’re focussing on the wrong signing
How the **** do you know we’re only focusing on the loan signing like?!? 5 hours ago nobody knew about Scarlett. We’d been linked with Mendy all summer. It’s absolute nonsense to surmise this as “proof” we are only after the loan signing at the moment.
If this is the 2nd striker but they are made available first is it in the clubs control? They may well be making errors but the order doesn’t matter in a way, other than some fans pissing the bed without knowing the full picture.
I love the idea that the club can only focus on one signing at a time I guarantee Speakman and Harvey have spoken about at least 10 players today.
You don't know that though. We keep things under wraps very well..look at Poveda wasn't even linked until 24hrs before signing
It’s only came out because it’s leaked from spurs side. Then followed up on by fishpaste. We could have some people lined up that isn’t getting out till very close before like Browne I heard about Browne coming up a week or two before hand and then bronzebummer heard the day or two before that he had signed and teased it. hopefully we see more links this week
People knew he was being looked at, as the next free agent signing a good few weeks before btw but no one was posting it
I’ve had 3/4 names in the last week. None are an experienced striker I completely understand that it may be quiet etc. but it doesn’t sound positive.
Exactly, it wasnt leaked and there was virtually nothing outed on social media or even by a journalist..
Panic stations because of another rumour!! Hate when it gets like this, dont mind debates about whether a linked target would be good or not for us but dont get the panic over it We have been linked with so many players that never come n some that we were never after If scarlett does come he will get my full support, whether i agree or not with the signing. The 2 things hes got going for him is hes a good finisher (i know some will point to his loan record but he is a clean striker of the ball when shooting) and hes good at pressing Anyway lets see how it pans out
Let’s be realistic here rather than sarcastic comments over somebodies opinion. We needed/need other positions (poveda is absolutely not going to be 3rd choice) The club think they need two strikers. One young loan and one experienced permanent. They know, we know, everyone knows the experienced permanent is the most important signing the football club will need this summer. In fact striker is the only position we are absolutely desperate for. So the fact the majority of the striker links are youth players show to me that it’s worrying and we may not be in for an experienced one at the moment From what I’ve heard aswell, all eggs were in the Mendy basket for that
