Summer window

Christ on a bike this is operation turmoil

 

striker as well as Rusyn is a MUST

 

Hope not but they have started low so maybe it won't take much

 

Honestly wouldn't pay anything for him. He's not what we need right now. Need a proper defensive midfielder. We looked so much better last season when Ekwah replaced him in the team.

 

No point in me naming names as the ones I know will likely cost too much in fees + wages.

The club will be looking for players in the French 2nd Division etc... Like we did when we signed Roberts lol

 

Cos we didn’t value him at €5m m8, which was what we would have had to pay

 

He might not think so but I think he’s a CDM, he was great at interceptions, got stuck in despite his size and could pick a pass over a range of distances.

 

Maybe some of the incoming cash raises his salary.

 

Holy **** Ian Harte works quickly

 

Okay, I’ve now **** the bed

 

I'd imagine he'll take some convincing when they tell him that's where they see him playing then. I thought he was better breaking forward imo.

 

Club have played an absolute blinder by not giving me a physical season card. They know fine well I'll not throw my phone in the wear, but I'd be tempted to with my season card.

This is getting nauseating now.

 

I'm not paying attention to random tweets next 24 hours

 

Speakman has said that the model is to build a team to get promoted (not just be sustainable). He has also said that Stewart will only be sold if a better alternative is signed. I'm hoping the same will apply to Roberts. Its possible they could be both here on Saturday if the new player deals fall through on the Sunderland end.

Now if they both leave and no one comes in, then that would be different...

 

Ian Harte has told Pete o rourke that Clarke “and others” are not happy with the direction of the club

this is to a reputable journalist

it’s genuinely not a stretch now to say that this is a problem. That’s properly embarrassing

 

Exactly what I said about an hour ago has happened. Harte saw the crack and got to work.

 

Okay, I'm going to say it...

Speakman has has absolutely and utterly royally ****ed this.

 

Bloody hell, I've been unable to check in on transfer news today and it seems to have all kicked off.

In isolation (and the correct circumstances), I don't really have a problem with any of the mooted deals.

2 players who will be leaving on a free next summer now that their heads have been turned and a 27 year old who is now 3rd choice right back.

The timing is horrendous though and leaves us with a rush. The club might have had 2 or 3 hypothetical Stewart replacements but they may have moved already.

I'll wait and see what tomorrow brings but it's a little concerning on the face of it.

 

****ing hell, I thought a digital season card was my biggest worry this season

 

Obvious rehash of Hartes previous comments. Not too surprising to see. I’m not too worried about that but also wouldn’t be entirely surprised if it was true.
