The blame is 100% at the hands of the 49ers for me, they put an inexperienced team in charge of recruitment. What I don't understand is why. Any business you get the best possible people in for the job, not promote clueless individuals from within, without advertising the position. Stupidity, arrogance and naivety rolled into one.
It is a strange one… I’m not going to be critical of the recruitment guys themselves. They were dealt a bum hand. Did Marathe not forsee kinnear taking his guys with him? Did he not think it was that important? Putting £100m in the hands of rookies and risking many more £100m’s with relegation if they weren’t successful. Baffling.
We were one, possibly two signings away from a good window, yet somehow it now feels a terrible one. It’s all raw at the moment, it’s probably brought the team, Farke and fans closer together. Farke has bought himself time and the forgiveness of fans if we slip up, anger will now be directed at the owners. We need DCL and Okafor to remain fit, hit form and score some goals. All we can do is get behind the team and try and make ER a fortress
The owners have to come out and explain this total **** up. Not leave it to Farke because he has said for weeks he wants a 9 or 10 or both.
These are the remaining outstanding deals on Deadline Day. Deal sheets need to be in for all these to go through. Two extra hours till 9pm to complete if so. Watch @SkySportsNews to find out #SSN #DeadlineDay
Fulham pulled the plug on Wilson deal. Leeds signed it, Wilson signed it, Fulham changed their mind two minutes to the deadline.
YEP reporting Leeds and Wilson signed deal sheet and then Fulham pulled out. Looks like they played us. Tie up a potential relegation rival’s time until it’s too late for replacement… wonder what Wilson thinks of it all.
snap Seems we tried for a loan earlier today, were knocked back, and then went in late with a cash bid.
Reports saying Fulham named their price over the weekend and Leeds matched it. Fulham wanted a replacement in first. They left it late and focused on themselves before delivering a big '**** You' to Leeds. Suppose it will all come out in the wash.
Hakim Ziyech is a right winger or central attacking playmaker. Free agent. 32. Played in Qatar after spending a couple of seasons playing for that ****house Turkish club.
No worries bud… I thought you might think I was excusing them. Think we all feel the same and all a bit frustrated tonight!
Rifat Zhemaletdinov, AM and can play on the wing. Free agent. 28, 6ft 1in. Played for CSKA Moscow last season and Lokomotiv Moscow before that. Russian international so dont know how that affects things. Im struggling after that. Oxlade Chamberlain is the next best.
One more for a bit of fun. Dele Alli was released by Como at the last minute. Perfect fit for us with his injury record.
