Summer '24 transfer window

WMS members having a meltdown on twitter

Listened to their Monday pod for a laugh. Within the first 3 mins of the pod

"Hard to find anything to be negative about" [err....why would you be looking for something negative?]
"need 4 players in because we are really light in central midfield"
"Jobe and Rigg can't play all season, they'll be worn our like Dan Neil was"
"need 2 strikers in because Rusyn isn't good enough"
"huge difference between the 1st and 2nd XIs [think you'll find this is the same for every team apart from Man City]
"Mayenda's goal was good, but it was handed to him on a plate"
"Ekwah was average last season because they flogged him to death"

Literally every positive has a negative spin...

This is a waste of 11 million.

lad might turn out to be good but without hindsight he’s 20 year old with a bang average goal record. Ludicrous

A goal contribution every 155 minutes last season isn't bang average.

Beating Bundesliga clubs to sign him is a huge sign that he's pretty good which I agree with, his data is what you want in a forward and his shot placement is good.

This player himself is just an example though, would it not be great to be in the mix for players at that price? Our recruitment team have done a great job with relative peanuts (I seen someone say that the starting 11 on Saturday cost £5m, not sure if that's correct), so think about how good a job they'd do with a big budget.

He played the equivalent of 33 games? Are they stupid?

they are embarrassing, there is a few accounts on twitter with similar views they are like a little clique. Always a negative spin, that @MiserableMackem is one of the worst

There's some accounts that posted constantly about the Preston defeat on Tuesday but have barely mentioned the Sheff Wed game. Strange characters.

Really good player at this level but where does he play for us? He's a right winger who cuts in onto his left, doubt we'd be signing him as a bench option.

In the polish division at one of the stronger sides though

I might be wrong here but if Rigg wanted to leave he could’ve just went to another club for nothing before signing a contract here and they would’ve just had to pay compensation is that correct? Which in reality would be peanuts compared to what he’s worth,

We'd of got a 'decent' amount for him as hes played a good amount of minutes at championship level

However, him signing the contract alone added £10 million to that fee imo. If he plays like he did on Saturday for 75% of his games this season then we will be able to price him at £30 million +

I may be boring now but this is what selling players allows you to do.

All amount how you spend the money i suppose

A lot of it depends on how much money we have to spend in the 1st place - if our budget is £5 million but room for loans n frees then we have a good enough starting 11 that i dont think we need to sell to kick on

Thats why weve gone the youngster route, as in theory they should improve yr on yr and make us naturally better n stronger

However, i also totally get that selling 1 player for big money could bring in 3 or 4 really quality replacements

Recruitment is so tough, and theres not 1 way to do it.

This next 2 weeks is massive for us on the recruitment front as we need that striker n we need a bit more depth to the squad

Hope he goes to Leeds and Clarke signs a 15 year extension here

Never listened to it n never will, just dont get it at all

As for Mayenda's goal being handed to him in a plate i think they need to go back n watch his movement as Rigg passes the ball to Clarke - proper quality CF movement

Every club after him needs a LW rather than a right. I wonder if we see him playing wide left

I'm not bashing the club just want to make that clear. I think I just don't understand the talk of sustainability but then not being sustainable. Recruitment is very tough but gets easier the more money you have, the recruitment team have done a superb job with practically nothing to work with so I guess i'm just excited to see what we could potentially do with a big budget.

They're just following their miserable agenda as always. Don't understand why anyone takes any notice.

As we've found out in our not too distant past....big budgets don't necessarily bring success.
