    Whoever is speaking to these players clearly isn't selling the club. Or we are just going after the wrong players.

    If this keeps up we'll have more rejections than first team players.

    I think that is where we really do miss Mandy - selling the dream. That visible enthusiasm and ambition that makes people truly believe in the project and want to be part of it.

    I expect now it's all more focused on formal, official talk and procedures / paperwork. No inspiration.

    Yup. Staveley leaving [understand the reasons why] was the worst thing that could have happened. She'd be giving interviews/ releasing statements telling people what was going on.

    Eales - Utterly useless. He's the CEO and nothing, unless it's trying the Mike Ashley trick of drinking with fans in the Stack for PR purposes.

    When your CEO is dying of blood cancer and you don't even hire a temp to help out, you're in ****ing trouble.

    So this is entirely on PIF

    He should have been replaced a LONG time ago.

    It's annoying as hell that we agreed a deal with Burnley for Trafford and agreed personal terms then Man City come in and hijack the deal due to the buy back clause.

    A professional club with aspirations to be the best would not lose out like that.

    I get the impression that Eales is absent due to his illness and as we have no sporting director to oversee transfers, then negotiations/ discussions are being carried out by minions.

    But Isak will be sold. We can’t keep an unhappy player.

    Well, no, we’re only interested if Isak leaves.

    Feels like the club are going to royally **** this window right up.

    We don't know that, i can see a situation where they are both at the club, maybe only for a few days though, then we get Wissa/Openda.

    We've probably submitted a £20 million bid for Sesko

    That would really brass off the Victims. Would love it to happen but sadly not expecting it as don’t think our finances are there yet.

    Not really watched much of Sesko before but following my Youtube scouting he does look a very good player and one that can improve. Time will tell as to if he comes or not even if Isaac goes.

    Sesko is one of the biggest prospects in Europe, a bit like Isak when we signed him.

    Scalvini is similar as a CB.

    All like 22 years old.
