Why should he? He’s posting things in good faith, like Tolmie does, and it keeps us up to date and entertained.

What’s the point in saying anything? How do you class someone saying “we are active”, when the chances are he’s feeding you shit entertaining?

What is he keeping you up to date on? They’re just vague sentences.

Kaka incoming.

He was good the only issue today is I feel he’s very hesitant on the ball he always holds on to it longer than he should.

The straight ball onto Rodri in midfield was an option to him today though - I think that develops over time into an option that helps us beat the press

 

[chesterbells]

Kaka incoming.

Old news that mate.
Keep your eye out for De Rossi at Ringway tomorrow.

Why have a transfer forum then? He could be talking bollocks or he could be talking stuff he’s been told in faith. Who cares?

The transfer forum is nuts, fun and entertaining. If it isn’t for you, stay away? Or are you expecting Viana to pop up and tell you definitively and 100% what’s going on?

Because when you are looking at spending £100m on a player, there is more to it than is he better than Harry Ditchfield

Totally agree but I trust the club to do due diligence on a player.
I remember the scout, who identified Hazard, saying how he got to know the whole family, mum, dad, brother etc...

He said he knew what he ate and when he ate.
Basically everything.

Then Chelsea offered him wages that we weren't prepared to start him on and he went there!!!!!!

So, no, not everyone will work but you need quality and we have been shopping for the next big thing, not the ready made player. And now we are seeing the drop off.

It’s not going to happen now, but not signing a right-back in this window is a massive dereliction of duty from those in charge.

Oh ye of little faith…

It’s completely unserious from the club. We have failed to react to Arsenal and Liverpools business on the back of poor 2023 and 2024 summer windows.

that would be the definiton of a panic buy.

Literally and figuratively.

So a transfer forum is created for someone to just feed horseshit and pretend he’s some ITK. Transfer forums are surely for discussions on who people would like or who improves the team. Not to play on the current desperation of the club to sign players and gain some traction off the hope of members.

By your reasoning we should all just sit here, pretend we’re ITK otherwise the transfer forum has no use.

Why, does he know the name of a good right back that’s available?

 

[manimanc]

Tomorrow is the potential day for my hanging via bluemoon.

Or for me to call out the haters.

We are active!

Goodnight, I will be here tomorrow.

You always post in good faith mate and sometimes transfers can get right to the end then collapse, it happens.

Thanks for your snippets, much appreciated.

I suggest you just put him on ignore if you don’t like what he posts.

 

[manimanc]

Why do you think that mate?

I've just seen it in my tea leaves.

 

[BluestBlue]

If he comes in he is going to be number one.

I just think this is a signing we dont need to make - there are far more concerning areas of the team.
We havent previously spunked millions for shits and giggles BUT we have wasted money previously on poor signing. Phillips, Nunes....Doku aint looking great, Sav aint looking great, Grealish a huge waste of money ( i remember the conversations on here along those exact lines you have just used above about being sure the club knows what its doing etc....Grealish was a HUGE mistake and waste of money)



It has to be acknowledged that even the best make mistakes...I believe that while Donarumma is a very good player he is also not what we should have been priortising all summer and certainly not the last 4 weeks of the transfer window.

I really wish people would just watch the guy outside UCL games.

As things stand Trafford hasn’t made a single ball stopping error. In fact he even saved us today. He had made ball playing errors.

Donnarumma isn’t changing anything that happened today imo.

Rn, we literally cannot play out from the back comfortably. Something we used to do so easily as if it was breathing we literally hoof it upfield and it comes straight back to us cuz Haaland isn’t good at hold up play or the pass is never accurate.

We don’t have Ederson shot prevention anymore.


I am saying it now, we can actually get WORSE, and the new signing cannot be blamed. Only the people who endorsed it. Just like how you can’t blame Nunes for being the reason we give away a goal because he’s not a RB. You blame the person who bought and plays him there.

Not at all, amongst us mortals who post, there will no doubt be some who have their ear to the ground more than most. Maybe Damian10 is one? Maybe not. Who cares?

You have some who post a Twitter post that has a siren in it. It’s just fun.

 

[manimanc]

Kaka incoming.

Nah he's a bottle merchant.
He nearly couldn't open the balls at the champions league draw the other day, he nearly tapped out.

 

[argyle]

liveramento would be ideal I can’t believe we couldn’t have got him if we were willing to pay.

Should have gone big for him and Baleba.

City hierarchy have been found wanting and caught with their pants down by liverpool going big this summer.

The City top brass this summer needed to stop being so afraid of criticism of our spending and blow everyone out of the water.

As it is they went too cute and clever on players no other top team wanted and now we're stuck with mediocrity and possibly another rebuild needed in 3 years to get rid of them.
