It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Thought we were mates with Sevilla?

I’ve heard that too. Not very matey though making our interest in the player known. Everyone knows we’re in for a CB but not necessarily Kounde, most thought it was the other Seville CB.

We have gone from KK to Gimenez to Kounde and Dias all within a week ... Which is really strange... And not how we normally operate ... Not least coz they are not players of the same profile

It’s hard to believe this was all a plan....just feels strange as you say. Almost settling like anyone at a certain price is OK.

Just have to trust the process I guess.

Did we honestly expect to get the quality of centre back we needed for less than €50m? Fuck me, sometimes you just have to push the boat out. That's how dippers got Van Dijk, just paid what was needed for the type of player needed.

Dias over Kunde?

WTF WTF WTF is going on WTF is going on?

Used to love singing that at Maine Road!

Takes me back as well, good times.

This transfer window is fucked. It should be closed ASAP for my sanity

The curious case of Bobby Duncan, how old is this lad, now joining his fourth club. Some agent is making a few quid.

That would be strange but we don’t know for sure who we’ve been in for do we? As far as we know, no concrete offer was made for KK, we like Gimenez but haven’t made a bid due to the price. Only firm interest seemed to be for Kounde until now. See no reason we couldn’t have done this much sooner though unless we’ve been waiting for someone else.

That's why i feel this 50m Euros budget for a CB, coz we may be doing a big signing like Messi or AOUAR..... Just doesn't make sense this budget limit for a cb

We are desperate for a CB

At the time I don't remember those good times being good times.

We made an offer for Kounde, they made it public. Don’t blame us for walking away.

Why does it matter if it’s public or not ? If anything it might help bring other options like KK to the table for less. Or if Ottamendi is involved make other clubs bid for him Being in the public domaine does not matter what matters is quality and price
