Lets pray Mendes saves our transfer window yet again, hopefully with a deal involving someone else than a 36 year old over the hill Ronaldo.
Because one thing is for certain, with the exception that they brought Guardiola in, the only thing our own guys (clowns may be a better word) in charge of transfers are capable of doing is activating release clauses and selling our unwanted players for peanuts.

Stinks of the 2019 summer. Just won the league and needed to strengthen in a key position. All the eggs in one basket, didn’t land the target and it fucked us all season. The same will happen this season. The fact Liam Delap is the only out an out striker at our club is an absolute fucking disgrace from everyone involved. Someone should have been strong enough to tell Pep that he can’t just say he ONLY wants Kane. We needed a backup option. Even if it was someone like Ings etc. Just piss poor.

So what? we sign Ings when?? Weeks before we realised we couldn't get Kane?
or should we have just targeted Ings from day 1?

Who knows maybe we do have an alternative. The window isn't over you know.

Dias came out of nowhere. Vlahović has been mentioned. Lautaro Martínez is apparently available.

Its almost as if we haven't just signed one of the best game changing attacking midfielders in the league,and maybe Europe.

Struggling to see the correlation between what I wrote and your answer?
We literally don’t have a striker in the squad..

i think its a big disapointment not getting kane . point remains we have 5 days to find somebody who is going to get us 25 goals a season. dont be fooled into thinking we didnt need one last year. torres certainly isnt the answer at the moment. would love lewendoski but not going to happen .not sure about tranny.

Who else would you suggest from the Mendes camp other than Ronaldo out of interest?

A waste of a Pep season. I just watched him speak live at an event here in Brazil. He literally said seven years is a lot, he’s thinking of a break at the end of his time left and then move on to a national team. There’s no other way of spinning it: if at the end of the window, we haven’t signed a forward, we have failed.

Good spin, maybe you are a journalist.

Bullshit. I wanted to sign Grealish, but that was with what seemed like an obvious addition of a center forward, a DM and possibly a LB. Only Grealish though? What have they been smoking? The squad planning is irresponsible. “Pep will take care of it, don’t worry”.
