Source for the Azaz bit ? Not sure Im sticking my eggs in the SFC Sam basket

Yeah I think loans are definitely a good supplementary option I just don’t think there’s a ton of good available prem loans, at the moment, maybe we’ll see more this week Our issue last year was we wed ourselves too them, THBs price was outrageous, Downes we got held over a barrell and Fraser… well.. last year it was an awful signing (probably been pur best player so far) Lets see what this week brings us

Was one of Russel’s must haves

Azaz is a great signing, really chuffed with that one Ill keep my powder dry around Guilavogui, has some decent attributes, could turn out to be a gem

Said for a while, stop fucking around and play him as a No.9 Best poacher we have

Ive not written off the window yet but Id be annoyed if its like that again We have probably the best squad in the division assessed on depth, we just needed to buy 2-3 players of top quality Spertsyan definitely made me believe that… hopefully we’re using that surplus elsewhere

If we got close to 20m I can’t see them turning that down Would tick a very many boxes and probably be able to step up

Would you rather they sold cheap and bought big then ? Bit of an odd hill to die on

You can’t say they’ve not spent, they’ve not spent well but have spent

Last years transfer dealings were probably an all timer as far as how not to do it Fernandes the only decent one

I dunno… Im not sure we should be repeating past mistakes tbh I certainly wouldn’t be signing him after spunking 9m on Downs It puts us in the same predicament that if we spend 25m on Sargeant who likely won’t cut it in the prem we then have to shift and find that money again, which weakens our PSR position PSR is such a shit system it just absolutely weakens everyone’s position not in the top 6 of the PL

Id take Fellows all day, and yeah, of all the Champ talent Id say he could step up I think there’s a good player in Downs tbf, needs more game time

You said - Azaz is indeed what I would call a good signing but he's about what I'd expect us to sign so nothing extraordinarily impressive about it. So yes.. I was right

I don’t think Quarshie was a first team signing for a start Downs was, and I think so far he looks dissapointing but its very early days, maybe we could of pushed for Ivanovic, not sure what Millwall would want.. Sargeant ? Norwich want 25m apparently which is frankly mental My point is, we’re in the Champ, we aren’t really signing better than Azaz or Rudoni, Id even take Brooks on loan if he becomes available Anyone expecting more than that is delusional

Missed the points entirely I see We can all name names, but the reality is very different I can give you Van Ejwick, Hamer, Sargeant… thats easy… none of them likely to move without outrageous fee’s or late next week if the prem moves don’t materialise

You literally called Azaz uninspiring or something of the sort, cba to go back to it Rudoni … tried, wants prem Fellows … linked Furehashi … maybe, not overly hyped by him tbh, Celtic fans were saying he was poor last couple of seasons and was gash at Stade Rennais Hamer …. See previous post Brownhill … Wants prem and an outrageous signing on fee apparently So no… short of chucking names out there its not all that easy

Could we fuck 😂 There’s no way in hell he’s not waiting for a Prem opportunity You named two names, ones not that great and the other every club in the division would want, currently linked to Leeds, Everton and PSV for 18mish… its not happening

They want 25m for him, which is mental for a Championship striker

You think we’d of realistically signed the Champ POTS from a promotion rival that has had Prem interest before the last week of the window ? Sorba Thomas ? Yeah not for me, you’ve picked him off the back of one game, he’s quick, but was average at Nantesannd average for Huddersfield previously

Again… so you’re slamming the recruitment team for going for players without actually pointing at any viabe alternatives ”we can do better than him” ”ok name him then” ”Well I can’t, but it not up to me” Just lazy bollocks really, SR have been awful, and I slammed them last year, Fraser, Lallana, BBD, Archer… I literally said we’re building for the championship not prem. But now ? I can’t for the life of me see how looking at Azaz is ‘boring’ or run of the mill Its just moaning for moaning sake

Gus Hamer I’d take, but I imagine he’s in the Rudoni camp, waiting for a prem call Id actually take a punt on him, but ironically not a player Id see moving to another Champ side until the end of the window if at all

But this is just a lazy resposte… you can’t slam names like Azaz or the St Pauli guy, or even Downs without actually offering alternative targets

Maybe you’re right regarding Alcaraz but he just wasn’t good enough here, at the time and we brought in Fernandes as his replacement, and before anyone pipes up, he was a replacement we wouldn’t of had both The Armenian thing, I agree, after a week of the back and forth it seemed dead, but its evidence we are trying for targets, unfortunately we’re a Champ team and turning into a yo yo one at that.. maybe if SR hadn’t royally fucked two Prem campaigns we could be choosers not beggars

Who would you suggest we buy better than Azaz for example ? Which striker is available ? What wingers would you buy ? No… thats not my job bullshit, im genuinely curious

Azaz and a decent winger or two and Id be happy tbh, not really sure what anyone was expecting Spertsyan seemed a bit above us, we pushed but it never really happened, not sure who exactly people are expecting a Championship club to sign who would be better than Rudoni or Azaz ? Edit - Obviously Id like us to sign a decent striker, Downs doesn’t fill me with confidence but Ill give him the benefit of the doubt.. there’s just no real options… 25m for Josh Sargeant ? No fucking thanks
