‘Winger’ singularly…? Hope not.

I don’t think we should be complaining about that to be fair.

Still think Archer is our best striker. Just got to find a way to play to his strengths (and he needs to show some interest more regularly too).

Scenario 3. But would leave us short in CM.

I had high hopes for him this season after his loan, but so far he’s looked pretty crap.

I agree, but he wants to leave.

How shifting only £50m of players means they’re good with PSR is anyone’s guess. Laughable how they still haven’t been given a deduction yet.

Crikey, you must have been really disappointed last year then.

Utter drivel.

Would suggest it’s the other way around - can’t bring in new players because we can’t shift the old ones.

Are you on the recruitment team?!

Hopefully he can analyse them quicker then he can make decisions on the football pitch.

It won’t happen because he wants a move to a premier league club and an extortionate signing on fee.

No chance he’s coming back, regardless if we go up.

Do you genuinely think Ramsdale is ever going to play for us again?

I didn’t think we would, but it’s still deflating when it pans into reality. I think it’s made worse by the “here’s what you could have won” we got to witness on Saturday

I would suggest it’s more the confirmation that they aren’t interested in bringing in any actual competition for Baz.

Saw 60+ new posts and thought “here we go, must be some news” Fck me sideways.

If the shot he faced was straight in front of the posts, you’d have a point.

Where has this £2m come from? Why would Stoke have signed him for c. £1m then put a release clause in his contract for £2m.

Spot on.

It was literally £36m plus £6m two days ago. Their side will be making out it’s lower, our side will be saying it’s higher. No one will know the true fee. Time will tell if it’s a good fee or not. I hope he does well, but could easily go the other way for him.

Seems we’re not the only ones struggling to get stuff done. Seen quite a few premier league managers bemoaning the lack of transfer activity so far. Emery, Nuno, Marco Silva, Moyes, Potter, Perreira and Glasner I’ve seen having a whinge. Going to be an interesting week.

So what? Edozie wants to leave, hence why he’s not playing. Fernandes played yday and was generally shite.

You listed 5 players, two of which aren’t likely to be here next week and one who is 18 years old playing his first full season in men’s football (and seems to like falling over all the time). Fernandes was crap yesterday and it wasn’t happening for Robinson - what options did we have on the bench to change the game? 2 beanpole strikers who are utterly gash at the moment. Not one option on the bench who could come on and unlock a defence. (Smallbone is injured). I’m not saying it’s brilliant right now, I agree the defence has been crap in the main. Though I guess not a huge surprise given it’s mainly the same personnel that have shown they cannot defend for the last two seasons (and beyond for one of them). Could he have played a 4 atb instead of 5, I would say so and that’s something I’d like to see. But that being said, if Downes doesn’t think he’s Xavi and if he and Ross Stewart remembered how to head a football we’d have won. He needs time, he’s only had three league games and the windows not even closed yet. If it’s still like this in October then probably time to panic.
