davayy Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Where have all the resident ITKs gone? Surely if we we're done they would confirm as such? Don't see any advantage to not saying we're finished if we truly are.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashnats Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Did we break our record yesterday, signing a potential superstar? only, I'm pretty sure we did. Try googling Boufal and seeing the calibre of club chasing him. Consider that Chelsea came in last week and tried to nab him, but that he chose us. If we had delayed the announcement until 22:59 today, would everyone be excited right now? Personally, I think the top 3 signings we have made, Redmond, Hojberg, Boufal - are absolute high grade quality. Once Long and Austin hit form, we'll be golden. Just be thankful we haven't spent >60m on Bolasie and Sissoko, now that is some crazy **** right there... (If koeman left because we didn't want to spend 30m on sissoko, I think we made a lucky escape) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Surely if someone was still being signed someone somewhere would have got wind of it by now. Who knows? Hojberg basically came out of nowhere and Pied was signed at 11pm on a random weekday when most links implied he'd turned us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Saint Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 I think all optimism died when the club apologists changed scripts from "the window is still open" to "we breed not buy success" "Club apologists" Que? You mean the fans who are willing to give the Club the benefit of the doubt, because of the incredible success we've enjoyed for the last five years? You mean the fans who don't slate the new manager and players after only a few games? You mean the patient optimists, as opposed to the knee-jerk pessimists? Those guys?

ART Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Time to start placing dates on when Boufal will be fit to be picked for the first team. This is not a signing ready to slot right into the team. How long did it take Clasie? I'm going for next February before Boufal is playing regularly for the first team. Have a hunch we'll announce Oxo on a loan at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 I wonder whether people would be feeling more positive if Boufal was fit and raring to go and wasn't going to be absent for the AFCON? Just an observation. Some of the negativity is perhaps due to the fact that many realise it is possible that our exciting record signing may not have too much of an impact on the season we will likely be playing out the next month or longer with a team that doesn't look capable of scoring enough goals.

derry Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Great signing but only difference if it happened todAy souls be relief it happened. Either way I think we needed more and frustrated we haven't done it. It's funny, you're right about sissoko etc, but at the same time we'd be a better team with him in it. Same with a few others who've moved recently. Nice to be well run but it's not like it costs us anything and we want to see the best team possible! Still, I'd be happy if we were spending net 15-20m each summer. I mean that must be feasible for a top half Prem club surely? Spurs in for sissoko now. Poor old everton. Be interesting to see how they do this one. Only worth £16m this morning now they match Everton's £30m while he is on his way to Liverpool with about an hour left. This could fall through out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpin4rizeal Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Think there is a possibility puel views boufal as the answer to our striker problems, didn't he use Ben arfa as one of the two up top in this same formation?

Dr. Kucho Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Was hoping to see another player coming in, however I do think we have a squad that should finish in the top 8-10.
