No suggesting the likes of you are, but as you have not comprehended my post there is no point debating this with you.
i'm not the one going bat shit crazy over who we didn't sign. Cool as a fucking cucumber me. You're the one having a stroke
Well we bidded more than Chelsea and he refused to sign. BRIGHTON ended up extending the deadline again until Chelsea matched our bid. That's what happened, isn't it?
you mean Brighton
Yeah, because we wanted to sign him. It's not super complicated.
Why didn't Caceido happen then? Cos he refused to come.
Did we know he only wanted Chelsea? I personally think we did.
FSG won't spend £111m except for a guaranteed, world class game changer, like Ali or Virgil. Not Caceido who had a year's PL experience.
Imo we bid up Chelsea to put FFP pressure on and make it more likely we'd get Labia but he chose Chelsea too.
What a load of bollocks.
Because they were offering higher salaries and a far longer 8 year contract (and they offered more ... £115m). Simples. Ditto Lavia who's on a 7 year contract. We were never going to match that.
Get your head on straight lad.
How many centre backs do we actually need? We’ve been cursed the last few seasons but it can’t happen forever.
Van Dijk, Konate, Quasi, Gomez and then Endo at a push should see us through the league and European cup. No other side has more than that.

Apparently we desperately need a LB as well, even though we have 3.
I would’ve loved a new one. But that’s one of the many problems for next season.
Like keeping the squad motivated after the quad? That sort of problem?
Exactly
If we were genuinely happy to spend £111m, surely we'd be happy to match the wages? Do you really think he's worth that? Maybe it was Klopp pushing for the deal but its not a typical FSG signing, is it?
Caceido is one example but I think there's a trend of only having one target and that target going elsewhere or not leaving their club.
- Tchouameni (always going to Real)
- Bellingham (always Real)
- Andre (wouldn't leave in Dec but then we don't go for him this summer)
- Zubimendi (Arsenal been after him for years but he wouldn't leave Sociedad)
I'm not totally convinced its an FSG tactic to not spend money but at best it's shortsighted always having one transfer target who is going to be difficult to get in and having no fallback options.
FFS. Use your brain. No of course we wouldn't be happy to match those wages because of, even if we rated him that highly, the knock on effect on our other players and setting that as the new benchmark for a good but not world class player.
So… should we instead go for mediocre players with a lower profile because they’re “easier to sign”?
How much did we spend on Chiesa...?
And where did that money come from..?
Nice if you are FSG or a fan of them 😒
Yeah if your are adverse to spend your money. Sell to buy owners
Konate can't be relied on to stay fit and quansah isn't good enough. Slot doesn't rate gomez obviously so really we have one CB who can be relied on to stay fit and is good enough. That's why we need another CB. We have quantity but not quality in that position.
You can’t win @StevieM - strike them down and they only become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!!!
Before Slot subbed him against Ipswich it seemed like some had decided that Quansah was better than Konaté.
Things change fast...
Whereas you, I suppose, had always known he was English?
Nah. Konate and Quansah are easily good enough. Even Saliba fucked up big time yesterday. All CBs make errors but it's their overall play that defines them.
Reading what you’ve said, we need three not one. But i disagree. Quansah is more than good enough. I do agree with you on Ib but like most of the squad, I want to see if a change in approach keeps him fit.
@Cleric - just want to stick up for you against deluded Top Top Reds. Response to @Frogfish should be simple, we were never in for Bellendingham, mainly because he was always going to Real. But in the summer before we alrealy knew that the trio of Ox, Keita and Milner were going to leave. Thats 3 midfielders we would have to attempt to replace with what we know was a budget of 100M GBP. So again people like @Frogfish and @StevieM believed all the FSG bollocks and feel they have to say that these bids were real from FSG and they meant it. Both these guys have a thing JH's wife Linda and by extension FSG lies.
