Bottom line is the Club have or will have sold players worth £ 70-80 million in the last 12 months Weve spent to date , what , 18-20 ? over the same period .....to date Lets see where we go from here .......... I have had 2 talented colleagues leave for better jobs recently and they were both as dedicated as ever up to the last minute. Neither would have dreamed of letting their colleagues or clients down.

Don't have Sky or BT and very rarely watch match of the day ( sometimes watch if weve had a great result) The gaps between the top six and the rest, the ever increasing gap between the divisions is shite. I hate the more and more lack of Saturday games at 3oclock . Not really looking forward to the Leeds game as am up at 4 on the Monday, so even a win ***** up a good night!!! If we ever go up it's the doing it that appeals to me not so much joining the Circus. The joke is All but 7 or 8 Premier Clubs Their fans will be stressing the whole season , that they might fall out the Circus , and knocking one out when they scramble a few points No hope of being truly competitive let alone ever winning anything , desperate just to stay part of the Corcus The game has become about 6 or so Clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is as a footballer you are one tackle away from a serious injury. Janneh gave it everything at FGR and is now out for 4 months and had missed his chance of a first season of league football. At the back of Webster’s mind is that the next few days will possibly set him up for life and give him the chance to play in the Premier League. An injury in a friendly and the chance may be gone for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely because footballers have a shorter career, and the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and increase your wages 6 fold overnight are few. If teams have been enquiring all summer and you're Agent is in your ear, your mind will constantly be wondering...only natural. I've worked with people who have been head hunted and better offers given...they soon start wondering.

formerly known as ivan Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 A player who has never played in the premier league, a player with a suspect injury record, is now worth up to £25m!!! Im angry even if it is us benefiting from this madness. The world of football gets more and more out of touch with reality each passing day.

It's been a piss poor transfer window. Again..... Totally disagree. Kalas and Dasilva now our players. That’s fantastic business szmodics looks a great buy. And there’s still up to 4 players to come in. We’re a quality goalscorer away from having a terrific window in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 And for all those whooping with joy at the money Even if we make signings in the next 10 days LJ has the task of drilling them , and moulding them into a side in the same period @marmite made a comment earlier about pre-season and was shouted down , but he has a point We have a coach who is quite complicated in his set ups and particular way of playing So to get a side gelled with a view to hit the top six this season is some ask.......

Bristol Rob Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 56 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: Thing is if Palmer joins don't we then have him, Brownhill, Szmodics, Paterson, even add Weimann and Eliasson all competing for those attacking midfield spots behind Fammy? I appreciate they don't naturally play in exactly the same way but it seems like a lot of players to have up there, all at similar stages of their career (bar Weimann). Can't see us getting another RB in as I think we're settled on Hunt being covered by Wright and Vyner - probably not perfect but "it'll do". If (when) Webster goes then that money surely has to be pegged for a striker and a replacement CB. Simple. 3 at the back, 7 across the middle, play without a striker. We'll win or lose every game 11-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly a bit of a worry Bob but the market has been so slow this year I think we have to give the club the benefit of the doubt on this one. Can’t turn the money down for Webster imho.

RedM Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 4 hours ago, CliftonCliff said: Same thought crossed my mind re Kallas. They worked fantastically well together last season and were probably looking forward themselves to building on that. It's football, and you just have to take it on the chin, but it's so, so disappointing. That pairing was one of the things I was most looking forward to watching this season. Exactly. Apologies if I was a bit blunt in my posts but I feel so frustrated having got the perfect pairing that suits us I really thought we could make strides this year especially with the additional signings of Dasilva and Bentley. Yes we still might do something but it feels the rug once again has been pulled from under our feet. Yes we could be looking at a pile of money but I just wanted to enjoy what we had until Jan at least if not longer. This feels so much worse than last year when we lost Flinty, infact it feels like losing Reid all over again such as one player can make a difference to a team.

And Its Smith Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 20 minutes ago, billywedlock said: You still don't believe Webster wants to move to the Prem ? Just to help you with your troubled understanding of current day football I will leave LJ to explain it to you again. "The burning dilemma I have is how can you stop somebody from moving for six times their wages, with a promotion in rank. You're going to have to think about it, if you're a mechanic, a dentist or for anyone," Johnson added. "The problem for football is the sheer difference between Championship and Premier League, or League One and Championship appears life-changing. And it is really. It's very difficult to stop somebody. And I'm not saying you can't and I'm not saying you can't maximise the market but at the same time naturally if a Premier League club comes in for somebody then they'll want to go." For your additional assistance, you never ever post on an open forum anything that will compromise any personal friendships or indeed anything that would compromise the club, player, or the game . You have no need to know Webster, you can work it out quite easily , as indeed you should have been able to do, if you understand the basic motivation of a player and the economics involved. It is the same for every player. I said I didn’t believe you knew Webster. Obviously every player wants to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
