Hate to break it to you or anyone else, but it doesn't matter if you accept it or not, its out of your, mine and everyone elses hands, unless hiding amongst us is a multi millionaire with money to burn.
Well we are, you just said as much, the question remains the same, why? Is it because clubs have gone back on what they said two months ago, that player X is no longer available, has the player or his agent turned an offer down, has the player taken the option to wait and see if anyone comes in for him, we don't know.
So if we don't sign a player, you assume any reasoning published, ie Garner chose Forest over us, because he knows their manager, is an excuse, And we should just have got the deal done, by any means because, well anything else is just an excuse? Viera failing a medical, excuse, Diallo choosing Atalanta or Man U demanding a huge loan fee, just more excuses?
I completely agre, but here is just one issue, if the U23s can't replace them, we either buy or loan players that can, what next, loan the U23s out, or loan the former first teamers, we can't sell and replace without a buyer, offloading our deadwood as some people demand means they go to a club that has worse players than ours, that would seem to limit the market, to smaller clubs, smaller clubs that have less money and pay lower wages.
That’s nothing even close to being a fact.
Much like slagging off the current players for not playing as well as 2/3 years ago, or demanding they are sold and replaced.
We'll see.....
And your plan for moving forward?We'll see.....
Completely agree with everything you’ve said which is unfortunate for the club’s position, but handing out lavish long term deals has to be done carefully. No matter how well paid, footballers are, they have access to the same employment rights as any other citizen with the right to work in the UK.
I think the only thing we can do is cut our asking prices to try and get more interest
I don't think its anything new, supporters of every club are always willing to buy/sell certain players, all safe in the knowledge that, they will never be in a position to do so, and won't be judged on results.
The Rodwell situation at Sunderland was a pretty good microcosm of this. The club gave him a bumper deal, which both parties signed up to. When they hit the bricks they tried everything to cut their wage bill but ultimately, he was entitled legally to collect his pay packet and not accept a move, so long as he didn’t do anything that would be construed as a material breach of contract. Whatever you think about the ethics of the situation, he didn’t do anything wrong contractually.
They signed Berge and Brewster, which at the time 99.9% of supporters were not just happy with, but ecstatic.
You would have had us buying all sorts of expensive past it players on big money and had Verrips in net once you sold Rammers for a lot less than we bought him for.
I think it's less to do with the quality of the players, more to do with the fact they can't play the manager wants to and that many have gone stale playing here. With a fresh start, they may well be decent at this level, but some need a fresh start. Fleck and Norwood, for a start. The fact we've not turned over our playing squad means we have too many on expensive long-term contracts and it's impossible to shift them unless you subsidise any move.
Keeping the squad together and minimise sales was also very popular. In fact it was one of the reasons given when Wilder walked because we were going to sell all the players we’d brought in. It’s not happened and now it’s a criticism as that’s what we should have done.
Not the fault of the transfer team, board or anyone else other than the players concerned, the transfer team did the job that was asked of them
I personally think those older players could be part of our plans and look good at this level once confidence returns and they work out their roles in Slavs system. We do need new blood to get us to that place though.
