If we lose to Villa tonight this will need editing to show some brain splatter.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

I'm now looking forward to our lads banging a couple in tonight and then I can start a new thread on how we don't need to sign anyone

And that is exactly how fickle some our fans base is.

 

[SUFC Guy]

We can only now hope and pray that both London and Brum are locked down tomorrow so we are then his only option

 

[Torrix1889]

Wilders number 1 target was to strengthen in the final third, he said we definitely needed more up top, we have failed to do that, (apart from a low cost gamble in Burke).

Coupled with no more creativity added in a flat midfield it is difficult to see where the goals are going to come from.

Hoof and hope it is then.....

 

[brownblade]

For all we know, we could’ve bid too, but Sky’s “sources” may not have heard about it yet. Or am I just optimistic?

You're making intelligent use of critical thinking.

YOU'RE A WITCH

We haven't failed just because there's a new story in the media! Three weeks before window closes!

 

[ormester]

This club seriously is lacking ambition another maupay I'm afraid

 

[Harrisblade]

But if they don't see him being able to step up into their squad to score goals against the same opposition that we'll be facing, is it not a bit of a risk that he wouldn't be able to do that for us, with a reduced number of chances (given our relative chance creation compared to Liverpool's)?

Very true, except for the Liverpool players already ahead of him in the hierarchy.

Failed? Did the window shut this morning?

You are 100% correct in that wilders primary objective is not even close to being resolved but There’s plenty of time left yet - however it does increase our pressure to find some attacking options.

We have no midfield creativity and the forward line as it stands just is not going to score enough.

imo we should see if we can get Balogun in and use the loan on a creative attacker who’s not in favour atm. Like an iwobi or similar. That increases our options in attacking sense more than just Brewster imo.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

We have stop glossing over

You were presented with facts, what facts do you have to show we are lacking ambition?

 

[Luke1993]

If we're only after a loan then so be it, but if we have money but we can't stretch to the £25m, like others have said, get grant from Huddersfield for £10m less.

 

[Jon P]

Glad that's over

 

[NuddysGloves]

I think we need to step back and be a bit more positive about things.

Yes Palace have made an offer, but that offer hasn't been accepted yet, which means that we still have time to reach 200 pages! Which is of course the most important thing here.

 

[Enigmatic]

Jesus Christ. I think half of you must share a fucking brain cell.

We don’t lack ambition, we lack funds.

That doesn’t mean we’re skint, it just means we have to be careful.

We have backup options. We move on.

 

[BadgersBigToe]

T'owd Jaunpi, could he do a job?

Even he’s toopi now adays

 

[JackSUFC]

Everyone knows how desperate we are for a forward. That drives the price up a couple of million. No way would we get Grant for £10m or less. Either we pay the going rate or hope for the best with what we’ve got.

[Sheffsteel]

In all honesty, a buy back of 37 million when there's that much initial outlay is dogshit anyway.

Agree...doubt those figures are right.
Liverpool can’t lose...for Palace it’s a high risk...low profit investment deal...doesn't make sense.
If our club matches that it would be a sign of total desperation and irresponsibility.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Its only an opportunity missed if we could have afforded the deal and it fit into our model. Which it clearly didn't.

Agreed - I think we were hoping to persuade them to loan him out.

It’s not my money (the prince can do as he sees fit) and I’m glad we aren’t going to be put in a position of risk if we go down or similar. It’s just we have been flexible when we have sensed an opportunity previously - see bringing berge in on the Jan window.

For me though, for £19m - the chance to bring in a highly rated talent who’s shown what he can do in the league below, in a position of need (especially as we still have whatever we bid for swift left over) seemed like a risk worth taking.

he might flop at palace but the chance to bring someone like that in doesn’t come along often. We may live to regret not getting him in whilst the chance was there. It’s not like they were asking a club record fee

 

[BadgersBigToe]

The deal is dead, we have dragged our heals, I'm sure cw has other irons in the fore, and whose to say they won't turn out better than Brewster.

Spoke to someone slightly ITK last night and he said Wilder had put 11 of his dozen eggs in the Brewster basket

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Reguilon has just joined Spurs for a reported £12m with a £25m buy back so it's not that much different.

On those figures Reguilon's buy back would be 108% of the initial fee.
£37m buyback on an initial £25m would be a 48% increase.
108% is a lot different to 48%.

 

[Houso]

Agree...doubt those figures are right.
Liverpool can’t lose...for Palace it’s a high risk...low profit investment deal...doesn't make sense.

Particularly when they always seem so keen to hang on to their star players (see their inflated figure for Zaha every season).

You see what happened to Solanke and Ibe, and surely it makes clubs think twice about this kind of deal.

I do think people often forget that we were told that Berge was to be a summer transfer target and that budget was used in January (aided by the fact that we were looking assured to stay up as well).

If we haven't got the money then we cant take the risk.

 

[Wesolddeano]

They have made a bit, has it been accepted?

Brewster best sign for his own safety! Being a Yorkshire lad I am pretty sure wasting 11 eggs will not sit right with him
