So, what's the reason for all the quietness?

[UddersBlade]

Its all quiet because our new owners have effectively blocked all 'Social Media' - it is almost back to what is was like in the 90's!!!. Its a bugger for all the ITK's & YouTuber Platforms as there are literally zero leaks now - so you can tell that they are struggling what to talk about. I reckon that we will continue to only hear about deals a day or so before they are announced.

I hope so.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

All usual outlets.

We were never in for him. Previous player, paper talk rumour, regurgitated lazy journalism shite.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

I hope so.

So do I.
But have have this niggling feeling that we might have new owners but basically they are just the American version of the Prince.
A couple of posters saying we are only after loans and freebies and that the owners think the squad is good enough already is a bit worrying, especially as we are now weaker with the sale of Vini.
It would be so United to have the poorest Saudi owner followed by the poorest American owners in football.

Hell of a lot of supposition and nothing of any substance whatsoever in there, my friend. It’s very early in the transfer window. Best to ignore rumours from know nowts and see what actually happens. There’s certainly nothing to be worrying about at this stage.

We're a championship football club with reduced income, a high wage bill and have just spent £10m on a lower league striker.
We won't be skint in an S6 sense but having not long ago received a points deduction for not paying transfer fees I'm intrigued as to why you think there's money to spend without significant outgoings.
If I owned SUFC and was talked into spending £10m (and a lot more on wages) for our Tommy pretty sure I'd be a tad annoyed.
The reality is that spend blew a hole in what otherwise might have been available for this season.

You're assuming that it was that way round. From all accounts it seems they came to Wilder and said, "Do you want this player?". That's hardly them being talked into it!

 

[Old Programme seller]

Forrest went up with loans in fact they didn’t have a team of their own personally I’m more in to the way we play and obviously the score line of course it’ll come to a point where we have to buy but that’s my personal criteria.

 

[Nick Jansky]

That’s one account. There are plenty of others. I doubt we’ll ever get to know.

Not really worried i know its only early in the transfer window, still shocked we got the Forest lad in, Premiership sides don't tend to do loans this early in the window.
It's just the posters saying the negative things and the fact we are not really linked with any players for a fee other than the Tottenham lad which now seems to have gone quiet.
I guess not really knowing alot about our owners or their plans dosent help either.

 

[Inter_blade83]

Completely relaxed about no transfer business, it’s never caught us out before…

And we still nearly got a point lol

 

[Birdwell Blade]

I hope so.

Same here, loads better

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Hope our Ai system has a good stock replenishment capability…It might get tested very soon.

Loans and Frees aren’t ‘free’ and certainly not always cheap. As long as the players coming in improve the first team I couldn’t care less what their contract status is.

We’ve had our fair share of expensive flops, fantastic players on loan and bargain free signings. Not sure why everyone gets their knickers in a twist over it.

Oh, I’ll bow to your greater knowledge.

 

[Youngand70]

So freebies v big money signings.

Tyrese Campbell 1 - Tom Cannon 0

 

[The Fox]

Compared to the chaos at S6 and even ourselves at this time a year ago I'll take quietness all day long .
Seams the owners , ceo and manager have a harmonious relationship, no daft rumours or leaks from wilders mates .
Having a summer without turmoil , for a while is a nice change .

 

[1889]

You're assuming that it was that way round. From all accounts it seems they came to Wilder and said, "Do you want this player?". That's hardly them being talked into it!

And his answer to that question, should have been, ‘No, absolutely not !’, which, evidently it wasn’t.

I haven't got my knickers in a twist, just voicing a slight concern.
But thanks for pointing out frees aren't 'free', silly me thinking we didn't pay agents or signing on fees on frees.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Because everyone - our entire social media team, scouting department, recruitment and actual targets - have all gone to Birmingham/Leeds/Sunderland/Wrexham or whomever is this season's Villa.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

I should think so as well.

Like Wilder is ever going to say "No" to a new striker! So, either way, Cannon is down to the owners!

 

[ATL Recs]

No they didn't - Wilder was in for him in the Summer towards the windows end it got pulled due to no more money available - it was a Wilder want

 

[Keith S]

Ok then it was, "Do you still want this player?"! Either way, it wasn't him talking them into it!

So you’re in a pub, someone offers you a bag of coke, you accept, but you get stopped and searched on your way home.

The person who gave you it is culpable, not you?

Interesting?

But the original premise was that he'd talked the owners into it. Which, it would appear, wasn't the case.
In your analogy, the bloke in the pub already knows I like Coke. If he doesn't offer me the coke I don't get it. The supplier is ultimately responsible, whether I accept his offer or not. Without the supplier, I don't get the Coke.

Yes as a supplier and you as a user.

 

[ATL Recs]

He was obviously on his new year wants list and recommended the player. Cannon said in November he wanted to come here in the summer and the manager wanted him but it couldn't be done due to us being skint

It was the case - he will have given them a list of targets ( excluding CH's of course)

 

[Keith S]

That's not talking them into it though, is it! That's basically his job as manager! It's up to them whether they act on his list.

Whatever happens were starting off better than last season
