You managed to completely miss the point. It's not that no one will pay what they want, it's that we (likely) can't.

They are, actually. Window closed so limited pool of players to pick from and anyone we're interested in will very likely have lots of interest from other championship clubs and elsewhere, some of him will undoubtedly be able to offer higher wages than us.

Since he's one of the two best players this club has seen in the past 20 years, obviously yes.

The result on saturday is irrelevant, but I think it's clear we would've benefitted from signing an additional CM.

I suspect wage demands will be an issue for any free agents we would be interested in.

Latibeaudiere is not going to play in midfield for us. He's never done it at club level and Robins has already said he won't. Let's put this myth to bed please.

At risk of sounding like a broken record 1. The league was much weaker last year 2. He did that while playing alongside Hamer, not replacing him. Also playing less than 60% of minutes is hardly something to shout about.

Walker is going too far. But look at what we’ve done for strikers. Spent big on two after losing Vik, while still having Godden who can compete. Should ideally have done the same in central midfield.

Yes, I made my account back in 2015 in anticipation of becoming a fan 8 years later. Also the season ticket I’ve had for 20 years suddenly came in handy!

I don’t think it’s that astounding. We’ve seen enough of Eccles to judge now, and to me it seems clear he doesn’t (yet) have the technical or tactical attributes to push us into the top 6.

Does anyone have more info on the targets we were looking at in midfield and why we didn’t get them? The only substantial rumour I am aware of was Swift on deadline day that couldn’t be done without West Brom paying off some of his contract.

Adding stoppage time on to minutes played is a new one, do you know where that time comes from? 🤣 Palmer was noticeably tired last 20 min.

It really isn’t irrelevant whether or not the best midfielder in the league was playing alongside him. You could’ve put a sack of potatoes in there with Hamer last year and he’d have made it work.

Last year we had Hamer. How many of those 10 games did he play? An Eccles-Kelly midfield should terrify any sane fan.

Bit embarrassing when the United manager is talking about a great performance after losing 3-1 to Arsenal

Stone cold from Jesus

Time (and United’s defence) seemed to stand still as Rice brought that down to strike it.

Not gonna argue any more, but it is fairly obvious last year's league was weak. And this years will be far stronger.

Ok, let’s look at the performance of the promoted teams so far. P10 W0 D1 L9 GF9 GA27 It’s an inarguable fact that last year was a weak league.

Not nonsense at all. The quality was heavily lacking, Luton finished 3rd comfortably, we got 5th with 70 points which usually wouldn’t even get you in the playoffs. This season comparatively is very strong and we won’t get there with Allen and co starting games.
