I know everyone is kicking off at the guy but i fully understand if Blues has come in and offered double that he'd at least be trying to get us to up our offer slightly. I feel like anyone would do the same if they were offered 2 jobs at the same time and the one they prefer was offering less money.
Doug should be increasing the offer, no brainer.
He might have to a bit at least. The player is in a good negotiating position. Not saying offer what Blues are as they have a fucking mental transfer policy, but you have to be somewhat flexible. If Lampard wants him, you go back to the table and try and find something that works for everyone.
I’m sure we are and the fact he’s come back would indicate he wants to make it work with us.
We *are* the highest scoring team in the country, despite our top scorer (soon to return btw) being injured and us not replacing him. We’re also top of the league and are about to bring in a winger who was sold for £14 million in the last window. I think that’s a pretty good spot to be in personally.
The people rimming these clubs should take note, blowing transfer fees and wages out of proportion is bad for the rest of us.
Yes? How are you still not getting this!
I agree, it just pisses me off to see ‘let’s be happy for Wrexham’ when shit like this is ruining the competition.
Shit songEMC on the left
Esse in the no 10
Rak-Sakyi on the right
Wilson up top
Make it happen Douglas
It’s not about the Manneh, Manneh, MannehI’ve never seen so much conversation dedicated to a player founded entirely on speculation and agent talk
Can we jus chill with the Manneh chat now?!
Have you ever been on this forum before??I’ve never seen so much conversation dedicated to a player founded entirely on speculation and agent talk
Simms has been a revelation. Yes he has flaws. But hes capable of that immense lone striker performance...like Boro away...Portsmouth away...etc etc.
No it wasn't.
Are you confusing me for someone else or just making stuff up? I’ve said all along we should bring in a winger on loan and I’ve said that Esse is a good signing.
It’s being caught between a rock and a hard place. If we don’t try and compete, we’ll end up falling behind and getting relegated anyway.
I’m sorry, while this is all very flattering and frankly somewhat intimidating, nowhere do I say we shouldn’t bring in a PL-quality player on loan which is exactly what we’ve done?
We are only team that can atm can genuinely offer a promotion bonus.
Co’mon, don’t play the victim - you were more than happy digging up some post I made nearly 13 years ago to make a point.
Unfortunately in this case he appears to have gone to great effort to dredge up stuff that doesn’t even back up what he thought I said
You wanted a PL player to add to the squad so that they were there for the PL.
That’s pretty much what you did to me. It was funny, the joke was on me and I owned it…
It’s easy to go back to 2013 when those are the most recent posts on something!
I’ve consistently said that bringing in players on a permanent basis is the issue I’ve got, given our chances of promotion. Short-term signings and loans are a different story. Again, incredible that you’ve still not figured this out after all the effort you’ve gone to looking over my posts.
Exactly this. He may be a great player in the future, but we dont need players for the future at this moment. We need ready made players like Esse who have had 3 seasons in this league previously and done well.
