This is a slow news day story.

Yep, it's either not true or saying exactly what we've known for over a week.

 

[Inq]

Iam sure I saw a POK tweet where he said the delay is at the Wolfsburg end with them possibly wanting to sign a replacement first.

he mentioned that’s what he is guessing the hold up is.

Tanganga?

 

[yido_number1]

Tanganga?

Dier Sanchez and tanganga in one go would be ideal

 

[Stamford]

Musings on Twitter suggest Wolfsburg playing games not us. But you know, Levy.

Bloody Wolfsburg stopping us from getting a CB for the past two years!

People have to stop taking everything he says as fact rather than opinion.

I think people also have to stop telling people what they can and can’t listen to.

But stoof, is this you telling people to stop listening to people who tell them who they can listen too

No this is me trying to think which apparently this evening no go so good.

 

[Fredo]

If he cared about success on the pitch both players would be bought now.

Which doesn't make any sense to me. Surely he wants the financial benefits of Champs League, high league placing etc. Even he's not dumb enough to know we need 1 or 2 new CB's in

with the lowest cost possible. the game is about profits but never been glory

 

[Ron Burgundy]

with the lowest cost possible. the game is about profits but never been glory

I do think there's an element of truth in that. I would guess that the most optimally profitable state to be in, as a football club, is one that:
- regularly qualifies for the CL
- gets to the latter stages of the CL
- continually develops (whether through purchase or youth team) good young players to sell on
-...but doesn't get involved in the mega deals needed (i.e. buying Mbappe for £150m+) to breach that marginal gap between good and great

I think he'd be delighted to get there. By the way, so would I - we were there at one point, but we lost our way through bad managerial hires and poor acqusitions.

We also forgot how to sell for a good profit i.e. Rose, Eriksen etc.

So far he was spot on, we choose who to listen too

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Which is worse the people that make the accounts, or the people that fall for them?

The 'makers'...........BUT, you'd think by now people would know the kind of drivel you get on there and be a lot more careful before reproducing that shit anywhere, let alone on here. A bit of care would go along way.

It isn't as if it isn't pointed out on here pretty regularly, so there's a certain frustration surrounding it. Take a bit of care and it improves the whole SC thing.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Maybe. I'm no fan of his but let's be honest here, people need to stop taking everything as fact and start dishing out the salt. With all of it. From all of them.

The best thing people can do is take it all in, then filter it, salt it and be smart enough not to take anything as 'gospel' and take in the bigger picture.

Would be happy with this at the ultimate destination for us? Would you be worried about winning trophies or competitions on top of this?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I think as a medium term destination, then yes, I'd be happy enough with this until the reality of our situation changes.

If we stayed in that area, we would build up the financial resources and the infrastructure required to take the next step.

Then we can worry about trophies - until then, it'd be a pretty good spot to be in.

 

[Erik ten Hank]

The more I see from this fella, the less I'm convinced.

He might develop into a good CB but doesnt seem anywhere near ready to start for us this season

 

[PhezTHFC]

Is this the longest drought of itk (from a decent source) we've gone through? Very queit, i understand things are happening but usually there are snippets here and there from someone
