Will we announce 5 over the course of the whole window? Going to be inconvenient when we reach a stage where most clubs have signed more than us after people have spent the last few weeks claiming nobody else is doing any business.

I know I am quoting myself but, this shows a lot of guesswork from the press. This was 2 weeks ago and Stoke have announced it today. Link to post Share on other sites
Angry_Pirate 1201 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 To save other people a Google... "Liam Lindsay for £2m. Adam Davies, Jordan Cousins, Nick Powell and Lee Gregory on free transfers." Gregory is a meh signing to me, but Cousins is highly rated and we all know what Powell is about and we could have done worse than all 5 at our positions of need. GK, CB, CM, AMC, CF - Talk about building a spine of a team for £2m. Dont see any of them being nailed on best X1 here but certainly upgrades on most championship 18's. The queue for the buffet is getting long and if Mowbray ain't careful we're going to end up with only the last tuna and egg mayo sandwich which has a piece of bread missing.

Just wait for the talk about it only being 4 months until January when we can sign players instead. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Atko's Engine 797 Posted June 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2019 From my perspective, Downing is an unexpected start to summer's dealings but surely not the last arrival. He's certainly got great experience to bring to a young team as Chapman openly stated, so he should be viewed as just 1 piece of the overall jigsaw. On a separate note, whilst I'm all for people discussing opinions and speculating on transfers, budgets, fees paid, missed opportunities on new players etc. which is all part & parcel of being a fan, IMO some on here go too far in their criticism of TM. No he's not ruthless, he's not Mr Motivator, but he's clearly got integrity & decency as a human being and the respect of many stalwarts within the game because of it. I believe he is trying to do right by the club and us fans, not feather his own nest as many on here would have us believe. He can't please everyone, who can? He's made mistakes and will make more. But he's helped bring a sense of normality to a crazy club, under crazy owners, which we could have only dreamed of 2 years ago. So please can folk on here not use any signing another club makes, any quote another manager makes about their vision for their club, any & every inconsistent comment TM might make from time to time, or even the order in which players sign for the club (!!) as a stick to beat him with? He should only be judged on this summer's dealings in August, not before. Link to post Share on other sites
