Confirmed Signing Amadou Onana

[gedefc]

What was the last one we properly messed up? Leroy Fer? A good decade ago

Gabriel, Fernando, Fer, Sissoko

Theres probably others tbh, cant think

I mean losing out to targets/ getting gazumped in the final seconds

I don't think this really happens much. Not that we know of anyway.

Our problem is signing the wrong players at the wrong prices, not missing out on signing players.

To be fair this has probably happened about twice in my lifetime.

Gabriel and Sissoko changed their minds, is what it is

We haven't properly messed one up in forever. Yes, the deals are typically protracted and take longer than they probably should. But we're hardly Manny Fernandes'ing every deal

How's that gonna happen when HE'S SIGNED A CONTRACT?

This is the new Dele on loan, I swear.

Sissoko and Walker/Naughton are about the only examples I can think of. We weren't gazumped with leroy Fer - did he not fail a medical?

Yeah Fer and the Odjidja fella were in the same window. Fer was because of his exploding knees and the other fella was a genuine balls up from us, but no one came in and gazumped us for either, they both stayed at their clubs.

I’d say we need both of them in place with a couple of training sessions for the early villa game on Saturday. Needs to be announced in next 24 hours ideally.

Not even changed minds so much, simply London or Liverpool. Unfortunately the pull of London is always going to win. Look at Newcastle with all their $$$ quite a few have turned them down this summer because of that age old issue of not wanting to live in the north east.

Did we not try to haggle over the transfer fee for Gabriel due to COVID and then Arsenal made an offer? Definitely not one of our worst transfer disasters.

Fernandes strikes me more than sissoko and the others.

Litearlly attended a game and then said cya im off to Valencia.

Fer was a lucky miss really, struggled at Norwich, qpr and Swansea. The medical team just saving us some cash

 

[lancs blue]

Tranmere have made a bid. Hes seriously considering their offer

No big miss anyway, have we seen his hairline? Its a disgrace
