rather listen to the dof who's identified good European talents in the past rather than buy the likes of Longstaff and Ings

Longstaff rumours today, 0 about Ings tbf

Longstaff has been rumoured for a good while now way before Moyes took over

It is difficult. The argument is that if you're buying for the future then that isn't much good for the here and now. It depends on the view taken of how acute our situation is.

We have much catching up to do, so we should be active in every window to the extent we can. The issue is when deals collapse on deadline day and you have no Plan B, or Plan B player/Club/Agent isn't keen on being Plan B in the first place, or they've gone elsewhere by the time you want them.

Outside the elite clubs and those with more finances/appeal than us, then it's a waiting game. A club may need to replace a player, or may need more cash than is offered, and naturally it falls to the last few days before clubs become willing sellers. Everybody watches everyone else wait.

It's not an excuse though - this is the market and they know what we need.

I don't mind him but the way he was going on about Dyche was a shock, backed him all the way and peddled the 'miracle worker' bs.

Didn't Benitez want one of the Longstaffs?

Ultimately Moyes is the one charged with steering us to safety so no one else's opinion should come into it, especially someone who's not going to be here come the summer.

Nice one Al

Big Al, finger on the pulse as always.

If he was a Mars bar he'd eat himself.

Can't remember mate but probably. Rumours the summer gone and coming up to this transfer window too that either Thelwell or Dyche were interested in Sean Longstaff

 

[COYBL25]

Will go to deadline day

I am ITK now BTW

DON'T ask me reveal my sources you peasants

At long last, Big Al Myers outs himself on GOT.

End of the day if there is a disagreement about long- term v short-term investment then it should be for the ownership to step in and guide how their money is spent.

Ultimately it’s for them to say whether they want it invested in young players for the longer term or in experienced players for immediate survival. Both arguments have some merit to them in our situation but they could at least provide guidance to settle things and get moving.

Alternatively Benj knows jack all

No point worrying until the window closes. They’ll be working on it.
