January Transfer Window 2023

Wood is going to Forest it's agreed. He would be useless here too he's bog average and we don't get service in to DCL

I mean there are a million other explanations.

We are bidding for players, but nobody wants to join us.

That’s it really, isn’t it?

We’ve been guilty of trying to overreach in the market ever since Moshiri came in, meaning deals went down to the wire as we tried to score difficult-to-land targets.

The problem now is that ‘overreaching’ means we’re going for players that Brentford or Palace want, rather than players Arsenal or Tottenham want.

Desperate times.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

We should try to loan Digne back.

The ship hasn't sailed there. It's sunk.

 

[billyblue80]

Another issue we have is our owner and board still meddles it's been mentioned before but Thelwell and Brands before him can scout set deals up but they need clearance from the owner/board. It's probably why we end up with players who play in this league or have done because they haven't a clue

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Its a fair point, but they also arent talking about any serious investment either.

Newcastles takeover aside most buyouts happen pretty quick/under the rader.

None of us heard of Moshiri's interest.

I just dont see a world where a man like Moshers accepts 3 wins in 19 and rolling over to accept relegation whilst a new stadium being built.

Its just not his MO based on his time as owner - imo we're either potless or he's on the verge of selling the club/a stake and isnt willing to pony up millions if he doesn't need to.

Stinks of cost cutting doesn't it like the taps have been turned off. Reminds me of a toxic combination of reckless spending in year's gone by like QPR and how Leeds sank like a stone when they had to sell any quality

imo we're either potless

This seems the most likely.

As I keep saying, Mosh is "spending" his money on the Stadium, he cant "afford" to prop us with transfers also, like he has been doing.

I know people will say Relegation costs more, but the man really doesnt have an umlimited wallet, hes invested huge sums into this club and still is regards the Stadium. Sure, with a sale he should get some money back. But I always said, when he turned the taps off, we are beyond screwed. It was all fun and games when it wasnt his money, but now it is.

 

[Nymzee]

We have to overspend on wages to get players to come to a relegation fight you realise. It's extra pricey on top of the January tax.

 

[hktoffee]

Villa don't want him which confirms we were right to get shut.

Myko is crap though.

 

[toffee82]

Would you wanna be chased by some scaly in your new car?

Didn't realise it was Pete Price giving Gordon stick.

 

[Librarian]

Saying the fans are putting off players coming to us.

If the club acted decisively, weeks ago, change things instead of digging the heels in defiance, then it would be a fresh canvas for recruiting.

 

[brian labone]

I think the real reason for not buying anybody is down purely to FFP reasons and not being able to buy.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

But I always said, when he turned the taps off, we are beyond screwed. It was all fun and games when it wasnt his money,

Honestly can't remember the fun bit.

 

[Goat]

Honestly can't remember the fun bit.

YOU HAVE HAD GOOD TIMES

Dembele linked to Villa now that will put the tin lid on it
