    Exactly with Jota it's a non story of speculative pish thats being thrown about.

    A court case about historic abuse is exactly what it is, but it's nothing to do with the football and again, speculative pish that the Hun have been shouting about for years now it's going to shut us down as they were shut down. That's the hun level * I'm on about. It's amazing that it's all spring about now only on the back of a negitive transfer window thusfar

    Lads as much as we all love a good debate on child abuse :71: I'm sure there is a thread for it. It's * depressing enough at the minute without reading this.

    This window is getting pathetic now.

    Huns are * but we are weaker than last season, as it stands league is 50/50 IMO.

    I get tying players down on new deals are important but it’s a waste of time and energy at this stage in the window.

    Both players are already contracted to May 2026 - basically 3 years to run. By all means give them new deals, but this stuff can be negotiated in a few weeks time.

    Get new players in and worry about that stuff later.

    Sceptical about giving Abada a new deal, if we can sell him now for £10m with adds on and replace I would. He’s not creative or skilful enough for me despite his goal contributions.

    Seeing Tierney is being linked on a loan to buy … how long does he have left on his deal?

    Let's get creative.

    They owe us clause for UCL qualification and a sell on, take that off the fee they want maybe next summer if we can get him and then spread the £15m over a 5 year deal £3m a season lol

    So when the rumours start floating about, about Hatate rejecting a new deal the club are straight to their man to let us know the proper situation. Can they leak him some names now too please!

    You just know Ryan Fraser is going to be our blockbuster deadline day signing, don't you?

    Well run clubs shouldn't really need deadline-day signings. Their targets should have been identified and recruited long before then. Deadline-day is for English clubs with more money than sense who panic and feel they need "another 1 or 2 in" otherwise their season will collapse. I'll admit it can be good tv to hear all the names and moves being put about but, as I say, a well run club shouldn't need to participate in it.

    Speaking to John Viaola a few weeks back at a match at Easterhouse stepford training centre he said most deals in last 2 weeks of window are done and sky ask for them to be completed on deadline day for the drama down south

    Yes and no. Take Tierney as prime example. If we get him, it will be on deadline day. Arsenal are holding out for a fee but if it doesn't materialise , they may look to loan him to us on the final hours. All this has nothing to do with being 'well run'.

    Massive clubs make deadline day signings, I have no issue with deadline day signings. Well run clubs don't go into the final 10 days of their main window far worse off, which is what we have done. I think most of us would actually accept not everyone in as of yet but the fact so far Nawrocki was the only starter signed so far and of Starfleet hadn't left he would probably be 3rd choice.

    And what if they don't let him go for whatever reason? What then? I see what you're saying but I still believe any club that is on top of it's transfer dealings shouldn't be hanging around waiting until the final day of the transfer window to see what scraps are being thrown from the English Premier league sides.

    If the club were clear with their intention to not deviate from the financial plan as it has always been, they could still have solved the necessary positions with signings in the ballpark of Lagerbielke to Nawrocki, and done so early (by Aug 10). A declaration that our transfer business is done would have left an impression we are a stingy, yet organized club.

    This way, we are waiting and waiting, with Rodgers having one left back he is willing to use, that needs upgraded on. One GK he's willing to use, and that needs upgraded on. And no clear solution to the LW position. He'd like to use Maeda as a CF, but cannot. At least speedy deals are better than no deals.
