    We had this yesterday ffs you're the only one banging this drum.

    Break it down. We know he wanted to leave. Best case scenario is the summer and worst case scenario was January.

    Are you telling me that we do nothing with regards preparation for either scenario? It's as simple as that.

    Well I'd hope so but I'm starting to doubt it.

    If he said he wants to leave then they are not going to force him to stay. No player performs to their best if they want to leave. They've known he would be off for a good while. They've just not made any arrangements to replace him.

    There should be no need for panic signings 5 mins before the window shuts. It's not come as a surprise.
    It just seems like a lack of professionalism.
    We just to take no action when he told us he wanted to go.
    A more professional set up would have listened to him and immediately went out and started hunting a replacement. 4 months they had not just this transfer window

    Right, I'll ask you the same question I posed to the mouthy * yesterday - who btw still hasn't the aptitude to respond back to it...

    When did Kyogo leave? Last week. When did we supposedly go for Kvistgaarden? Last week into this week. Doesn't that tell you that we've went for someone we've identified?

    And, the most important question - when should we have signed a replacement for Kyogo then? ONLY Rennes came in for him and it was only concluded last week. So say we signed a replacement simply because Kyogo said he wanted to leave - that would have left us with New Guy, Idah, and Kyogo (plus Kenny and Maeda as options) - what would have happened if no one came in for Kyogo????

    Regardless of Jesus' supposed emotional state - am I lying?

    So I'll answer you. Our whole plan that we had months to look over was 1 player who btw we have been linked with since April 2023?

    We got nothing else? Hope that all goes well just pray they roll over and play ball.

    There's not a question as to what planning has and has not been done.

    No planning has been done.

    Or else we would already have signed his replacement cause it would have been planned for 4 months.


    I'm sorry I usually stick up for our board and the way we operate. But there is nothing u can say about that. Ridiculous.

    It reminds me of 1996 when John Collins gave us a whole season's notice that he was going to leave and we did nothing, almost as if we ignored him, and didn't think to either sell him for money or replace him. Just let him walk for free and didn't replace him.

    I thought that type of * unprofessional behaviour was 30 year in the past. It's not

    How do you know we've only looked at one player?

    And thank you btw for answering a simple question - not as much of a waste of our time now is it?

    Again, how do you know?

    Have you ever actually sat and watched any videos of managers etc actually trying to do deals during transfer windows? It's not exactly as plain sailing as some of you think it to be.

    You are not lying. We have 3 strikers. None of which are as good as Kyogo. Playing any of them makes the team weaker than when Kyogo was in the team.

    Why are we weakening our team instead of strengthening it?
    It could have been avoided.
    The position could and should have been filled as soon as it was vacated. We are weaker than we were a month ago and we're supposed to seriously try and compete with Bayern Munich? Why would u think that wd would have a better chance of succeeding if we weakened our team before we play them?

    What on earth are you on about? Where have I said that?

    Idah's scored two goals less than Kyogo.
    Japan manager seems to think Maeda's better than Kyogo at CF.
    We decided to recall Jonny Kenny from his loan due to his performances in Europe.

    Do I think we NEED another one in? Absolutely. Is there still plenty of time? Of course there is.

    I know because we don't have a replacement striker. If there was planning we'd have someone in. There has been no planning cause our plan (unless it's the pishist plan ever) could not have been to sell Kyogo and then wait to the end of the transfer window to bring in someone else.

    You know there has been no planning. The situation is screaming that at u. No one plans this. And if this is they're plan then they should be sacked

    Jaysus, the club should hire you to carry out transfer dealings mate. Sounds like you've got it nailed to a T.

    Not good enough. It should have been done within minutes of the window opening.
