Just seen it, apparently we are now shopping for players to keep us in the top 6, great on paper but I reckon that for player's of that calibre £45 - £50m is probably your opening gambit, and yet who we have signed is nowhere near being that quality or price.
Scamacca looks promising.. We spent around £84m to date. So if we assume we budgeted for around £150m( a figure that has been frequently bandied around) Then each of the 3 players presumed required can be around £22m each. Loans with options would seem more likely if your theory is to be followed and probably now a reason it is taking so long. Just my guess though.
I haven't listened to the interview as I'd rather watch a car rust. Whatever was said he's probably been up most nights reading a carefully written script put together from those above him on what to say and to watch his P's and Q's.
I wouldn't believe him if he told me Christmas was in December.
To me he's nothing but a snivelling little weasel who'll say anything to keep his job and desperate to keep the fans on his side.
Three Dave's, all good chums together.
Shouldn't we have been looking for players to improve the 1st eleven in the first place . Really do not see what Downes or Cornet are here for , they definitely aren't top six players and dont improve my starting eleven in a top six side .
Will say that Scamacca looks very promising already and should start against Forest .
Wheres our top six LB , LW , CB and DM .

Have I misunderstood something.
Thoughts please.
Shopping for players of that calibre is one thing but asking the staff to put them back for you when you get to the checkout tills and see the price is another.

Agree Cornet wouldn’t improve a top 6 team but I do think he improves our wafer thin squad and starting 11

Let's hope your right about Cornet , as I have selected him in my starting 11 against Forest at his supposedly best position at LB , and not were his manager at Burnley got lucky for a while up front or on the left in attack .

Really? His best position? Heard he’s played there before but thought he was more an attacking winger type mainly. Just don’t give the cunt penalty duty.
He won’t start LB when Cresswell is fit though, we all know that
