We've done well there.

I am fully aware it could be a 'me' thing 😉

Decent strikers are as rare as rocking horse shite due to gimpy trends in football. So they're all over priced

Wonder if there's a sneaky get out fee like what Chelsea had with Sancho last season

Glad it’s not just me. He’s looked terrible every time I’ve seen him - I thought there was a typo with an extra “0” added to the price.

I’m convinced that a lot of these dealings now are just dodgy ways of moving cash around to get around rules, likely between owners that have some connection from somewhere.

You look at the summer window of 2024 now and it really was a massive backward step on top of blowing promotion v Oxford at Wembley.

Lolos, Southwood, Schon and Arfield gone already. Tutu injured (again), McAtee has not had the impact we hoped and Forino is decent on his day but not commanding a place in the first XI week in and out. 

 

And this January was awful as well

I read it was a £14m loan fee possibly costing up to £70m if they eventually sign him. He'll only cost the 70 if he has a storming season for them. Getting the £14m was the robbery

Yeah, Jackson seems to be in that category of player that just has "I'm a top striker" imprinted on his head, and it doesn't matter if he plays like Dan, the furthest he can fall is to another champions league standard team.

Whereas there are quality L1 or championship strikers that could score 40 a season and they are forever classed as "lower level".  I bet Jackson wouldn't even be top scorer in L1 if he played for Stevenage.

Its the same with managers - some fail everywhere and never drop below Prem level or equivalent, others consistently over achieve in lower divisions and its irrelevant because they aren't big personalities.

3 ex Bolton loanees - Matete, Maghoma, Murphy - I wonder if any of them will get any appearances this season in any proper game.  Maghoma's career seems to be going nowhere.

Murphy and matete I doubt it as they are rubbish from what we experienced at Bolton

Being "rubbish" doesn't mean players don't get moves.  Etete.

Sorry I probably misquoted you, I thought you meant as in nobody would take them in the EFL.  But I agree they aren't getting any games for the clubs they belong to.

chelsea had to pay 5 million or so to send sancho back to united

He'd got into the 1st team squad then got injured

Yeah that’s what I meant. No professional footballer is rubbish but I can’t see them two playing at a high level
