Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Mate you’re going off on one and claiming things I’ve simply not said

I didn’t say one player is not instrumental to winning the league, I said that it’s unlikely Mudryk is that player and is not in fact an investment for the future (which I absolutely believe he was, and whilst it’s disappointing to lose out to Chelsea…I don’t believe the player was being bought for this seasons title push)

Fair enough then.

[Ollie the Optimist]

He has signed for Chelsea on an 8 & half year deal and by some accounts, for over 150k a week wages.

Hes played 65 games and mainly in a Ukrainian league.

Hes clearly talented but that money on that length a deal? I think we are better off out

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eight and a half year contract for Mudryk.

Is that allowed?

[Marc Overmars]

Surely Chelsea have bent some FFP rulings somewhere here? Absolutely insane expenditure under Boehly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're buying Nkunku in the summer too.

[LDG]

Fucksake.

Those rules are completely toothless.
The suggestion that we should pay twice what someone’s worth just because another club will is mental.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I just don't get where the motivation is to perform when on a contract of that length. It's nuts.

We're offering Saka 200k a week and he is yet to sign.

This deal just means Chelsea are going to build their club around him and thats fair play to them.

I've seen more talent in him than I saw in Hazard when we were all chasing him.

He'll be a success and will also be a marketing coup.

[Mac76]

Whilst I think we need to make a signing, the reputation thing is bollocks…who the fuck cares? It’s not kids in a playground. Plus rather be thought of as a club that won’t spend big to win things (as if Mudryk was going to be the difference between us winning the league or not) rather than a club that other clubs see coming that they can offload their shite on for ridiculous money.

Everyone knows our squad's too thin, that's the problem, we ran out of steam last season because he played people like Saka in every game, the same will happen unless we deepen the squad. Ok, we'll have Jesus, Nelson coming back and ESR is now available, but we need more IMO
