Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[KSE Comedy Club]

I think he’s suggesting your despairing tone is a tad over the top, and that whilst yes it’s entirely possible to have a signing done this early. The fact that we haven’t made a signing yet doesn’t suggest we aren’t acting with urgency. You can at least see that right?

Of course, although I don't agree that I have a 'despairing tone' lol.
But I can also disagree with him and state for a fact that we haven't signed anyone yet & based on our history in transfer market dealings, we do like to elongate and piss about with our targets.
More so than other clubs do.

Day 3 of the transfer window:

No. of signings - 0
Players likely to leave - 1

....if Sir Keir can express his frustrations, we should be allowed to also

Careful now, you may be at risk of coming across with a 'despairing tone'

You may not intend to have a despairing tone but that’s how it’s coming across

Well we may as well close this thread then as there is nothing worth talking about until an official announcement

Why do you keep on conflating me disagreeing with you with me shutting you down or stopping you talking about stuff?
If I wanted to do that I would use my POWERS to delete your posts or just lock the thread.
Talk about what you like, dude. There's little or no moderation on here these days.
If you want to wring your hands every day about nothing being announced then go nuts.
I just think you're being a bit silly so I'm saying so. If this were mid-August then I'd be concerned too. But it isn't, so I'm not.

And now the victimhood, please stop pretending that you’re being tone policed

It’s an observation nothing more.

Plus using Mudryk as an example. Shaktah wanted a payment structure and frankly a fee that was outrageous. If you want a player but you don’t want to meet the clubs price, you let things drag out…I don’t see an issue with that. Clubs like Chelsea want to swoop in oh well, we had a backup option in Trossard and got in there quite quickly.

That seemed like a pretty efficient way of doing things if you ask me

Who is stopping you from expressing your frustrations

Again, who do you think is stopping you?

I'm interested in that claim. I don't know if that's true. It certainly feels like it might be. But I'd suggest one factor here is how with our own transfer sagas we probably follow them more closely than other clubs. Every set of fans feels their club is uniquely hard done by by officials, which obviously can't be true. So this could be the same - maybe supporters of every club feel their club is uniquely inept in the transfer market and slow to wrap up deals.
Honestly, I don't know.
