Plus, getting linked with a player early has no bearing on how high up the list they are. Koroma might have been made available say, a week or two ago, and we registered our interest just to test the waters. Becker I think probably was a target, but we won't be the only club that misses out on players this summer. had a frightening reading moment then, sprang out at me like....Pulis getting linked....

FinallyRegistered 91 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 There's been links to Enzo Crivelli from Caen. Seems to be a bit of a targetman with good work rate. Do people think that he's the sort of striker Woody is looking for? Personally I'm not convinced Link to post Share on other sites

Some people disagreed on former players whether they should come back or not. 2 of our alleged targets Knudsen and Koroma have gone to other teams. Downing has gone to Blackburn I got a like for a couple of my posts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Linked with a couple of players but the policy is this is what we think you are worth, take it or leave it. Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not July no, but with the deadline being 8th August we still have only 6 weeks to get things done, it’s not like we still have another 2 months like before. Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,078 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Does it generally feel like more money has been thrown about early this summer with Madrid splashing so much cash? Or about the same as last year with Liverpool doing the same? Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that's true. But even in summer 2017, when it felt like we got everyone we really wanted, our earliest signing was Cyrus Christie on July 10th. I wouldn't be too concerned about 'missing out' on players unless we head into the second week of July or so without any new signings. 9 minutes ago, Foogle said: Does it generally feel like more money has been thrown about early this summer with Madrid splashing so much cash?

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think with the Internationals only being recent the big money moves will happen in a week or 2 when international players return from there time off. I expect United to spend over 100million again and City will probably spend near enough that. I think Villa will do a Fulham and throw 10s of millions this summer as well.

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I mean Hudds Examiner say Koroma was signed as a 3rd striker behind Grant and Mounie even if we were in for him doesn't seem like a huge loss at the moment. The Becker loss to Union Berlin is a little concerning to me it's not like he's gone to a mid table top 4 league team if Berlin was the height of our competition for a free agent and we missed out it's a yikes. The 'agent' excuse has been used eternally from Ross' agent at Leeds 6 years ago to Becker there's a point where it becomes a catch all out for missing out on targets every summer. Usually we wait around for a target, miss out, wallow in self pity then scramble for scraps like Puncheon I'm hoping we moved on from Becker a week ago not a day ago.

Agents do often cock a lot of things up though, there's a reason it's a common cause of failed dealings. He just got a new agent too and it's Raiola, who is notorious for *** like this.

It may be purely down to personal preference. He may prefer to live in Berlin than Middlesbrough. Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose that there’s the seedy clubs, ladies of the night, far right views and hardcore techno. But then again, Berlin has its fair share of those too! 5 Link to post Share on other sites
