There could be something in that I spose. I see the old current bun this morning saying we’re lining up Silva.
My guess tho is that the players we want, and the clubs we’re buying from, are both holding off to see if someone else offers them More Money. That’s how our transfer dealings usually seem to go down. Either they end up signing for us late in the window for something reasonable, or they go elsewhere for more dollar.
Clearly. Here’s a thought. Perhaps no one has been signed yet because we haven’t been able to reach an agreement with agents/clubs/players? As someone said recently, the reason so many deals are done late on in the window is because agents are waiting to see if they can get a better offer for their clients. That doesn’t mean that we are shit. It just means that we don’t have the pulling power of Barcelona or Manchester United. I appreciate that this won’t help your blood pressure any, or change your opinion of the people who run the club, but it is what it is. So rather than keep whining on like the kid in the back seat saying “Are we nearly there yet” every ten minutes, why not wait until the window shuts and give the club both barrels then?
9 Premiership clubs have yet to sign anyone. Do you think they all have their version of Barry on the Internet, counting down the days like sleeps until Christmas?
Reminds me of when he was stranded on the Matress planet,
“I was stuck at the Dell, the first 1,000 years they weren’t bad, the next 1,000, they weren’t bad either, the 1,000 years after that were OK…then we moved to SMS”
“Funny,” @barry-sanchez intoned funereally, “how just when you think football can’t possibly get any worse it suddenly does.”
“My capacity for happiness, you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first”
“Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don’t know why I bother to say it, oh God, I’m so depressed. Here’s another one of those self-satisfied Saints’ fans. Life! Don’t talk to me about life.”
