Ever so slow, out of touch and poor in the transfer market. Hence why we’ve ended up with so much crap. Bruce won’t stand for it. Let’s hope they don’t get in his way.

We need to be better in the market. This is Bruce’s bread and butter and one of the reasons he’s here let him handle the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The worry is though that if Bruce is indeed getting frustrated as it sounds he is there is a big concern he will say enough is enough and he will walk. Be absolutely devastating if he does. Best manager we have had for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly, I'm sure Borner, Odubajo, Bidwell and Harris are done deals and will be announced 1st July. Bruce probably wants the other players on this wanted list in the door ASAP, so that they can all start training together in the next couple of weeks. We've got a manager who knows the more time the squad spends together the better chance of forming a winning side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reads like a journalist trying to make up stuff to make a story out of the very normal event that happens every year at every club...season ends, manager goes on holiday, comes back end of June to deal with transfers and get ready for players coming back from their hols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly his remit, but until we get some more structure in place it is what is needed. I'm sure Bruce will want as many in as possible for the start of pre season and some out to fund incomings.

Bluesteel Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Going hands on, presumably means having a serious word with his boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always rated him, came through the Everton academy and was highly thought of at one point, always played well against us. Think Fox then think footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember chansiri knows little to nowt about footy. So how does he know what to price players at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hasn't Bruce just come back from a long holiday with his family? Probably ready to crack on now and do some wheeling and dealing that chansari can't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
