That situation as a huge effect on the club's finances not to mention the fear of falling back into the trap of profit and sustainability rules but everybody’s finances, other clubs are finding the wherewithal to bring players in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 When Dom Howson say Wednesday are keeping close tabs on Sanderson what does that actually mean? We're still deciding whether to sign him? Or we're waiting for Wolves to decide if they're letting him go? Maybe they need to sign a replacement for Doherty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like some people would be happy if we signed literally anyone. Like addicts needing their next fix. If there’s no news for a few days then the world is coming to an end. It’s not just our fans it’s fans of all clubs though and unfortunately in general the way of the world. People want change but aren’t prepared to allow for change to happen. Like I say give it a week and then see where we are. As soon as we sign someone I can almost guarantee many of the posters desperate for us to sign a striker will be the same ones who immediately say he's not good enough. Imagine for a moment we signed Nuhiu. How loud would be the cries of anguish? It is what it is, we need strikers, we are doing our best but keeping it quiet while negotiations take place. Do you seriously think the club intends to go into the league season with no strikers? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that promise get caveated with when they’d arrive? Like day one of window, last day of it? I mean we spent fortunes trying the quotes approach and it never worked, we are still carrying the cost as a club and a fan base. I’d hope that prices won’t be going up for a while as costs are definitely coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 My issue is we probably knew 18 months ago it was a real possibility Fletcher, Winnall, Nuhiu, Forestieri would walk away at the end of their contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m curious about is that given we will sign players (vs times when that was certainly no guarantee) and gave already signed players.... why are they still whining like spoilt teenagers.

Id imagine about the time they have to submit their squads or other transfer windows close down around Europe. Usually last 2 weeks of window isn’t it? Not great for us, but hopefully not all our irons are in that fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most posters on here have been here a while. I’m sure they remember worse times than this, so why the drama and upset? Presumably because this is the first time in my lifetime that we start a season on -12 points. We have lost half of our squad last season and the remains of the senior players will be free agents next June. They have had very little preseason, injuries will happen and currently we are struggling to put a completive first 11 out, match practise has not happened because of the closeness to the last season to this one. The team is being asked to play a new way and a new formation but had no match practise to hone it because other LCFC we have played no pre season friendlies. Add to that so many players are not even at the club yet, so how can we expect the team to be ready for the start of the season. In past seasons when we have had a lot of players we have taken 6-10 games, to get used to playing together at that point this season we could be 15-20 adrift of 4th bottom. Fans are not entitled but equally they expect to club to act in a professional way and get the team ready to play 46 games not 40 games because we are going to need every point just to stay in the league. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To address your point - ‘we pay top prices and we’re promised top players’ Dont we have on our books despite quite a few players leaving: - The record scorer in this division ever? - Ex GK team of the year winner? - The player who created the most chances per minute in the league last season - Top creative midfielders by key passes made per game Did your top player quote have a quota of how many? Should it be two in every position? How much money should the club lose before your cost is justified? Should we risk a bigger fine/deduction to satisfy your seemingly need for top players? I’m actually delighted the club is cutting its cloth a bit better and negotiating harder on deals / not spending for sake of getting them in at all costs. What I find odd is the same posters demanding Chansiri pay the extra million or two to make the Rhodes deal happen are the same that bemoan high prices and how the club has been deducted points. Crazy, hypercritical, entitled. That’s what’s become of a fan base that was revered across the country! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
