They'll go again in the next window and the one after that will hopefully be with the CL incentive.
---
Go in to the rest of the season with Matip and Gomez as our only back ups then we'll finish top 6. Endo might be a good lad around the training ground but let's be honest here, he was playing for Stuttgart. Doucoure, Kone, Thuram and Boubacar Kamara are all much better players and will solidify that midfield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Phllips and the young centre back who was excellent in pre season, in emergencies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can tell that you're staunch FSG with that suggestion 😂
My Nan is quicker than Phillips and you want to trust an unproven youngster in the PL. TOOR, you've had an absolute mare here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, however we're talking about an emergency here, ie three centre backs being injured for Phllips to come in and four centre backs being injured for the young lad to come in. There's only one person having a mere here and it's very clear who that is.
We've got £100m to spend on a quality CB and CM and that's your solution? Just so you get the satisfaction of seeing us save money.
Next you'll be telling me that Tyler Morton can do a job in Midfield for us as well. 😂😂😂

So what if he was playing for Stuttgart? Gary McAllister was playing for Coventry at 35 and then we signed him.

No that's not my solution. You've completely made that up. My solution is to buy two players, which is the same as the club's solution who have been and still are trying to buy the two players. However if we can't get the right standard of player in, in an emergency, that's the solution. We'd have to be very unlucky for that to happen however.
And yes, young players can do a job and have done throughout the clubs history if you care to read up on it.

Don't get me wrong, Endo will probably do a solid job but he shouldn't be near the first 11. He's a EFL Cup/EL Groupe Stage player. The signing just seems unambitious.
Chelsea have signed 2 of the best midfield talents in the PL, and we've gone for a player who just about survived relegation.
Sums FSG up to a tee.

"Trying to sign players" A comment straight out of the pro-FSG manual.
What this consists of is making an enquiry and baulking at the asking price or offering a disgraceful lowball amount which is rejected out of hand.
Meanwhile, the likes of Chelsea and City stop faffing, pay the asking price, and get the job done. 👍

We signed a player who by all accounts was the reason for them surviving relegation. Caicedo had a car crash debut and Lavia hasn't even got past some nomarks to make their bench.
Have faith, we will sign more.

Or having bids accepted for the two players you praised Chelsea for signing, who both chose Chelsea.
Also City have pulled out of multiple deals past few seasons when they didn't like the cost.
Off the top of my head as more recent examples:
Cucurella

Now we have to ask ourselves why players are choosing Chelsea over us. They're not in Europe and a mess roght now. Might it be because they value the players highly and offer them contracts that show that high value?

London. We offered Caicedo more than Chelsea. We also met his asking price before Chelsea.

We spent three weeks haggling with Southampton over 5 million for Lavia, then jumped in with a ‘bid’ for a player who never showed any inclination to join us. Add to that Lavia deciding to join Chelsea too and you have part of the shambles this summer has been. Our club don’t seem to have a clue who they are actually interested in.
If Caicedo was the man why were we not bidding for him as soon as the summer transfer window opened? No planning no thought. Just a shambles.

We didn't know Saudi were going to come in for Fabinho and Henderson when the transfer window opened.

Look, I support constructive criticism and there is a lot of material to criticise about the club, but this is where I can't stand wrist slitters. I'm sure you've read what happened with Lavia and Caicedo many times. It's been mentioned twice on this, your own thread.
Criticise all you want, but at least stick to facts. Is that too much to ask?

What shambles FFS? We knew from the start that Caicedo was probably off to Chelsea as we had spoken to Brighton, so we had written him off, but nearly 3 months down the line Chelsea had not wrapped up the deal, so we went back in and tried to get him. Didn't work but you want us to play with the big boys and get big players yet still moan and castigate the club when they try to do that?
Lavia also had history with Chelsea as Chelsea tried to buy him from Southampton last summer, immediately after they signed him from City.

It is too much to ask. Some on here, like the OP, aren’t happy unless they’re miserable by the looks of it. A personal favourite being Ttliv moaning literally minutes after we’d just won either the super cup or WCC on pens.
Funniest thing is some of these idiots didn’t moan this much when we hadn’t won the league for 30 years. I could understand it if we were like Tottenham and had won fook all.

"Trying to sign players" A comment straight out of the pro-FSG manual.
What this consists of is making an enquiry and baulking at the asking price or offering a disgraceful lowball amount which is rejected out of hand.
Meanwhile, the likes of Chelsea and City stop faffing, pay the asking price, and get the job done. 👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we have to ask ourselves why players are choosing Chelsea over us. They're not in Europe and a mess roght now. Might it be because they value the players highly and offer them contracts that show that high value?

We've got £100m to spend on a quality CB and CM and that's your solution? Just so you get the satisfaction of seeing us save money.
Next you'll be telling me that Tyler Morton can do a job in Midfield for us as well. 😂😂😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No that's not my solution. You've completely made that up. My solution is to buy two players, which is the same as the club's solution who have been and still are trying to buy the two players. However if we can't get the right standard of player in, in an emergency, that's the solution. We'd have to be very unlucky for that to happen however.

London. We offered Caicedo more than Chelsea. We also met his asking price before Chelsea.

We spent three weeks haggling with Southampton over 5 million for Lavia, then jumped in with a ‘bid’ for a player who never showed any inclination to join us. Add to that Lavia deciding to join Chelsea too and you have part of the shambles this summer has been. Our club don’t seem to have a clue who they are actually interested in.
If Caicedo was the man why were we not bidding for him as soon as the summer transfer window opened? No planning no thought. Just a shambles.

We didn't know Saudi were going to come in for Fabinho and Henderson when the transfer window opened.

Look, I support constructive criticism and there is a lot of material to criticise about the club, but this is where I can't stand wrist slitters. I'm sure you've read what happened with Lavia and Caicedo many times. It's been mentioned twice on this, your own thread.
Criticise all you want, but at least stick to facts. Is that too much to ask?

What shambles FFS? We knew from the start that Caicedo was probably off to Chelsea as we had spoken to Brighton, so we had written him off, but nearly 3 months down the line Chelsea had not wrapped up the deal, so we went back in and tried to get him. Didn't work but you want us to play with the big boys and get big players yet still moan and castigate the club when they try to do that?
Lavia also had history with Chelsea as Chelsea tried to buy him from Southampton last summer, immediately after they signed him from City.

It is too much to ask. Some on here, like the OP, aren’t happy unless they’re miserable by the looks of it. A personal favourite being Ttliv moaning literally minutes after we’d just won either the super cup or WCC on pens.
Funniest thing is some of these idiots didn’t moan this much when we hadn’t won the league for 30 years. I could understand it if we were like Tottenham and had won fook all.
