Can't compete with Fulham.....sums up FOSUN'S ownership nowadays. I look forward to the day they sell up.
we he said he didn’t, so he’s lying?!I dont think he would have wanted both to leave.
Summed up perfectly.....Would have been nice to get a centre forward in, but with the financial situation I get why we haven’t. No point playing silly buggers with Chelsea or the Brazilian lad’s agent. The current group will get us through to the summer and then we can have a look at the market.
Apart from Broja and Ekitike who we looked at I don’t think there’s a striker moved this window who we “should have been all over” as people like to say.
Fairly relaxed about the whole thing.
Congratulations Mr Shi and Mr Hobbs.
It’s a **** up of a window, no doubt about that. GON was obviously given assurances that we’d get someone in when we let Sasa go. It was a gamble that has not paid off. Hopefully we can steer clear of fatigue and injuries from playing the same players for 90 minutes every game.
we he said he didn’t, so he’s lying?!
If Borja, Ekitike etc chose other destinations I am fine with that. I want players that want to play for us. That doesn't mean Wolves fans but buy in to the club.
Fulham have to start Broja in 10 league games to get this loan to be a free.From The Athletic:
“As part of the deal, Fulham will pay Chelsea a loan fee of up to £4million, however, that could potentially drop to zero after a certain number of appearances.”
Excellent business by Fulham.
£4m as worst case scenario. £0 at best.
On the basis he is highly likely to play, as he would here, it will be closer to £0.
If we had Broja he would be on as a sub in every game at least. If one of Hwang, Neto, Cunha got injured/lost form, high probability he starts every game.
So we would’ve ended up not paying much for him either.
we can’t have it both ways.It isn’t lying in fairness if he’d not wanted both to leave.
Those questions are so loaded to catch the manager out, he says he would have kept them it is then phrased or twisted to say he is at odds with the owners, he also then has it twisted his left over options aren’t good enough, another bad thing for morale.
I felt for him being asked that, it is a loaded question from a loaded shotgun in front of the world media.
Guy was in a lose lose situation, so sometimes a diplomatic answer while not their true feelings are said. The interviews have to be the worst part of the job with journalists judged on YouTube views and clicks online.

Who would you have dropped out of Cunha, Hwang and Neto?
as i said earlier on, im more worried about how bad the finances are.“I don’t know what people expected”… just to get a striker in to replace the ones we let go? Like our manager has been saying since mid December? Nobody is clamouring for a big money signing, just some cover? And nobody is panicking either. It’s not a disaster, just disappointing.

Disappointment should not lead to knee jerk reactions and calls for CEO/Fosun to go though imo. It happens. We are reasonably comfortable this season so let’s be together as a collective, show solidarity and support and see how this plays out come summer.“I don’t know what people expected”… just to get a striker in to replace the ones we let go?

We now cant compete with Fulham. Says it all really. I hope the ticket prices reflect the clubs ambition this coming summer but I highly doubt it somehow. FFP is an issue but when we no longer have this excuse this summer I can see other excuses for another thin squad and lack of investment.
Probably need a quick and powerful CB more!!!The spending overall is massively down. We scored three yesterday so a number 9 is important but not the end if the world
