And Cutrone's remark ?This isn’t true. Max asked to go out on loan and Nuno wouldn’t let him.

He's turned out to be a great young reporter. Learning his trade and getting better as time goes by.Finally - kudos to Liam Keen. Been generally on the money this summer. Stuck his neck out on the Traore deal and proven right.
I was talking specifically about Max. People have more than once on here said that Nuno didn’t take to him - couldn’t be more wrong.And Cutrone's remark ?
Nuno randomly bombed him midway through the yearI was talking specifically about Max. People have more than once on here said that Nuno didn’t take to him - couldn’t be more wrong.
Cutrone’s remark was emotional and probably should have been kept to himself.
Still hard to understand the odd poster complaining that we didn't do our business earlier. Frustrating that there is so much naivety about the transfer window. We couldn't do it earlier, that's the way the transfer window works. We could have concluded our business a good few weeks ago, but if we had we would have had to sign players other than Nunes, Guedes, Kalajdzic and Traore. You have to wait for players to be available, clubs to be ready to sell, players to understand their options and fees to be negotiated under brinkmanship as the clock ticks on.
Wouldn't disagree there's been a change of direction, but even with money and willingness to spend, buying players in transfer windows takes time and patience and all the factors I mentioned earlier. You can't just buy every player you want for the price you're will to pay straight away.I disagree. Even some relatively well connected journalists commented that something changed at the club about a month ago. Prior to that we wouldn’t sign quality players without someone of similar value leaving first. After that change in strategy, Mendes was routinely present and we ticked off a couple of major signings without a sniff of a major outgoing. As further evidence, until this summer, we hadn’t spent net money on transfers since our first year in the PL, and in the Ask Wolves videos, the mantra was on self sufficiency.
I’m not complaining about the change, but had that change happened at the start of the window, then I’m confident at least of the good business would have been done earlier.
With the close of the transfer window then the most important thing to establish now is who won the battle of the ITKs?
What makes you think there’s no loan fee for Coady?Only criticism is some of the paltry fees we have attracted in some cases. Boly £2mish, Coady, a current England international, £12m potentially and only an option on Everton to buy and no loan fee!

I wonder if the transfer kitty chest is now empty ? I doubt we will have much/if anything left come January
I believe him. If only for the simple fact that, whether one admits it or not, everyone has favourites.And Cutrone's remark ?
