I can guarantee you panicked last season about them signing Joelinton.
Not to mention football overlord Andy Carroll. And the year before that, the brilliant Japanese forward Yosu.. something.

It's either Eduardo or a flair striker from Europe I think we'll get the lad who was with McAllister too.
Eduardo is 37 now and has never been the same since that horror leg break.
Not so sure.
Hendrick looks like a squad player.
If Wilson & Fraser start, they’ll have an advantage of knowing each other’s games inside out. What they will provide is goals where Big Joe Linton and Big Andy Carroll failed. They’ll need to bed in their Left Back and Left Wing Back which won’t be quite so difficult if they keep Ritchie and player Fraser ahead of him.

He's a bigger risk than imho Watkins and for higher fee likley also.
Celtic, big club...... But playing with best players and getting best service in a league of many league 1 standard defences, is not as hard as Brentford, who whilst good were not best in league and standard of opposition weekly is much higher.
I really think Edouard has huge PL flop potential and even 30 million is a big gamble.... Maybe he won't flop, but his job will be 10x harder than it is against Kilmarnock and his scoring success must be measured against how shit the opposition he faces weekly.
For the £45m quoted as Celtic’s price, he looks a better prospect than £40m Joe Linton.
However, I’m not sure that we’re a club who should be spending more than £25m on any player so I think we’re out of the running with this (we’d have held back Duffy if we were seriously after him - I think the price has put us off). Leicester bound I would imagine.
I’ve also given up on Watkins as I think Villa and Spurs are ahead of us and will pay more.
Who will we sign? Is the answer blowing in the Wind or will be saying a collective oh-Dia as a cheap Ligue 1 punt comes our way.
He was a turkey last season. We will see.

Great in their promotion season, looked gash and out of his depth last season.
Maxi Gomez from Valencia is for sale and would be the dream for me (not sure it that's possible tho!) it aint Teemu Pukki
Get him in Uncle Tone.
The guy was playing for England a year or so ago and was chased by Chelsea. A bargain at £20m IMHO

You made the dumb comment we wasted time on Nunez (who only 1 day before his transfer said he wanted Benfica) and how our recruitment team got it wrong wasting time.... and now you keep banging on about Wilson and keep saying we should be in for him, when Wilson has said he wants to go to Newcastle and thus why Villa have pulled out.
So our recruitment team wasted time in pursuing Nunez who only stated Benfica a day or two before he moved, yet even As Wilson says he wants Newcastle we should still be pursuing him and are missing a trick for not doing so.
If you don't see you're own obvious contradictions you're either a WUM or total bellend.
I suspect you are making a very incorrect assumption on the timing of our club’s knowledge of Nunez preference for Benfica. The agent was public on it weeks before we pulled out. That said I admit I like seeing the NSC mafia make themselves look idiotic.

What is the NSC mafia?
Someone who has a different opinion?
Doesnt state their own baseless assumptions as facts?
Hasn't shit the bed on NSC due lack of transfer business?
