Why weren't we in for him? What do the 6 different recruitment managers even DO?

His middle name is Bernard. WHY WEREN'T WE IN FOR HIM??!??

 

[GT49er]

It's unacceptable how far behind we are. Why, some team even went and bought a striker from a top Belgian club back in January FFS!

I'd like to see a list of the 2021 summer signings which we complained we weren't in for, and how they actually did.

We know we were in for Nunez, and he seemed to do alright. But the ones we weren't in for?

There was Eduoard, played 31, goals 6. Afam Armstrong, played 28, goals 2. Who else comes to mind?

Villa not after Bissouma now then ?

Guessing not but equally surely his advisors can’t justify a move to them on the basis of ambition?! Unless he really wants to play for the world’s best pub player and alongside Countinho.

I'd completely forgotten about Edouard, he seemed to fall of the face of the earth

Blackburn Rovers have triggered the one-year option in Ben Brereton Diaz's contract.
The Chilean was out of contract this summer and will now see his deal extended by a further year. There has been widespread interest in the forward after he scored 22 goals in the Championship this season.

Will we back in for this fella, I think he is not even on our radar anymore.

If Villa signing Kamara means it’s one less club trying to take Biss then they’re welcome to him..

Well, I am not surprised considering Croydon is on the "edge" of civilisation.

What about that Paraguayan wonderkid?!!

By ambition they generally mean weekly wage …

I’m sceptical about this guy. Poor scoring record before this season. Last time I looked something like 11 of his 22 goals were against teams who finished in the bottom 5/6 of the Championship. & when the leagues top scorer is on over 40, 22 goals in 46 games isn’t that impressive.

Seems like Villa are interested in Kalvin Phillips now too.

Indeed.

Nicholas Gonzalez was the other European name we apparently couldn't convince to come last summe, although 8 goals in 39 games wasn't the best return for Fiorentina.
