Stupid, blinkered viewThey‘re our biggest problem, did you not watch us last year?

You’re doing it just to anger me nowSo yesterday I read that we rejected an offer for Maguire and today I’m reading that we are rejecting enquiries for McTominay. This is why we struggle to raise any money in the market and are terrible sellers. McTominay will be sold, eventually, for £5m instead of the £25m we could have conned Newcastle for this summer. City sell players who are far better than Scott in Jesus and Ake and then go and buy even better ones. We are reluctant to part with anyone who is better than a Preston North End level.
McTominay could have probably been sold and Bissouma, or someone else, could have probably been bought with the same fee.
Tell us how you really feelStupid, blinkered view
Geebs soon you’ll be the last person left in the world banging on about ‘Bissouma’s case’, if you’re not already!You’re doing it just to anger me now
Yep. I wonder what exactly is pivotal about McTominay in a squad with Fred, VdB, Bruno, De Jong and supposedly Eriksen in it? We should have sold him now and used the funds for an RB or an actual DM.So yesterday I read that we rejected an offer for Maguire and today I’m reading that we are rejecting enquiries for McTominay.

I'm talking about the squad and the idea of moving them on. Ideally we buy new players and they're pushed to squad roles. We're not signing enough players this summer to replace the availability they've offered in the last three or four years.They‘re our biggest problem, did you not watch us last year?

Agree. The time between the briefing of initial £56m outlay for FDJ and the tweet from Hirst might have been short, but what a ride it was.views Mctominay as integral and does not want to sell him? Is he OK?
I no longer stand with this manager. We had a good run

Homegrown quotas?Yep. I wonder what exactly is pivotal about McTominay in a squad with Fred, VdB, Bruno, De Jong and supposedly Eriksen in it? We should have sold him now and used the funds for an RB or an actual DM.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I dont think some people realise how good of a player he is.People just want to complain even when they are wrong on the facts. It’s also wrong to say have impressed at Barca
Hopefully means we've gotten offers for Telles.Tweet

Why so late to the party ? Get him if you need him, simple as that.Tweet

Either we have a solid offer for Telles or Shaw was REALLY shit in training.Why so late to the party ? Get him if you need him, simple as that.
If we have it'll be from either Pritt Stick or Findus.Hopefully means we've gotten offers for Telles.
Bit harsh on Shaw, but I get the flow of squad needing to change, starting from now.Either we have a solid offer for Telles or Shaw was REALLY shit in training.

yep, because you work at the club you know we only negotiate with one at a time...Oh thank goodness that we are fully focused on one player! It would be far too difficult for a club to negotiate with more than one player at a time!
I'm not particularly impressed with the rest of our seeming transfer targets or the prices being suggested, but I'm going to praise the Board for this one. €65m+addons is a brilliant price for a player of FDJ's ability and I think he will have a huge impact on our midfield.Tweet

FDJ almost done - seemingly Malacia potentially over the line too. Eriksen likely to sign too.@UnitedSofa @golden_blunder. time to be patient till the end of the window ? New transfer team , new structure new strategy. You guys were very sure what the club was doing and called everyone spoilt, impatient, drama queens etc whoever didn’t agree.
Well - one major difference. Liverpool were willing to let him leave as they had a replacement already. Barcelona can't sign anyone - needless to say, that complicates things.Why does it have to be a premier league club ?
Bayern signing Mane seemed pretty quick.
Don’t hold your breath on that fella. They’ll find a way to spin it. “Not in time for preseason” etcFDJ almost done - seemingly Malacia potentially over the line too. Eriksen likely to sign too.
Plus in talks with Antony.
Give it a few weeks and I think we're due our apology eh @golden_blunder ?
I just spit my coffee out laughingThis is what one training session with Shaw does to you.
I can understand why we wouldn't want to sell McTominay right now. He's probably the only player we have that can kinda play a holding midfield role. He can't play it well but his defensive positioning is decent which we can't really say for any of our other midfielders (not counting FDJ). Maybe Garner's positioning is good too? I don't really know, from what I saw of him last season (only a couple matches and some highlights) he looks like he plays much more advanced than when he first joined Forest.So yesterday I read that we rejected an offer for Maguire and today I’m reading that we are rejecting enquiries for McTominay.

Made me chuckle . Well doneThis is what one training session with Shaw does to you.
The fact that he ‘can’t play it well’ is reason enough to sell him. This is a transfer window, if our holding midfielder can’t do the job well enough we are not stuck with him. We have the opportunity to sell and sign.I can understand why we wouldn't want to sell McTominay right now. He's probably the only player we have that can kinda play a holding midfield role.

I saw Douglas Luiz of Villa has only 1 year left on his contract and Boubacar Kamara was basically brought in to replace him. I really like Luiz tbh, I'd take him at Utd for sure and he'd probably be cheap. Outside of that I don't think there are many good dms available atmThe fact that he ‘can’t play it well’ is reason enough to sell him.

I get it if he had no value, and we had to spend to improve, but he is a player who can be sold and replaced with someone who CAN do the job well with the proceeds. Unless of course it is Declan Rice next summer and nothing else, which I suspect may be our long term vision.
