Tannochsidebear 2,413 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I know its early in the silly season, and the window isnt even open yet but I have been entirely underwhelmed with the names being linked, and indeed signings made as I dont see any of them being first team players or any better squad players than we already have. Jones, Hastie, Stewart (seems to be happening but hope it hits a snag), are not going to win us the title. Same for guys like this latest Liverpool kid who cant set up or score goals despite looking good in the tricks department, no thanks. I trust the management team to get us to where we need to be by the time we play our absolutely vital Euro qualifiers in about 7 weeks time, I just wish all these guys we keep getting linked with would get the juices flowing a bit better. I see in this thread we are linked with Andre Gray. Another inconsistent sort who would make Morelos look like Messi. Gray, on top form, is a good striker. However he rarely hits top form, seems to be often injured, and is reportedly on a wage that has completely spoiled his hunger and desire. I desperately hope we dont waste a huge chunk of our wage budget on an imposter of this scale. I really dont want us even looking in the over-rated, over-priced English market. We can get much better value in other markets with good contacts and scouting, which has improved at the club enormously in the last year or so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I haven't seen much of Gray but he looked different class when he scored that hat trick against us for Burnley in a preseason friendly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you allowed to say, or is it a Gray area? in all seriousness, I don’t understand how that one could possibly happen. Buzzing to see what happens but I expect a couple of quiet weeks before we start to see players signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said all along that I think Gray is a stretch, but happy we are shopping in that area I still believe that the marquee signing will happen but only my thoughts Ojo is done or as close to it & I think Edmundson will come also An older CB will follow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,677 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 We need a marquee signing. It would put down marker to the yahoos who will go backwards with TLB in charge 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe SG’s job just got a lot easier today following their appointment of Lennon. I’m genuinely surprised. I really did expect them to go for a big name. I was dreading them getting someone like Rafa Benitez 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
