    Fuel to the fire from a very anti board website...

    I personally am not anti board, I just wish they would just stop doing stupid things and leaving signings to the last minute.

    I bet every prem team has been offered him. Strange that the story rolls out today with everyone mad about the DM not being signed.

    Preston,

    & then not making the late minute signings.

    The "There wasn't enough time" excuse does my head in. If they started a week earlier then there would be enough time.

    I read somewhere the deal was pulled by Anderlecht because it left them with no time to find a replacement - which is highly likely if only 2 hours are left in the window ;lol

    It still points to trying to squeeze it all into the last day

    I was listening to a football agent on the radio this afternoon who said it normally takes 4-6 weeks of negotiations to complete a transfer and that the January window doesn't allow enough time. It didn't make it clear which player he was talking about but he said that it's not as simple as club A bidding for a player from club B and that's it. Especially in January most clubs will only complete a deal if they have a replacement in line which will come to fruition which is why the Sanchez affair etc took so long.
    For all we know we may have had bids in since Jan 1 but couldn't finish the deals off.

    Baracks,

    I heard they couldn't get Mitrovic back from Newcastle because they couldn't raise the funds by selling one of their players.

    bbb,

    We heard the same report, unless it was fake news! ;wink

    I know it can take 4 weeks at least of you are buying an Atletico Bilbao player because you have to be a Basque to play for them.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Ahem. Athletic Bilbao.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer

    It seems quite incredible that Leicester wouldn't let us have Slimani because of Karen Brady.
    What on earth does she actually do that is positive for this club ? All she seems to do is upset everyone.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Because she is part of the board with there ego

    Clappers on another thread has said it's time for a change at the top as the 2 Davids can't deliver on what they may genuinely like as they haven't got the funds to bankroll it.

    I have no doubt that their business intentions are good regarding the club as a whole. Lets face it, it is their business after all and no one wants their own business to go foul.
    If they haven't got the bunce to back up their targets and claims then I'd like to see them keep quiet about pretty much everything and get on with the job in hand.
    If that isn't achievable or they can't keep out of the spotlight for one min then the writing is on the wall and should allow someone to take the club on who will.

    There's plenty of other clubs owners who get on with it without the need of the celebrity of being a football club owner.

    I am looking forward to seeing what the boy Hugill can do and I am sure he will be giving it his all in these coming games as he has it all to prove.

    Baroness Karren Brady, the modern face of the House of Lords and the best example of the justification for its abolition.

    Wow I assuming a nice lunch with a bottle of red contributes to that picture.
