I think we have enough players in the position Simons wants to play the only thing we don’t know is he might be better than what we have. Let’s hope Garnacho works out but my expectations aren’t too high.

Who is to say that Spurs after being burnt all summer didn't offer Simons crazy money - we have had a good window. We don't actually need Simons who's preference is to play in the same postion Palmer, Estêvão and to a lesser extent Pedro want to play. Let moan when it's worth moaning about.

Being tight fisted isn’t the way to go about it

Suprised the Pedro deal went through so fast

Dunno

Its like the SD’s get a bonus if they can snag a target for under market value

Fully agree Si. My frustration is about our potential reputation loss and how that affects future business. It’s not the usual fan obsession with getting a particular player over all others. The Spurs thing just adds insult to injury.

Doesn’t sit well with me at all, making him wait to not even bid. And allowing spurs to hijack us. There’s a food chain and it’s being well and truly broken. Let’s wait and see we might pull something crazy out that will make us all forget. Fingers crossed

Thanks Simon. The Xavi situation is incredibly frustrating as you say, near 2 months of “waiting on Chelsea to make their first official offer” and Xavi rejecting all these top clubs for us, only to just freeze after Nkunku leaves? Then pivot to Fermin who now doesn’t want to leave, it’s just a classic act of the SDs getting distracted by another shiny toy and then getting neither. Wouldn’t surprise me if they go for Rodrigo Mora because he’s 18 and not 22.
