Basically you are saying the reason they didn't achieve all their stated aims in this window is because they are American. Like the owners of Liverpool, Arsenal and half the Premier League

You intimated that their behaviour in this transfer window indicated that they are not fully cognisant of the financial consequences of relegation. That's ludicrous

They weren't aware we could get relegated and they thought there was a salary cap. Yeah right. And they were totally unaware of the consequences of relegation, because they hadn't even bothered to model it. Uh. Huh.

I live where public ownership of firearms is not a thing. But I am aware that it is in the US, and will modify my behaviour if I go there. Because I'm not an idiot. They know what relegation is and they know what the market is like. I mean, honestly.

I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but that would spread our human resources very thin. We can't register that many players. So we would need to do three deals in and one or two out, in one day. On top of getting Meslier and Gyabi out. That's not going to happen. 1 max.

We were promised effort, and we have no reason to suggest that they aren't trying. All of the signings so far appear to be at least acceptable and one or two look very good. We can't force good players to join a relegation battle. If we hold our own there is always January.

Agree. Used to be a positivity influence there. Before each ssn, DM says he is going to be zen about it, then comes over all of aTwitter. Like those mgrs who say they don't talk about refs and then rant about refs, he said its no time to sack Farke but then said why we should. Hard to listen to.

I do have an agenda. Not against Largie tho. It's the Farke Outers who are wanting to overblow Largie to justify their hatred of Farke. I hope he does well, and the club have not given them an option so think he could come back. We can't afford players now who don't contribute enough defensively.

He was here all last season. He is flashy and Farke has all but said outright that he doesn't work hard enough off the ball, which is what we are be mostly doin' this year. Something that could not be levelled at either Summerville or Raphina, for example. His flash is therefore misplaced here.
