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
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
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.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
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 like him
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
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.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
And what would they be? A winger a striker and a 10?

And if we get relegated we get relegated. The world will still turn. Or if it stops, it won't be because of #lufc
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
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.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
Or they could set up a movie-set saloon fight with balsawood chairs for when the fans start arguing with each other.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
That would actually be a very good idea. They could get VR versions of the board and the recruitment team for fans to take turns shouting at them. Season tkt holders will be able to throw actual custard pies at the real board in the stocks

The first week of the transfer window was the worst. The 2nd week? That was the worst too. The 3rd week I didn't enjoy at all. After that it went into a bit of a decline. #HHGTTG

The league needs to be squeezed to give us the best chance of survival. The closer the gap between top and bottom the better. The closer the gap between the middle and the bottom the even better

DCL for LN during the 2nd half. Okafor and possible Harrison on too. Bijol could come on in CM #lufc

This is vindicating everyone who says we need that touch of class up top. LN is doing his job well up front. His 1st touch has proven good. His second not so. #lufc

I wouldn't want anyone to think I don't like him. He's great fun and I wish we could've seen more of him last year.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
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.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
Who is the joy for though?
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
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.

Can you think of anything he has done right, and bring yourself to say it? And I don't mean just "get us promoted" Anything he said that turned out to be true?
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
So anything he says or does must be wrong, merely because it was he who said or did it? I would suggest you put that in your bio so that all can know what light in which to view your opinions on him.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
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.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
Perhaps I am. It seems to me his first action is more likely to be instinctive. No one likes to be stood on their own while their teammates are all celebrating with the real hero.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
He's just played a regulation pass for the 3rd goal in an easy win. Not a time for showing off.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
Sorry no, Largie. Would have thought he would want to ingratiate himself with the goal scorer and his new teammates at the earliest opportunity, but his first reaction is to turn away towards the crowd on his side.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
The club can't win now. Some will look at whoever comes in and cf to Paixao and be disappointed. Buonanotte won't play much at CFC so he will be better than what we get.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
They clearly don't think that, as their actions would indicate, as would Farke's words.
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
He has a trademark assist celebration does he?
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm sure if they all got together they could coax a little juice to flow
Rich Priestley (@durnoido.bsky.social) reply parent
I notice when the ball goes in his first reaction is to turn to the crowd on his side, not towards his teammates in the middle.
