Would be a shame, signing Rooney is ace, but we need something now to get us through till January, I'm hoping we haven't put all our eggs in the Rooney basket and missed out on what we needed as a result. Cocu knows what he wants and what he needs so hopefully business will still be done today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually every single signing we've made recently we haven't found out about until it's about to happen. If the powers that be have done anything, it's surely earned enough faith for one more day.

Sparkle Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Only sign someone who is better than what we have and if so only for what we can genuinely afford because there are serious sums of money being handed over for some very average players currently within the wider window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrowram Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It is disappointing that we are still trying to sign two players on transfer deadline day. Ryan Kent is going to Leeds. the West Ham winger is going to West Brom, Chelsea have done us no favours and we have Lawrence . Loon, and Anya as wingers.

Ryan Kent would have been a cracking signing, quite jealous he is going to Leeds. If we are looking to buy players whose value could double then Kent would have been an astute signing.

Liverpool have had three wingers who weren't going to make the first team squad-Ojo-gone to Rangers, Kent-transferred to Leeds ,and Wilson -Bournemouth on loan, and we have waited until today not to sign any of them!

It's inevitable to take it down to the wire in modern football when you're after Premier League players and everything depends on those other clubs and who's coming in for them. It's a day to trust in the club. Am expecting a couple of people in. We'll know soon enough, but I'm confident we're working efficiently and quietly behind the scenes. There'll probably be a surprise - in a good way. Good time to be a Ram! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrowram Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It isn't the way to build a squad for a fifty plus game season. We have already missed the Wolves winger who has gone to Fulham and Wilson. Leeds wanted two wingers and have succeeded in making two quality signings. We have Loon and Anya who carry negligible threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfcreece1601 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I think its worrying that we haven't had any strong links in the past few days , although we might be keeping a big player quiet like we did with Rooney so fingers crossed , come on mel please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Anyone else got a really bad feeling that we might end the day with nothing? I don't know why. Just a feeling I've got. Everyone we are being linked with is either going somewhere else (Murphy, Diangana) or won't be allowed to leave by their parent clubs (Ibe, Locadia) FWIW. Looking at our side. I think if we can only bring one in today then it had to be a winger. Going to January with Jozefzoon and Bennett as your options there is not good. For me a winger is a priority. Then a keeper. Just seen that we won't sign a keeper. Letting your best keeper leave and not signing a replacement is a bit daft. Don't get me wrong. Going into a season with Roos (who's barely proven at this level), Mitchell and Ravas who aren't proven at all is a bit of a risk to me. Then an attacking midfielder. I'd like one and do think we need one. But we've got Holmes coming back, plus I actually think Marriott could play there too. Not to mention Wazza will be here in January.
