My favourite bit about this is that if the move doesn’t happen, Gino has indirectly confirmed that he agrees our GK’s are crap - he’s just left it this late to make his move. ‘Best negotiator in world football’ is coming ‘alive’ - he just set his alarm for 9pm rather than 9am. I suspect this is just Gino posturing and giving the illusion of effort.
Not sure why so many people are losing their **** over us not signing this 3rd choice keeper. I'm sure Gino will have a far better option already buttoned up.
Exactly, Bachmann can now drop into the u23’s for the rest of the season, paving the way for Henderson.
That’s exactly what I was thinking, it literally makes no sense however you slice it. It’s either just occurred to him now so he’s a moron, or he’s known all along but has left it to the very last minute so he’s a moron.
He's not going anywhere but if he does, it'll be straight to Newcastle rather than us. Despite having all the money in the world, they're reduced to stealing from direct rivals and trying to gazump anyone that hasn't quite a deal over the line.
Can see it now… ‘United finally relented on their desire to keep Henderson and contacted Watford to set a 6 month loan up. But the failure to move Ken Sema, Danny Rose or Dan Gosling out means the Watford owner wouldn’t justify using another squad place and has full faith in their existing goalkeepers regardless.’
This is the real, baffling, soaring arrogance from the top of the club, isn't it. Essentially taking the piss and pretending not to be aware of the situation as they fiddle. Contemptuous.
Confusing times for me on Twitter. Mr Ucko is fully onboard with needing a new keeper, having a mild pop at the owners, but he’s just been taken out off the ball by a Foster activist! A bone crunching brute of a tweet. Foster is “fantastic” apparently.
Sometimes when I'm playing Football Manager for hours on end and I'm bored out of my mind, I decide to piss around and bid for players and then pull out at the last minute and piss off a load of virtual players and managers, I feel Gino is a bit like that
Very busy Window for Bournemouth. Four in and Todd Cantwell to sign later. The board expect promotion or Parker is out. They have backed him, though he is not easy to work with. We have signed ? ? ? Hold on, a new cleaner in the office at Vicarage Road started today. Duxbury to confirm the terms of their contract soon.
I know, I’m fully aware United blocking any deal is down to wanting a decent back up for De Gea rather than being alarmed by Watford’s lack of keeper development. Probably wasn’t clear from by post. Just making a general point about how many players we sign with potential who don’t kick on.
But Bachmann never really had much potential. We signed him as free backup goalie. There was just a brief moment when he looked like he might exceed that expectation.
Duxbury told the new cleaner he plans to turn her into a champions league cleaner and sell her to PSG within 2 years. He was last heard howling with rage from his office after being told by our lawyers that you cant make someone on minimum wage sign a relegation clause.
In the Championship dues that goal get ruled out I wonder as the ref has to give a decision? He wasn’t very good at trying to save those penalties.
