We were communicating using Tapestry the last time we signed a player.
Ah yes, but it was a Bayeux's market back then.

The thing is. Utd Chelsea and Arsenal are all on an upward trajectory at the moment and we're not. People laughed when I said 'don't write Utd off for a top 4 place' just a few weeks back as if it was a ridiculous thing to say, but stuff changes in the blink of an eye with a possible 6 point swing every week.
Sometimes I wonder if the club's ultimate aim is to cease inward transfers altogether, except for extraordinary circumstances, and rely solely upon academy prospects. They're certainly giving that impression.This is where there is going to be a domino effect on last summer. Last summer, we needed 2 CMs, a LB and a backup striker. Now this summer, we can add RB to that list, and potentially CB & AM with the Toby & Eriksen contract issues. Does anyone really think we're going to replace/add 6 first team players?
For those who don't know, I live in Edinburgh and have a Season Ticket at Hibs. My pal is ITK at Hibs.
Marc Pugh was going to sign for Hibs on loan up until yesterday when at the last minute Hull have come in. They hadn't shown any interest whatsover before then
Pugh is a winger as is Jarrod Bowen and it's led me to wonder if their last minute intervention had anything to do with Bowen leaving?
Placing all your eggs in a summer basket, when all selling teams will be aware we desperately need signings, is a very risky/stupid strategy for someone supposed to be good at business. Would be very surprised if it didn't end in tears.
3 quality signings should be enough to compete with them better next seasonWe are nine behind the leaders though
We already have 3 right backs so dont be silly.Need more than a few. Say we got Werner, great, but we still have trippier giving away goals like nothing. LB, RB, CM, ST are areas we need to improve on
Ali Z on Carroll
We are not getting Carroll, not from what I hear, will ask again but as of yesterday afternoon, nothing was imminent.

We're 3rd in the table having made no signings. We clearly dont need wholesale changes.
Absoluely, spot on. Wonder what basket we were using when we didn’t bother buying nanyone last summer and so far this January. It’s a bizarre way to run a football club
Jesus. Are ITKs taking this semi-seriously? I was expecting lols and wtfs. I feel sick.Ali Z on Carroll

We don’t have any eggs let alone a basket. We’ll purchase both of these items only if we sell a few players in the summer. Much like last summer everything we do is entirely based on sales.
If we sell Eriksen and Toby I can see us buying a fair few players, much like the Bale summer. If not then I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t buy anyone again in the summer.
