Going to be more sobbing meltdowns and breathtaking denials over the summer if we are in for the same players
If we are both linked and we do sign a player they'll be like Leeds fans last summer. We didn't want him, we've got better already/lined up etc etc

I'd be disappointed if we were in for the same players given the state of their recruitment.
This.
It was pretty clear last summer that they were just going for players on the back pages or well known in the league and it ended up costing them a fortune for players that didn't fit.
I've more faith in or recruitment team to bring a few quality players in who Howes nephew has barely heard of.

Yeah, good point but we are bound to be targeting one or two same players and I think their new CEO will change tac
Didn’t he say stay humble?

Thats the one, cheers.
We need to do a bluff and get Smithy and James Copley to write an article stating that we're weighing up a record bid of £70m for Nicholas Jackson or Liam Delap

The daft bastards aren't bright enough to be in for the same players as us, surely.
Exactly!

There is absolutely no way we were ever going to pay £55m for the likes of Wissa and or Elanga
It could happen because in all seriousness, who would actually want to go there ?

I've a feeling that we'll be bringing in players the mags (and most of us) won't even have on the radar. A step up (if possible) from the signings of last summer and I also think we may very well break our record fee again if the right player is available/buys into the Projekt.
Who we sell/release/loan out will be fascinating too as the need for a squad that can be rotated but remain effective and capable will increase IF we want to be able to have a serious crack at Europe, reinforce the team adequately and to maintain our PL position.
Two English teams this season have already shown that both European cups are readily winnable but we must ensure any progress that way isn't impinging on PL status.
The visitors imho will continue to be targeting yet more expensive signings, as is their way, to reinforce their 'big klerb' schtik. It's always been like that since Sky invented fitba. The headlines is more important to them than anything else. Sometimes it works, often it doesn't. But they seem incapable of turn from that route and the expectations of the orcs massively influences this. It's a huge part of their Jawdee Nashun ideology.
Their fans base was taking the piss out of most of the signings we made, "forainers nee wans hurd of man" "French reejects", "aul cum from shite leagues" "nee one elss wanted tham" et al.
I'd wager they'd wish they had some of our so called "rejects" in their squad now that they've been utterly humbled!
