If there is so much as a gnat's whisker in the rumour it would be a signing made for more than just needs of the squad - It's be a potential profit spinner. |  |

When did you go full on Blue Badger? |  |

I imagined Edwards and harper to be those types but hasn't really worked so far |  | |  |

I’m not against Matete signing but I don’t get where he fits in with the numbers we already have, so I don’t see the point in getting him with no squad planning. |  |

It would be an "opportunity cost" signing rather than a "squad planning" one, I think. You buy him because if you don't buy him you watch him toddle off to the Championship club on a free in the Summer then reappear at Leciester for £25m a year later... [Post edited 31 Jan 2022 14:58]

You don't need them all to do so, if a couple do then it is mad |  |

....whereas we sign him, watch him get injured time and again, play 17 matches over 3 years. Leave on a free, sign for Posh - play 17 games in half a season - score 8 goals and leave for Leicester for £35m. |  |

Matete really is the kind of signing we should be making on 15:04 - Jan 31 with 1642 views | BonneNIL | He's a bang-average third-division player. Fraser is a better player by miles just never used here. We are going nowhere until we aspire to be better, and there is again going to be a lot of egg on faces in a year's time when we are still 11th and everyone talked up the like of Matete like they did Harper. Absolutely laughable, just clappy happy nonsense. |  |

I think Edmundson is the big one. Proper Webster vibes there for me, albeit made a couple of sloppy errors in recent games. |  | |  |

The standard of blubbing on this board has really gone downhill since the aftermath of Cook's sacking so good to see such a valiant effort. |  |

You do realise you effectively say nothing with posts like these. Offer the alternative way you think things should be going instead of pissing all over the toilet seat with blubs. |  |
