We're probably haggling over 10p on his wages

It's a bit of a joke isn't it. And Soares definitely was at the training ground. That's how far that one got. All 5 or any of the 5 would massively improve us. I dread to think how frustrated the manager is. Yup, you've got to feel for him on that side. We just have this inability to close deals it seems. And I get that it's hard but we make it look like rocket science.

Is there some form of incompetence smog that's formed over the Brit over the past 18 months or something?

When they're a more attractive proposition than us (bigger club, nicer area), we NEED to be spending more money on these kinds of players.
When it's a key position, with a player who's within our means, we need to stop fucking penny pinching and compete
Letting them go to our direct competitors is only going to come back and bite us.

Our transfer team would have trouble signing a Dole form, hopefully they get the chance to, sooner rather than later.

Our attitude as a club is frustrating. Yes, I get the whole "we can't do a Southampton/Leeds/Portsmouth" mindset, but fuck me!
Getting better players gets us higher up the table and competing for silverware (I.e. Money)
Instead, "Ahh okay, so Leicester are improving by getting a better player in Iheanacho; let's go for the cast off in Musa and let them go a place or 2 above us."

They even messed up the loan deal of the 2 youngsters to Bristol Rovers so they couldn't play today. It just seems one thing after another. I feel sorry for Hughes.

We can certainly compete financially

And I get that it's hard but we make it look like rocket science. On the flip side, I suppose with the money saved, we can go out and buy 15 lads and ram them through St Pauli in the hope that one or two of them turn into Championship players...

Eugh😞 Comes out of nowhere (in the midst of speculation around him to Stoke) and they close the deal for a reasonable price. Pretty simple really, isn't it? ....... Tony? ......... Mark? 🏃🏻🏃🏻

Need to make the club a more attractive proposition for incoming players. - money is only part of it Show a bit more ambition? MH must be as frustrated as most fans, we have to stick with whoever is chosen to play I understand the likes of Whelan and Walters wanting "guaranteed" playing time to boost their international opportunities, but they didn't hang around when the chance came along? Team morale maybe an issue here

Team morale maybe an issue here The whole club atmosphere just feels so flat. From the board to the fans Ambition ultimately comes down to money. We're not going to make the area or stadium much nicer, so again it ultimately comes down to money. Shame, but it's all we can do if we're going to compete or improve

So we will end up with Fabian Delph. Not a defensive midfielder and hardly played for the last two seasons. Well done!

Have to admit, not overly sure why we are/were in for Delph? That's why I got excited over Lemina, exactly what we need, should have known better really
