People don’t seem to understand that sometimes we could be holding it off with rumours swirling because we’re trying to get them earlier and if that’s the case it is going to take time with negotiations for that to happen.
There’s also things like going through the contracts, checking all the clauses etc. we generally don’t hear whispers about someone potentially going to another club until the players and the clubs have agreed to terms. But we live in a society full of people that want everything done yesterday and think we’re not “chasing hard” enough or “not prioritising forwards” because we’re not chasing players of a certain stature.
It’s funny the same sort of people that are complaining about us not throwing the chequebook at May, are the same people who cracked the shits because the club was paying overs for players who only came to the club for the $$$ and suddenly our recruitment isn’t good enough now because were actually recruiting players that align with the clubs values?
Can’t please anyone these days and Gus knows what he’s doing he’s proven it time and time again yet people question his motives more than they question their spouses
