God why do I even get my hopes up with this team.

 

My minimum to continue giving this team money is an attacking mid / royer position and ST with at least the possibility of being MLS all star quality.

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Motherfucking inept penny-pinching douchebags.     If you have a budget, then go after players in your budget!    If you think a guy is worth $4M, he's probably worth 5.  Constantly wasting time on deals that they can't get across the line.

I just don't get it.    They offered $4M+, apparently.   They can't go to 5 for this guy?  That's not cheap, that's inept.  Get the damn deals done.

This team needs a closer when it comes to getting players.

Not sure you can blame either club here at the moment. RB probably set a budget hoping to pick up a player who clearly wants out and Norrköping is in a similar situation to the one we were in with Kaku and America.

This could very well be more posturing on both sides. Or maybe the deal really is dead. We'll see, but Thelwell and company are clearly not just standing pat this winter.

They can surely go 5 but they probably don't think he's worth that. It would be pinching pennies if we were talking about a $50M transfer, but the extra $1M in a 25% increase on the price.

 

This is only relevant and a defense of the club if they are going to spend the money elsewhere. If not getting him means not getting anyone of substance then they can fuck off.

People who cover the team want us to be happy that the richest owner in MLS tried to make a signing that should be the bare minimum for a competitive team and then ran away over a million dollars.

If they don't have a backup deal done very quickly, they suck at their jobs.

None of this is that precise.   Can you really look at a guy and say whether they are 4M player or a 5M player?     That would only be reasonable if they thought he was a 2M or 3M player (Jorgensen money) and were willing to go to 4.   But if all they are looking at are 2 or 3M players, then what the fuck?

In a normal world, I wouldn't mind this. But with this team, there's no reason for anyone to be confident that the team will pivot and actually sign an alternative.

How could there be any profit in this shoestring operation?

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

If they are unwilling to spend big, why does Thelwell keep sniffing around Europe?

Personally I never heard of this guy and $5 million seems kinda steep for another project player. This teams needs an immediate impact signing, not another developmental DP that Red Bull will try to "sell" to Salzburg or Leipzig two years from now.

There is no veteran presence they can sign for $4 million? Why not make an offer for Giroud at that price. Get someone who can put on the shirt and immediately start banging in goals.
