Our transfer dealings are poor
Our transfer dealings are poor
We are cringeworthy with our highlighting players within our transfer/pay structure and then once thats done making our approach and getting that deal over the line. I know we cant bankrupt the club but if this current manager has not proved his worth by deserving a "slight pushing the boat out" from his board and getting the quality player/players he wants/needs then no manager in our history will ever do it. Keep hearing world cup this and world cup that ? which players have we been linked to / can afford that have been involved in the world cup ? the players we are after have been sat with their agents at home watching the world cup on the telly. Thats the time to strike and get the deals done and get players in for pre season as these players have to buy into the managers team ethics / style of play and fitness level. We have never had the luxury like we did last season were we knew "around xmas time" we were not getting relegated and what have we done with that "advantage" ? nothing.
If we cant afford current premiership players then top level championship players of clubs not promoted should be seeked out like your Hendricks and Brady not play ping pong with west broms and notts forest of this world and get nowhere.
Just my opinion
Brian

Re: Our transfer dealings are poor - we seem to learn nothing from past experiences
I really do hope that you feel a hell of a lot better after getting all that off your chest.
Personally, I prefer just to wait and see if anything happens and not to worry because they don't consult me about transfer dealings or anything else for that matter. I am never, ever stressed about football or anything else for that matter, you shoudl try it.

We have at least one thread like this every transfer window and somehow we've just finished in our highest league position for 40 odd years and are about to embark on our first European campaign in 52 years.
We must be doing something right.

Because its cool to back the club and never slate them. Maybe a little over the top this OP but a lot of it is truth. We knew we were safe at xmas....deals should have virtually been done then. Nobody can tell me that we didnt know we needed a centre half, winger and possibly a no 10.

Last seven or eight transfer windows, same old, same as, threads.
And each season we've finished higher in the leagues than the season before.

Re: Our transfer dealings are poor - we seem to learn nothing from past experiences
I agree with the sentiment expressed by Brian.
I don't think it is the board though, I think it is Dyche. Prior to Sean taking control we used to make our dealing much sooner and from different sources than the UK.

Re: Our transfer dealings are poor - we seem to learn nothing from past experiences
It’s easy this buying players malarkey. I do it all the time on champ manager. Nearest most of us get to it is buying a house. You see one you like and generally helpfully they have a price tag attached. Image if every house just had ‘offers’ as its price tag. You can draw up countless shortlists. But you know you don’t want to offer over the odds so I’d love to know how to get the house you want for a good price. It really ist that simple. Recruitment is the day job of our chairman so maybe just maybe he knows what he is doing.
Re: Our transfer dealings are poor - we seem to learn nothing from past experiences
We'll get the players in, we'll likely end up blinking first and just paying the asking prices as the clock ticks.

The manager seemed fairly adamant (although not confident) that we would have to break our transfer record to get in at least one of his targets
The Chairman states our transfer budget for this year will be higher than last
Wonder how far those two thoughts are apart in terms of real cash available to spend ?

Re: Our transfer dealings are poor - we seem to learn nothing from past experiences
Unfortunately, I think some on here really believe that you can constantly challenge the top six if you get your transfer policy right. It takes far more money than we will ever have, unless someone sinks many millions into the club.
The fact that we were close to Arsenal last season, and when Leicester won the league was more to do with the fact the clubs above us were struggling somewhat.
We finished in a position of 7th where the vast majority of clubs outside the top six will never achieve without serious funding.
We did that without throwing unlimited funds at players both in transfer fees and wages.
We DON'T need to spend like many suggest.

Dyche worked his magic, the OP is saying Dyche deserves for the board to ''push the boat out'' on a few of his main targets and really back him and I don't disagree with that part of his post at all, hopefully the board will do that, we just have to wait and see.Spijed wrote:Unfortunately, I think some on here really believe that you can constantly challenge the top six if you get your transfer policy right.

Apart from press on and push Arsenal for sixth place right until a few games from the end.
Dyche will clearly buy the players he thinks we need when he thinks we need them - subject to price.
It's worked every damn season he's been here, I see no reason why this one should be any different.

There doesn't seem to be any news on any outgoings. Are none of our players in demand? Finishing 7th suggests we did something right last season.Perhaps we are the club that are difficult to deal with.

Re: Our transfer dealings are poor - we seem to learn nothing from past experiences
The reason we are successful is not because of the transfer policy but because Dyche continues to get miracles out of the players. At the start of last season he was saying don't expect a miracle again , yet produced an even better miracle.
Whatever squad he has been able to put together he has got more out of those players than any other manager could achieve, which has been masking to an extent some of our failings in the transfer window.
Going back to our first season in the premier league, if we had pushed the boat out and were decisive in getting his two main targets early in the window, Deeney and Dawson, there is no way we would have been relegated and the investment would have given a much bigger return.
This is why its so frustrating , give Dyche more quality and there is no reason why we will not be even more successful. Simples.
