Be encouraged – Slav looking only at very best

bilic2It was very reassuring to learn that Slaven Bilic will be watching those players on his priority list at the Euro 201 Finals.

For days we have been told that any number of previously unheard of strikers, midfielders and defenders could be on their way to the club plus of course …Gokham Tore!!!

It’s par for the course at this time of the year for such stuff to be contantly doing the rounds but with a major tournament in front of us why wouldn’t Slav be looking at the very best players aroundbefore making big decisions?

We were told categorically yesterday evening that all his big targets are involved in the competition and any that aren’t  would be very low on his priorty list.

Frankly it’s enough for me at the moment to know that is the case and entirely as I expected when we reported people inside the club as saying “no dealings are likely to be done before the tournament.”

Be encouraged Slav is on the case and in Slav we trust!

  1. Like everybody else I’m sick to death of the transfer speculation rumours and it’s only the 1st of June!

    Sadly, like everybody else, I can’t stop reading them!

    I do, however, have an unshakable belief that we will have a better squad and 1st 11 by the end of this window.

    Trust in Slav. Trust in the David’s.

    ‘Nuff said.

  2. why do we all get sucked into this tabloid gossip on transfers? I know it is complete trash but as you say Mark – cannot stop reading!

  3. Lol,its true,you know 99% is bollox but you still read it & that little 1% makes you wonder if it’s true.Then you head back to reality & realise that its total bollox.
    So Tore wont be coming to us then as he isn’t go to the euros is he.We will see,i can’t believe all Bilics top targets are all at the euros,seems pretty stupid to assume that imo 🙂

  4. He’s only looking at players who are going to the Euros?

    Bit of a shame. I mean, if I supported another club, I’d want my manager to be looking at Cresswell, Noble, Antonio…

    Also, I’d rather we bought players before they have a great tournament…

    Please note: I don’t actually believe that he’s only looking at players going to the tournament. I think the club have been unsuccessful in their initial approaches (fair enough).

  5. Sorry but I don’t believe that for one minute, I don’t think he’d rule anything in or out

  6. Well none of us know who his ‘big targets’ are so how the f@ck do we not know they are playing at the euros I’m sure he has many irons in the fire but none of us know his main one ain’t at the tournament.Unless Bradley has confirmed it.He is the main man to be trusted obviously.

  7. Abbsolute nonsense that he’s only looking at Euro 2016 players – that rules out any South Americans for a start and would risk missing out on any unearthed gems such as Lanzini, Payet, Ant etc. Also, by waiting for the end of the Euros, any player that has a good tournament will have £m’s added to their price tag.

  8. Some of you lads need reading glasses.Nowhere does it say he isnt after players from elsewhere it only says his ‘priority list’ players are at the euros.The article doesn’t say he wont buy from elsewhere,only that his ‘big targets’ will be there this summer.Can anyone disprove this claim?

    • The headline and tone of the article imply this though Antman – it is tabloid style writing. And sentences like “We were told categorically yesterday evening that all his big targets are involved in the competition and any that aren’t would be very low on his priorty list.” only serve to underline the main thrust of the piece.

  9. No I can’t disprove it Antman.Guilty as charged.Only Bradley is to be believed,thats the deal I think lol

  10. I don’t want a player that gets injured at the Euro’s either, spesh a big money signing, all these things have to be considered,
