Hey guys, new on the boards.
Apologies if this was brought up somewhere, but did anyone catch Curtis mentioning the other day they are in no rush to sign a DP. Found that a bit odd change of stance, coming from the FO talk of signing someone big in this window.
As for the Jozy situation, on the one hand I wish he'd recognize they won't tolerate his outbursts forever. He has it pretty good, making over 5 mil per season, and unlikely to make that much anywhere else. But, then on the other hand, I can't help but agree someone else or himself may be behind this stir-up. Maybe he wants to move but doesn't want it to seem that way to the fans?
Obviously none of us know what's happening with the DP spot being filled, but it's pretty frustrating MLSE and the FO haven't filled it yet, with the fat wallet MLSE has, but I get it's far more complicated then that. I'm not overly worried because technically we have the same "core" roster that brought us to another final, sure we've lost a few guys but hopefully Gallardo can shine, and Fraser can fill our Captains shoes until he's good.
Initially I was against bringing Gio back for the sheer fact MB took a massive pay cut to stay, meanwhile Gio left for a huge Pay increase, only now he realizes the grass isn't greener and (if rumors are true) would like to return, but would have to do so using MB's DP slot. Probably wouldn't go over well... but I'd be open to having him back even if for a 6 month-1yr stop gap. And maybe with his injury now MB would actually be ok with it. Just hope the FO can sign a decent 2nd striker soon, or a winger. Maybe we can ask Ajax AFC if we can borrow Hakim Ziyech, or Dusan Tadic
since they were looking in Holland.
