Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 This Summer will be interesting. We’re going to have a proper overhaul. Ings/Watkins, Traore, Luiz, Targett, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Sanson might all be gone permanently. And I don’t think we’ll bring loads in either, maybe three at most and go after genuine quality. The likes of Chukwuemeka and Kessler will be in and around the first team squad too so we won’t need that many bodies. I know the club want a big squad for Europe etc. but we’re not in Europe yet so it’s about quality first and foremost. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Potentially good window minus the Targett deal. I am still not convinced that the club are looking for the DM that some fans actually want 7.5/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Brilliant signings and a notification from the club (or as good as) that I can go to bed and not bother with the deadline day stupidity. 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are looking for a centre midfielder who will play the ball from deep like Davis did at Rangers.

a m ole Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) We want someone to play in the middle of the 3 central midfielders, but we don’t want to buy someone who isn’t obviously more capable in that role that any of the players we currently have, because they’re already good at it. So buying no one at all is preferable if one of the elite players in the position is unattainable. I know people have suggested it but unless in a disaster or preseason fitness game Chambers will not play there for us.

Transfer windows have a funny effect on fans. If we’d have signed Olsen and Chambers before today and then signed Coutinho and Digne at 23:00 this evening every single fan would declare this window to be one of our best ever. The fact we got them all in early shouldn’t change that, yet some will be disappointed that we didn’t get involved with last day mahem. We, as fans are a funny bunch.

Not sure when they will stop their terrible signings, learning nothing I can see him ripping it up in Spain. The game will suit him more and the move may give him a bit of a motivational kick up the ass. He is apparently taking a pay cut so there must be a little bit of him wants to make the move happen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has improved my sleep no end and as you don’t properly wake up whereas the trip to the toilet would take 10 minutes or so to get back to sleep each time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good friend of mine (Utd fan) was at the '99 CL final against Bayern in Barcelona and left early and missed both Sheringham's and OGS's goals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
