Rumour of Buendia off to Celta, I presume can't be true

Yes absolute BS. Probably created by @Delphinho123 to make himself feel good for a few hours

Managers are paid to talk shit in situations like that though, ”What we say is absolutely true, until conditions change”. Fans read everything the club says as gospel, that’s pretty naive.

Donk dragging his heels on a move, Fulham moving onto other defensive targets and Feyenoord selling other players before the one that we were after didn't help us make a signing, nor did that bloke who signed for Chelsea instead of us. Two players would have really further strengthened us, but it wasn't to be thanks to PSR & UEFA's even more restrictive rules.

All as the cartel intended.

£35m for Elanga to Newcastle.

Christ alive.

We have a bargain in getting Philogene back.

Go on, hit us with the negativity then…

I'd say Man Utd have done good business on paper strengthening defence and midfield. Spurs have added Solanke when they didn't really have a 9 last season. Chelsea have added another 200 players so should be stronger too. Newcastle haven't seemed to do much though.

As for ourselves it's debatable and comes down to how you rate Onana compared to Luiz and whether you think Diaby is a big loss. Personally I'm happy with our squad but a top CB/RB would have been the cherry on top.

Most importantly though when it comes to how we match up to other teams we have 1 big advantage. We have Unai.

Think it’s important to reiterate that Onana is not the/a Luiz replacement… that’s Tielemans, if anyone.

Onana brings us something different and what we didn’t have or were missing.

It’s Youri’s job to replace the sort of output and control Dougie gave us. To create, attack and cut through teams with his passing. Buendia can also help with that, further forward or out wide.

Onana’s is to be a powerhouse, make us more resilient and more difficult to dominate - particularly physically. Win duels and headers first and foremost.

There is no comparison between the players.

They know there's another 30 mill to be shaken out

[jacketspuds]

Despite my disappointment about us not strengthening our defence today, I’m delighted that we have sensible people running the club who are not desperately throwing money around.

£100m for Guehi and Elanga would have been hilarious.

Elanga is a more than decent player and far from worthless. I oersonally would never swap him for Philogene though,

She also mentioned that. She was pretty surprised tbf. 

I have no idea why I'm violating patient confidentiality by revealing this information, though. Very unprofessional of me. 

No way that you’re a doctor, you lack the intelligence.

Weird thing being forest already rejected that move in June when they did the Anderson for the GK swap deal

Madness that theyve waited until deadline day to go back in for him 

[jacketspuds]

Dharmesh Sheth now talking about deal sheets.

It’s about time I got shit-faced.
