I think a few people rated me as disagree and spam when I said there would be more lows
Fuck what everyone else has got, we've got a cracking squad, and we actually made a few bob this summer with our sales.
The whole 50 million loan was just ITK talk, and rumour milling - simply as that (unless there really is levy time), so we have our squad and positions covered.
Personally, I think Rose has done a cracking job and will continue to improve over the summer, I'm not sure LB is a major concern to be honest, Rose, Naughton and Verts who can cover that position is good enough for me.
I'm actually really excited about our team settling over the coming months and then sitting back and enjoying the season, I honestly think we'll see a trophy this year too (Europa League maybe).
We can compete for top 4, we really can.

Very pleased with our window, but shipping out BAE without cover in LB is big mistake imo. Extra annoying since we basically made the same mistake last season when we loaned out Andros. When Lennon was injured and Bale playing in his more central role that meant we were left with no pace whatsoever on the wings.

its pointless explaning this to some people. Some people clearly live in a world of fifa and football manager and we're buying people with monopoly money that doesn;t really exist.

RB, LB, CB, CF short of big big things.
Will be too expensive to fix the holes in Jan, so our cause is in the wind.
Will have to rely on our forwards to bring home the bacon and AVB to really earn his corn with tactics.
Liverpool, Scum, Chelsea, Manure, City.
5 tough teams we have to duke it out with.
Injuries, suspension, wonky refs etc. will all play a part.
Let's just enjoy it and the new crackers we've signed.
Here comes LAMELA!

Yeah, all the talk of needing a playmaker, we have signed Eriksen for that. 21yrs old, proven already at club, European and international level. He is the man that will provide the link. Holtby has had half a season to bed in, we will see the best of him now too. Two players right there for the key no10 role.
Now of only we had two LB's too....

Not enough, personally I'd like him to be wearing a frying pan across his chops.
actually we've sold BAE so our net spend must be in the minus figures
my bad. i just saw his tweet on ssn. assumed he had been sold and not loaned

I dont want to sound like a whiny ****, but from the outside looking in considering our outgoings and incomings along with our net spend, we couldve done more to solidify our top 4 challenge. a net spend of 4m with a tv deal, new sponsors and a rumoured 50m loan isnt that ambitious IMO. As things stand we still have the 4th/5th best squad in the league (and thats not even considering the fact that our players are mostly all strangers to each other and will take time to gel) which leaves us about where we've been for the last 4/5 years despite spending 100 odd million.
I think we couldve made at least 1 more quality signing.

Some people dont know how good we have it. People complain when we leave it late and then complain if we do all our business before deadline day. Sadly not everyone can be satisfied, there's always something to moan about.
This is the best squad we've ever had in a Premier League season. I am so glad the window is shutting so we can focus on what we do have. This has been a fantastic window and I will never forget it. We got it right this year. COYS!!!

I think a lot of the carping on here is really down to the result at the weekend. But the corresponding scores there over the past 2 years were 5-2. This year with a team who have only just learnt each others names we lost 1-0. We have bought a couple of world class players and 4 more very good players even by prem standards. This is the starting point for a great team. Sure we still have a couple of positions that we need to improve on, but there is no way that we have had a bad summer. We are strong, we will get even better.
