Hopefully donations are up? well done Rob for keeping the site up and running.

A&C will be rattling the tin tomorrow to round up all the pledges etc but hopefully a positive end to the window is reflected in the donations. Normally I'm cursing Levy at this stage of the night.

Very pleased with this window now. We have some proper options in the center while adding pace and another quality striker.

We cleared out most the players Poch didn't fancy, while keeping everyone important. Sure we could have used another attacking midfielder, but luckily for us that's a position we have some of our most promising youngsters.

Roll on Stoke!

I'm being laughed at by a couple of Geordie pals, they can laugh now, I get it. But I think in a few months time they will actually be outraged, asking why he wasn't that consistent for them in 3 years.

I think donations need to start at home the amount of bragging A&C has done over his 16/1! :ROFLMAO:

surely 30 mill we could have done much better. lets act earlier next window

I think people are not putting this price into context of the other prices being paid this window:
Marcus Alonso - £23m. This guy was at Bolton and wasn't able to hack the English style. Conte was quoted as saying "the market is ridiculous, I'm being quoted 50m for medium (average) players"

Islam Slimani - £29m, 28 years old and big attitude to go with it.

Mustafi and Perez - £52m for a permacrock centreback and a journeyman striker who had one good season at the age of 27, effectively the Spanish Vardy in many respects.

Pogba - £93m Really???

Even in the Championship; Hendrik for 10m. Kodjia for 11m. Burke for 13m. Who the hell are any of these players??

£30m for Sissoko doesn't seem so bad

Let's hope but as he is only 17 unless he is a Pele, Best or Maradona I think we have a few years to wait for an impact. Glad though to have him in the squad as he makes sense to me but with Wanyama already bought I am not sure what Sissoko adds. Edwards. And Winks are the great hopes but we really could have done with a creative ... not just fast ... AM
I see your point. An Isco would have been great. The onus is going to be on Alli and Erikson in the central AM to unlock defences. Think we have enough to go up against most teams and will be able to ward off exhaustion by rotating more.

From what I can see we are level with Stoke, with Sunderland also about to sign a keeper to bring them up to 3 today. Dead heat rule to come into play (whatever that is!)
Sorry fella but Stoke signed Bruno Martins Indi, Wilfired Bony and Lee Grant on loan as well as a youngster called McJannett. Shame because I had spurs at 14-1 to sign the most
