Any news?
Doubt it. We don’t seem close to selling or buying anyone. Ally Gold’s article the other day, that sounded like he’d been briefed by the club, is where we are if you ask me.

Willian plays on the right so he wouldnt be competing with him. He would with Pedro but he has become a utility player of sorts. Also Willian is 29 and Pedro is 30, beyond those two (excluding Hazard) the only other wing option they have is Lucas Piazon (who will no doubt go out on loan again). They are in dier need for more wing options especially as Sarri plays a very intensive 433. We have far more attacking midfield/ wing forward options then Chelsea and i don't see Zaha going straight into our starting 11 where as i can see that happening at Chelsea. Even if Hazard stays, which i very much doubt, they are still in desperate need. I just dont see how our need is the same as theirs no matter how much we might like to sign him.

Yep, and it's felt really strange in that we haven't felt close to signing anyone or getting rid of anyone all window. I for instance thought Llorente would be long gone by now, along with N'Koudou and Janssen. I just don't know what to make of it, the last few windows you could argue have been disappointing in their own ways but they felt like we ended up just failing. This window so far feels like we're not even looking. I know that's not the case but that's just how it's felt.
I agree. I was calm up until the last few days but the silence is deafening. It’s because nobody wants our deadwood and we don’t want to pay nowadays what it takes to get players like Zaha.
Doesn't feel like this one is happening - not even a sniff of a link to us getting it done in the media.

I don't necessarily disagree but JJ did always say the media were far behind with stuff - so just because it's not in the media doesn't mean things aren't moving.Doesn't feel like this one is happening - not even a sniff of a link to us getting it done in the media.

It's not even that stage of the window, people are like it all window. They moan because we haven't signed anyone. Then we get positive news about a player and they dismiss it. I do wonder why people even bother posting in this section of the forum. Surely this type of news is what it's all about. I love the excitement of whether we might sign a player.Has @Hercules retracted his "fee agreed and our offer to Zaha is better than Chelsea's" information, or have we just reached the stage of the window where we believe anything negative and ignore/dismiss anything positive?
As during squeaky bum time at the end of last season, there seem to be more fannies on here than there are on Pornhub.
