Can you imagine the meltdown in here on June 1st if I told you Llorente would be our only attacking signing lol.Its slightly tempered by fact Aurier and Sanchez are fantastic.But it's hugely annoying we are literally one player away from it being almost perfect.Really need someone like Nkoudou or Marcus Edwards to step up now.,such a shame.pretty gutted tbh.

The one thing that is keeping me going until the end is @Rob previous optimism. We know JJ and others talk privately to the mods so there may still be something we are at least hopeful of even if it's becoming very unrealistic...

Well, on the plus side is we aren't going to do another Sissoko and Llorente was a nice out of the blue surprise.

Lloris Vorm Gazzaniga
Aurier Tripper
Alderweireld Sanchez
Vertonghen Foyth
Rose Davies
Wanyama Dier
Dembele Winks (maybe Gomes)
Eriksen Sissoko
Dele Nkoudou
Son Lamela
Kane Llorente (maybe Janssen)

That's a bloody incredible squad if you ask me.
Sissoko as back up to Eriksen is incredible ? GKN as back up to Dele ? Lamela who isn't fit and nobody knows when he will be as back up to Son ? Bloody incredible ???

I really admire your optimism, can I have some of what you are on.

If Llorente is the end, all we've done is basically slightly improved our cover at CB/ striker

Massively underwhelming now

It is the same story though, strengthen places but miss the key areas.... we have never replaced Bale or Lennon... Do not @ me with GKN or Njie.... they were not Bale or Lennon level and never will be.... we will struggle when teams park the bus at Wembley as burn and Chelsea done and all teams will do same.... lets see in the summer if this window was a success or not as clearly differnet opinions, in my mind its not bad but it aint good either

Gonna do my usual and get my head down and hope for a nice surprise* in the morning. Enjoy the rest of the ride lads and lasses.

*not a Sissoko though please

It's a shame that we haven't managed to sign a player, or players, that can influence the game from the bench and provide genuine competition that Sissoko and N'koudou fail to.

The reality is, the damage was done long before today. It's a long season and a bit of extra quality could have seen us genuinely challenge for a trophy.

The meltdowns are superb, all the optimism churns in to bitter bitter disappointment and resentment, it fucking tickles me.

In the name of Faux Outrage...were gonna fuckin go down, and the hotdogs at Wembley are pants.

Booo(urns)

Good window for me but ITK repeatedly said Barkley was a MUST for Poch. Sure, maybe the injury has changed that but not completely sure why we loaned out Onomah now if Barkley or Gomes weren't done deals.

I disagree, we've kept everyone except Walker which is a massive plus for us - particularly when you see the mental sums of money that have been thrown about this window.

Very disappointed to not get Gomes after having a whole day of everyone reporting it was all sorted and would definitely happen. He would've been a fantastic addition.

Still a decent window but could've been amazing.
