Sorry. Signing Son's has completely gone off the radar for me now. Dont really care about that now. Im absolutely gutted over losing Azzaoui for nothing. Ugh. Terrible news. Kids gonna be a star one day and we need a winger coming up through the academy after Oduwa. This is why you sign your best youths to contracts before they get taken from underneath us. Ugh.

Losing this kid has been absolutely shocking. How did we let this happen. Was expecting big things from him.

maybe wolfburg offered him a huge 5 year contract, maybe he wasn't happy in england, we don't know.

Is it Sami Azzaoui who plays in Germany


Absolutely gutting this kid should have been our future. How did we let Ismail go? I thought we knew what we were doing when it came to our youth policy.

I did read somewhere that he tweeted that he had to make the biggest decision of his life about a week ago. His potential is 40m+ in today's money.

Don't mean to sound rude, but have you ever seen this kid play?

I was pretty unimpressed when I did


Seemed like a show pony in the mould of taarabt, and his team mates were getting fed up with him too (in the game, not in general!)

His positioning was dreadful throughout the game, until he was rightly hauled off

By the way, I'm not saying he'll never amount to anything....Just trying to temper the dismay

As of this morning expect a Dm and CF in before deadline and a youngster( i have no names) expect that is all the balls are up in the air.

Expect Ade and Fazio gone, others may go to some on Loan others perm Lamela, Lennon and some youngsters.

Please note that it is based on transfer rumours (which is why it is in the transfer rumours forum and in this thread).

Given the above ...

Anderlecht in Europa

... what the actual fuck are you thinking?

Don't know anything about this kid, but I think you're overreacting a bit .

Every club the world over lets young players go for various reasons who go on to bigger and better things. See Pogba for a perfect example.

I've seen glimpses of him and is true he's very exciting and his highlight reel would be incredible but taarabt is a very good comparison. The kid has talent but to get your knickers in a twist about losing him is premature

Good attitude. We've just signed a top level young player with a fantastic scoring record so let's moan about a youth player going who might not have even made the first team.
Im a conditioned bi-polar(thanks SC), pessimistic ****. What do you want from me?;)

Yedlin being one of those "youngsters" off? Needs PT. Loan or perm, please. Just get him off to a manager who will actually play him.

I read this in the voice of Kevin of Kevin and Perry.

Ugh.

Ali Z amongst others still optimistic about a striker and defensive midfielder

I have to say that the signings we have made so far have been excellent. There's not a single signing I have not been happy with. I think the lack of signing a striker in particular has clouded my judgement overall of the window. Keep up the good work Mr Levy Sir! If we can clinch a quality striker before the window closes I think we'll be right up there amongst the rich boys again this season. Solid defensive signings will in time make a big difference despite a poor start so far, and 2 really exciting pacey wide attackers will give us the edge in attack that we lacked last season.

For me the priority is to get a striker in, a defensive midfielder would be great too. However we have several options in centre midfield so I think someone could step up in there if need be. We don't have other options up front so that is my only concern really.
