on the contrary my friend, the window went completely to plan. Issue bullsh*t rumours of a warchest- check. Sell out STs and cheese room- check. BSoDL insist we can only complain after the window has slammed shut on our noses- check.
We know that when we sell that pussy Eriksen, who couldn't tackle an empty crisp packet, the proceeds won't be used on the stadium to optimise the value of ENICs investment? Don't we?
I bet we don't levy will convince poch that they can muddle through as we won't need anyone adding to the wage bill.If the predd rumours that Dembele is off in Jan turn out to be true than we will have to sign a new CM if levy likes it or not.
But sadly he is correct though.Wow. Someone needs a hug.
Keeping an eye out for premium players not getting games at PSG, Bayern, Barca or Real. I suspect we will make moves for these type of players and then give them the Lucas treatment of cup games and learning the system so they’re properly ready for next season.
We’re in a mess with contracts (Jan, Toby, Dembele) so will be interesting to see what happens with these 3.
If Villa are languishing in mid table we may have a shot at getting Grealish in. Can't see them selling if they are near the playoff spots or higher though.
I'm sure if , like moura, a talent becomes available we will go for it.
Unlikely we bring any players that can challenge the starting XI in January. I hope we can offload deadwood, and perhaps sign a couple of younger, highly-rated players that can then be loaned back to their current clubs. And then have them come in for a full preseason under Poch. Indeed, I'd love to see us adopt more of a strategy that targets these younger talents in the same way Dortmund, Ajax and others seem to have success with. Invariably, it's those same players that we go after when they are more established and more-often-than-not fail to sign. We might have more success in identifying these talents earlier, get them signed and loaned out, as needed, to get the experience required to have an impact in the PL. It's not like it has to be one over the other. But I'd at least like to see this strategy incorporated more into our overall recruitment planning.
More important would be to get players like Eriksen, Dele, Vertonghen and Toby to sign new contracts...
the thing is we all thought players new contracts would be announced before the season started, yet these 4 haven't. is it the players, is it the club situation with the Stadium, and failed naming rights, or are they all pissed off that we never signed players without understanding we had to sell too, or have a complete overloaded squad with 3+ players getting a very good wage for sitting at home playing on their PS4's
Mine would be to transfer the fickle minority of fans we have that have been going OTT with their criticism every time we lose.No problem with constructive shit, but alot of it has been ridiculous.
We win our next game we are top.... Keep it fucking real
Sorry for going off topic.
and equally with the the greater number who over-celebrate a couple of squeaky victories then pass that off as proof we didn't need to invest during thew window. It's early doors, we're gonna do well. Are we gonna do better, with Lucas rediscovering his form? Of course it's gonna take a while to work that out, but one thing is pretty clear. Competition for top 4 and the domestic cups just got tougher.
Monkeys, typewriters, the full works of Shakespeare before that happens. I just feel that those three will be drawing their pensions before we move them onIf we get bids for Aurier, N'koudou and Janssen then maybe we can get someone decent in.
