    I was trying to describe myself to someone

    We badly needed this. We at least now have an experienced Premier League operator whilst Woltemade gets himself up to speed.

    Ideally we'd have sorted all this nonsense out before the season began, but as an overall window, the signings look good on paper.

    - We've offloaded Wilson and replaced him with Wissa.
    - Let Isak go for a big profit and brought in a big future prospect (even if he was rather far down the shopping list...)
    - Bit of extra muscle in midfield with Ramsey.
    - Upgraded Murphy (who was arguably the weakest position in our best 11) with Elanga, which means we have some proper depth on both wings now.
    - Added some extra talent to our centre back pool with Thiaw.
    - Arguably improved our GK pool with Ramsdale (given Pope's tendency to knacker a shoulder, this could be important) on loan.

    On top of that, we've cleared away some players who were falling down the pecking order or aging out and weirdly made some solid profit on Lloyd Kelly.

    I think we might be a bit crap and unsettled for a few more weeks yet, but there's some promise here.

    Well, until we start playing CL and everyone gets broken. :crylaugh:

    Wahay, we've avoided Martinez! Villa taking Sancho as well, what a day

    Dan Gosling on Sky Sports News to talk about...United's new keeper from Belgium.

    I'd be fucking amazed if he knew who he is.

  9. Akanji off the Inter. Hoping Spurs can wrap up Ake before the deadline.

    Celtic and this transfer window - just when you think it can't get any worse, it gets worse.

    Biggest spend ever in a transfer window. Madness.

    Be twice the ocean. Be twice the land.

    Jesus christ, they're winning everything lol.

    Palhinha
    Simons
    Kolo Muani

    That’s a fantastic window any other year but it is way overshadowed by how much Liverpool and Arsenal did lol

    Imagine picking Potter over Glasner. No Europe, either. He'd still get plenty of minutes, surely?

    Absolutely classic Super Lig move

    Looks like this could be off. Palace don't have time to find a replacement after the Igor decision posted above. Losing him for free in the summer will sting.

    Imagine supporting the team Isak will make his home debut against. In a derby. It's going to be a massacre.

    This is the sort of mentality that will have you always living in the shadows. Be positive!
     
  18. oh I didn’t mean that as me thinking negative. I love the window! Haha it was a painful process but we walked away with 4 players who will absolutely help us. And do so fairly immediately. We also signed the young Japanese CB but I don’t know much about him. Excited to see him get some minutes.

    Getting slightly concerned at the lack of official confirmation of both Lammens and Sancho....

    Supposedly Glasner threatened to walk if they sold him.

    Glasner would fucking crush at a team with those resources (compared to the rest of the league)
