Well that's about 95% of the forum It's an 8-9, arguably a 9 given the quality brought in. Think our first choice 11 is a match for pretty much anyone now. I suppose the club as a whole feels like a 10 now with EH in the overall equation.

We didn't even have a sporting director or a CEO 9 months ago, I don't know how we managed that first window as well as we did.

For me it's 8/10 and i'm even being a bit harsh as we have left ourselves slightly vulnerable with a lack of quality depth, which i've no doubt will come in time. Absolutely nobody on here knows for sure the financial conditions we operate under. I mean, this summer's window was the first one where we even had a technical/sporting director and a CEO, the prior window we had the owners doing everything. Think it's been brilliant and we even have one of the absolute top young strikers in world football at our club now, imagine that at any point over the last 15 years man.

Aye I get that in general but it's not just a year ago, you're still talking about wiping 15 years of neglect away in two windows. I think across the two windows we've done just about as much as we possibly could, without knowing all the financial details we operate under. Don't forget we didn't even have any structure in place in January, so this is the first window where that executive structure existed.

Have to say that's one of the most glass-half-empty views i've read on here. I give the window an 8/10, we signed some exceptional players, Pope was a big time upgrade on Dubs and we just happen to have landed one of the top young strikers in world football. Compared to a year ago, it's just night and day and the journey is only just getting underway. All that said, we do lack quality depth and i'm sure that will come.

Island heed with a face like blancmange there

Ando? Bit harsh..

Frosty as fuck

Willian to Fulham on free transfer and Melo having medical at the cunts

Just utterly gutted for the players, what a shift they put in, didn't deserve that.

Every single Liverpool game I see, Fabinho gets away with dozens of fouls

Arsenal back in front in a matter of seconds, Martinelli. Gerrard's face

Villa level direct from a corner

Probably Beglin, played for them briefly 35 years ago so of course, impartiality is too much to ask

Pay serious money, get serious quality

Great to have Targett back

Alvarez hits the post, Man City must have had close to 95% possession

Can't wait to hear which of our players is fucked next

Haaland hat trick, about as predictable as the Sound of Music and i've seen that 17 times

Watched the Tyneside Life video prior to the City game, he (quite reasonably) asked the City fan if we were more of a threat than last season, the kid just shook his arrogant head and said in his best Coronation Street impression "Do you knerrrr who we've got up front?". Cunts.

Probably conservatively worth 3 times what they paid for him already

Haaland again, bloody tap in, nice build up though

How did Bournemouth keep Haaland out

Freakin Haaland again and the City fans look...bored

Forest absolutely penned in for the entirety of the 9 minutes so far but defending well. Hope they get something from the Coronation St cunts
