We have 1 good keeper on our books and one arguably passable one. Another decent keeper would be a welcome addition. Would we prefer a cb or rw first? Oh god, sure. But let’s at least improve where we can if- for whatever reason- we can’t get in anyone for the other positions.

Appreciate the updates, man.

Yeah the noises around the deal as highlighted by @Shadow Puppets were always so confident; perhaps lackadaisically so. If Mitchell and Parish know each other so well then we should have at least had some vague notion as to how likely he’d be to budge. I suspect Parish didn’t enter into these negotiations in good faith and now, with a day left, we’re standing out in the cold with our dicks out. I had always assumed we had tangible back-ups to Guehi but for whatever reason that doesn’t seem like the case? Maybe it’s the ultimate brinksmanship tactic by them and we’ll end up being fleeced for another 10m or whatever but I don’t see our owners being too impressed with that.

Not improving is weakening. Everyone else around us have improved, so -relatively speaking- we’re a weaker outfit this year with no further additions.

Yeah, Parish is a cartel 6 shill and a pillock to boot. This isn’t getting done imo. If that report is true and he’s moving goalposts this late in the game then it’s not a goer.

Yeah. It’s fine to be disappointed with what’s probably going to be a pretty barren window. There’s gray area between “heads should roll!” and “remember the Ashley days?!” Feeling a bit let down with the lack of permanent additions is a fairly reasonable reaction imo.

Not sure what this means. It’s understandable to be disappointed at how this window’s played out, man. Still a day to go though so let’s see…

Think I’m in the “we’re signing nee cunt” boat now. Super disappointing stuff if that ends up being the case. What a wasted opportunity to kick on.

Yeah. Just ask yer ma. Couldn’t resist.

So underrated on the ball. Can understand fans of other clubs assuming he’s just an “ave it” style big lump of a defender but our own fans should know better.

Not a disaster.

Yeah. Straight down the tunnel too is always a bad look too, whether or not that means anything.

Love that touch Sandro, man.

Poor Willock, man.

Um ref?

Guy’s 6ft 8 apparently ?

Liking the energy throughout the team here.

That’s amazing.

He’s an absolute unit, definitely good enough for a team with CL aspirations. I’d say Guehi is more of a sure thing, and I’d rate him higher but I wouldn’t be massively disappointed if we ended up with Simikan. The link is pretty tenuous though so it’s a bit silly hailing him as the saviour of our window just now.

Think it’s more to do with the fact that there’s 3 days left of the window and Guehi’s club aren’t playing ball. Prefer Guehi personally (for all the reasons you’ve mentioned) but Simakan is no slouch.

Simakan is quality tbf.

Sorry to hear that.

Lotta ifs flying about. 3 days to go, lads let’s just tie something down.

“Sideways move” is wild .

It’ll be disappointing for sure but who’s heads would you want to roll exactly?
