š yeah itās a completer and utter mess ffs
-
Agreed thereāll be too many games where we either lose narrowly or fail to win by being unable to break teams down. Almiron and Murphy are functional squad players, good pros but that wonāt contribute to top four this year. RW has needed upgrading for years.
-
Not another saga I canāt cope š
-
I still canāt work out the deal with the Greek fella? š Did he come in purely as part of some PSR thing and now theyāre sending him out on loan? So Dubravka stays as number 2?
-
Have I missed recent links with him then?
-
Great description š
-
It certainly hasnāt played out how they usually do but both Caulkin and Douglas have said club would dispute how many bids thereāve been. All the noise seems to have come from the Palace end. Youād imagine there either needs to be movement next couple of days otherwise we lose time securing other targets. Iāve no idea what will happen, what a mental saga š
-
RW links have gone altogether? Iāll reserve judgement until the window shuts.
-
Players opt for the wage at Chelsea and know exactly the situation theyāre walking into so I donāt have much sympathy for him. Chances are heāll get limited playing time and end up moving on š¤·āāļø
-
My concern āifā we were to sign nobody is if weāve limited ourself to minimal options which doesnāt fit our our previous strategy before. With our scouting network youād assume we have several options for key positions and some that no fucker in the press knows about.
-
Be funny after all this thereās a couple of total curve balls out of the blue š
-
Agreed. Though less than ideal we can āmanageā RW until Jan if necessary but we could be really screwed if we lose Schar for any length of time.
-
haha fair point š That is a different discussion though in terms of our entire progress and looking at this transfer window in isolation and potentially helping secure top four next season and preventing the likes of Bruno, Isak, Gordon leaving.
-
I know there are lots of factors at play including the dreaded PSR but if youād said to me a few years back we would potentially coming out of the 24/25 season summer transfer window with no first 11 signings Iād have been shocked and bemused. Fwiw I still think weāll make a signing or two and it does appear that thereās a log jam in lots of the market and things will probably really hot up from here on in or certainly in the last week. Pressure is on though.
-
Deals āoftenā happen late in the window, you canāt rule anything out at this stage.
-
Hasnāt proved he can organise a defence has he. I like the predictions, gives us plenty chance to go under the radar and prove people wrong at the same time.
-
I think the club does need to do something positive in this window though. It will have been a poor one if nothing else comes in and it would help generate some excitement and momentum. I canāt see top four without a couple signings either as Iāve said before.
-
Felix signing for Chelsea, I wonder if anything happens with Madueke after this.
-
Love that. He properly shrunk with the abuse and was ineffective after that.

Thanks for the info as always. Will be interesting to see what happens. I still think it might happen based on absolutely nothing other than gut instinct and snippets of info such as from yourself š I think thereāll be a few outings maybe Trippier and that will mean we bring a RW in. I think itās about to get very hectic.
-
Waugh saying itās going to have to be finalised one way or another next few days. Either pay up or move on (which is pretty obvious really)
-
That maybe the case but on the evidence of the euros he looks pretty fucking good to me. Iām sure thereās areas he can improve in, heās only 23/24 too and Howe and Tindall seem to have a knack in this set up of pushing players on. What will be will be, I just hope we get some CB cover/depth in.
-
A lot of our play under Howe relies on being super fit, so itās fair to say weāre probably no quite there yet and finding our way a bit. Thatās no excuse for flat performances but I think youāll see us looking much sharper a few games in.
