Yeah there’s no chance he’s coming to us now.

Parrish has stood firm for his club but he’s still a wanker and he’s been at the forefront of an anti nufc agenda in the league. Their fans seem to have taken a disliking (often sanctimonious on the Saudi theme) and to be honest I don’t really like them. I hope we fucking smash them at St James.

Yeah, agreed there’s a strong chance all three are gone next season and we have a complete reset. Doesn’t seem like the project that was sold to them initially.

I don’t think Isak stays next season if we don’t have champions league and there’s question marks over the other two as well.

Piss poor window, 3 maybe 4/10. Yes we kept the big hitters and brought in Kelly and Osula but in a season where we have a real chance to get back into Europe/top four because of our lack of Europe to not strengthen in any of the key areas which everyone knows we’ve needed is failure. They’ve had ages to formulate a list of targets and then when it’s come to it have failed to execute the plan several times with Tosin, Kelman and Guehi and that’s then effected recruitment on the RW. Really deflating.

Yes also surely the CEO handles negotiations with Mitchel with updates to Howe.

I think Eales will go on to do well for us, however he’s also collectively responsible for getting this window completely wrong which could have huge ramifications for the club this season and moving forwards.

😂we’ve been properly had

signed

No new RW, no new CB, Dubravka still back up. Fuck me 😂🤦‍♂️

All looks so desperate doesn’t it

I agree with you, I’ve already stated how shite this window has been multiple times. The club will have looked at what’s available already rightly or wrongly.

She’s a fucking idiot

Which is possibly one reason why they’ve looked at things and thought they have Burn, Schar, Kelly and Krafth and have Botman and Lascelles coming back. Whether you agree with that or not.

😂

I think this is key. The club has stated clearly they won’t overpay on targets (otherwise you end up like Man U paying exorbitant fees). The issue is leaving us short at the back.

Lascelles played on the right last season from memory

Left. On a slightly different note we are at some point gping to have to play two left footers at CB.

Agreed, it’s possible to say how rubbish this window has been and question why but surely be aware how much better off we are since the takeover and know that the people running the club WANT to push on and achieve things. That was completely absent under Ashley.

I think they can switch sides, either way Barnes surely has to start on Sunday with Gordon and Isak

When the club as taken over I envisaged exciting windows where we looked to bring in absolute quality each window but not on a ridiculous, unrealistic level. We’ve obviously made some great signings since the takeover but PSR has totally fucked us really and I think there needs to be a degree of realism moving forwards. We see hamstrung by regulations that perfectly suit the top 6 and makes it very hard for anyone else to progress. I don’t think the club realised how difficult things would be for them. That said it’s still possible to feel extremely deflated by this window. Whatever the reason is (and Howe has alluded to them in his interview) if you’d told me a few years ago we wouldn’t be signing a single bonafide starting 11 player this window I’d have been shocked and bemused.

Barnes right is infinitely better than Murphy or Almiron starting.
