 I think some have convinced themselves that literally anything would be an improvement on Almiron/Murphy, which is totally detached from reality. 

...So are you saying Chiesa wouldn't have been up upgrade?

We apparently approached him early in the summer and were told he was only interested in European football.

Thought we were resigning him for a second 😵

He's been in the job five minutes. He'll be on watching breif for the time being.

Doesn't have to have been in the job to know good CB's/ RW's - we all could have scouted Marc Guehi as an option.

70m and has never played European football.

 

 

Wor Mandy would have had a deal done by now for half that price

Has someone nicked his contacts book?

£70 mil - surely we could have spent that on a CB and a RW?

He wanted to leave and had a release clause. 

Did he have a release clause?  Still gutting nonetheless - and Arsenal of all teams

That could be sorted in January for them…

 

 

Isak can't have been impressed with our lack of transfer business - if we're not in the mix for CL you could be right

Gutting - really gutting. Sad we kept the likes of Hayden and sold him.

I find it hard to believe if we don't sign anyone this week that anyone can think this transfer window has been a success - if anything we are weaker.  Yes Tonali is coming back but he's not played for a year so it's going to take time for him to get match fit again.

Why can't we be in for him?

Thing is their egos are looking like they're going to be very bruised regardless of what happens now:

 

We chase him for 5 weeks and still don't land him - they look stupid

 

We eventually close the deal but we end up overpaying and caving in to Palace's demands - they look weak

100% - the whole transfer window is looking a bit of a shambles

That make us the lowest spending club in the league this summer ?

We're the richest club in the world did you say?

Depressing as at that price he was attainable.  I love Pope but this guy would be an upgrade.
