Guest firetotheworks Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 People always ask for threads to be locked, like. Unless there's already a thread for it or it's NWOAT it never happens.

Rossi did his ACL again last spring. Hasn't he suffered enough!!!! he'd have undoubtedly died in some gruesome fashion had he chosen to play for us. I fully expect something horrible to happen to Pulisic. Don't even joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 We did some good things, just not nearly enough of them. Massively frustrating and can only hope it doesn't bite us in the arse, whether that's by being in a relegation battle or ensuring the manager decides prospects are better elsewhere.

We did good things but even in signing Lejeune it was because he had a release clause. Had he not had a clause, no way would we have paid what he's worth. Merino is an excellent signing but we couldn't even afford to stump up 6m or whatever this summer. It's all very embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hardly ever go out and buy a player because it's position we need to fill and just say lets get the best player we can for that position. It's always finding out who's out of favour, has a release clause etc. It's pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Bare in mind Merino looks like he could be our new Cabaye, and Lejuene was poached for a cheap-ish buy out fee. Would people rate this window better had we spend 12 mil on Merino instead of a loan, and got Lejuene in for upwards of 12mil aswell. The window was a disappointment in the fact we only got 6 players, yet no LB, no# 10 or striker. But if we had bought those two and had an outlay of 50mil instead of 35mil, would people be happier? Sometimes I feel like our NET spend dictates our effective transfer business to much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 There would still be huge gaps in the squad and a lack of quality so I doubt anyone would think any differently I appreciate that, but all I see on twitter is our 11 million NET spend. As if that automatically means our acquisition of players like Merino was pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 No. Before the window opened everyone had their own opinion but a common thread was that we needed a LB, #10 and GK. I think they were the positions most people thought that we needed to strengthen, maybe striker too, and we've completely failed in all of them. Merino is a great addition and I think Lejeune will turn out to be a shrewd purchase but the two of them are nowhere near the business we needed to do to make sure we had a competitive squad.

Guest Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Net spend is crap these days. Everton's would have pretty much been nil had Barkley not cancelled last minute but they'd have had a superb window. Huddersfield and Brighton's seems high because they had no one to sell, low wages etc so could afford to spend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if that automatically means our acquisition of players like Merino was pointless. It's pointing the finger at us having money to spend and not doing so where it's needed. It's the easiest thing to point at because it's so obvious considering the spending of other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
