Whitley mag Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 We’ve given ourselves a great chance. Regardless of another attacking option, if we can’t stay up after spending 90 million serious questions will be asked of Howe. We’ve signed an England right back and world class midfielder. The other additions are solid and I think Burn will surprise people, his stats for Brighton are impressive. We’re up against 3 teams we should now be finishing above, barring a complete injury crisis of epic proportions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lined up our shots and took them, ultimately just the wrong targets in the end, striker-wise anyway. Happy enough with the rest of our work, but ultimately that is a big hole left in the team.

Yes it could've been better but it wasn't helped by Sevilla, Lille and Man U being twats. Just spent 90 million quid but last summer we wouldn't pay a loan fee for Hamza Choudhury ffs. I know there's some divvy's among our support but I hope it's not something that's going to become a common theme. I don’t get this point of view. You judge each situation on it’s own merits. I don’t constantly judge and assess my current partner based on my ex. Equally, I wouldn’t put up with my job being crap if my previous one was even shitter. Aye, if we still had Ashley it’s incomprehensible how bleak the current season would be. But we don’t have Ashley, had a balance of £100m+ to play with and it’s okay to step back and say “maybe we could have spent that a bit better in some places, or made that deal sooner, or did this rather than that”. Hopefully it’s enough. Really excited by the potential of the summer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoOGazOoO Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm slightly nervous that the only 'striker' we have in the door is Chris Wood. We've clearly strengthened defence and added quality in the midfield, in Bruno. But I am nervous about the striking situation, especially when it's goals we need.

Alberto2005 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 A bit disappointed we didn't get Lingard/another attacking player. It's still fresh but after a few days I think I'll realise it was a decent window. Don't forget the teams around us have done nothing in comparison. Watford have signed a bunch of nobodies, Burnley have probably improved their striker but nothing else and Norwich are as shit as before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Decent window I think, strengthened postions that needed it and got a back up striker in better than all the other No.2 strikers around us. We were also trying extremely hard on some class players, so hopefully we stay up and summer comes and we can do the same again and completely transform the team with players like Botman, Carlos and whoever else we might be looking at. Lingard would have a great not to finish on, but if we can get the original promising looking Miggy back and Willock even close to his loan spell, there's going to be alot of fun until the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 That we started the day with 3 players already due to sign by all accounts, and yet look to be ending it with only 2 is a disappointing way to end the window. That Chris Wood is our only attacking addition scares me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
