Sean Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Not gonna happen but I'd love it if we just said fuck this league and their rules and cartels and FFP and went out and bought all the players. Teilemans, Haidara, Harrison, Pedro etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krabbe2 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Have witnessed the air go out of the team in 2 games now after 60 min. (City and Liverpool) Good teams, but this can happen against other clubs too and away to Brighton we were lucky. The squad as it stands today offers no new strings to play from the bench. Based on injury history, we can never count on all players being fit 100% of the time. The Right Wing has been a hole from day 1 and I will be somewhat disappointed if no attempt is made here to bring someone in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying waiting on news and seeing there have been new posts and it's just people continuing to repeat that. Seriously what is the point? It’s people giving their opinion what’s going to happen. It’s happened the whole way thru the window. You yourself yesterday posted saying you think we will sign pedro and I think tielemans?

ponsaelius Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If Dubs, Longstaff and Fede are all out and we're not registering Krafth and Shelvey then I make that two free spaces? Maybe we'll register Shelvey in the hope he gets fit again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Anyone think when everyone is fit the front 3 being ASM, Wilson & Isak that Howe might put Almiron in the midfield if we don’t get one in that is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 2 minutes ago, Rich said: The ideal window was definitely us getting a CM and winger in on top of everything else we've done. That was always the case, for me. However, we're a far better team than I thought we would be already, so I wouldn't be surprised if Howe was a lot more relaxed about the squad than some of us are. The fact we're still clearly active in the market is a good thing, as if anything does come up due to other moves or circumstances then we'll be ready for it. Any business at all is definitely a bonus. Aye I think the reason why some people are disappointed is we did not improve the area we expected. However to be honest signing Isak probably matters much more than just upgrade the CM and RW positions. Botman also proven to be a great signing as well. Overall we have had an excellent window by signing two key players that secures our future 5-6 seasons’ competitiveness. Howe / PIF probably got it right tbh. Just that we aren’t patient enough when watching the likes of Wood Murphy ruining our campaign this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll register Shelvey in the hope he gets fit again. If the expectation is Shelvey only gets back post-WC, he’ll be registered for a max of 3 games - Leicester (A), Leeds (H), Arsenal (A) before the window reopens. Presuming at that point players can start to be cycled back into the 25 man squad as needed until the end of January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been no update since Howe first said he would be registered if the initial 12 week prognosis was correct, so we have to assume that’s still the plan.

Nine Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Considering how the squad looked 9 months ago I think it’s harsh to say anyone can be rightly disappointed. Can’t do it all in 2 windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 This window, we have: Permanently filled the left back hole we had with a player we all trust Signed one of the league’s best goalkeepers Signed a young centre half that Maldini really wanted - huge scope for improvement Signed the best young striker outside of the Champions League This is in addition to two elite players signed in January. without really understanding the budgets I would never call not signing one more ‘a mistake’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 still think we’ll do a bit of business today. but regardless, it’s been a fantastic window for us all things considered. and that’s coming from someone who had a new CM top of their wish list. got to give Howe, the owners and all of the staff a lot of credit. we’ve strengthened the first team significantly, and made some top signings, both in terms of ability and character.
