That was back when we bid for players purely for show. Got the Carroll money in and knew they had to at least make it look like they tried. Just went with the player they knew wasn't for sale and, in the unlikely event of the bid actually being accepted, wasn't interested in coming anyway.

sushimonster85 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I know they're generally canny, but you can't take the Sky lads (Keith and Pete) seriously today. Everything they put out today is designed to drive you to Sky Sports News, which curiously seems far more ad heavy today for some reason..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Yeah it’s just typical deadline day shenanigans so far, vague stuff to string the fans along until midnight tonight. If there’s anything of substance happening we should hear about it within an hour or two, if not I’d say that’s that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Oh well… Good window which I would give a 7/10 rating. Some very good deals done but also failed to strengthen our priority wide position and CM. Still very happy overall. One more quality player in and it would be a 9. Or 9.5/10 window.

Happinesstan Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Pope, Botman and Isak, for a combined £90 million [not forgetting securing Targett] is 10/10 for where we are right now. Don't care what anybody says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I think I'd give the window an 8/10 if it stays like this. Targett was a must really given his performances last season. Botman was a huge signing and shows that we're competing for some of the best up-and-coming talent in Europe. Nick Pope has proved to be an outstanding signing and should be our keeper for years and years to come. I would have given the window a 6/10 but I never thought we'd be able to land Isak. That elevates it to an 8/10 for me. I know we're still massively weak in certain areas but it can't all be done in one or two windows. The signings we have made are all very high quality with potential for Botman and Isak to get better and better. One thing I would have liked would have been to move on more dead wood and bring in a few pragmatic signings but it just shows how terrible our wider squad is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
