Guest Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 29 minutes ago, Holmesy said: I said yesterday that I’m fairly underwhelmed and would have liked us to have done more, not in terms of the quality we’ve brought in, but the numbers. And I stand by it. But when the season starts, I’ll be fully behind the team as always. It’s just my opinion. It might be a shit one, but it’s mine. The outrage it caused was ridiculous though. People were genuinely up in arms! I think "3 key squad players net" was always likely. Not counting people like Darlow, Lewis or Ashby in that. One more centre-back takes us to that with 4 in and Maxi out. Like ponsaelius mentioned, if we get a taker for Targett we'd likely look at another left-back too to keep us at that. We could sell Dubravka and Manquillo without the need to replace as well imo as long as we get Livramento. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It's almost like you can't judge the transfer window until after it's closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Would have been 10/10 if we’d got McTominay over the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Does the September 1st deadline also apply to non-UEFA leagues? Just got visions of the Euro Leagues deadline passing then Saudi running riot hoovering up a load of players and clubs being able to do bot all about it.

Decky Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Would loved to have got a real quality RW and LB but if we get a CB then we’ve done very well this window. Could still maybe sort a loan to buy deal late on who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 As many have said, ideally we’d bring in a top class left-back and an elite right winger (on top of the Livramento and cb we’ll hopefully be signing) but that’d cost close to a 100m and possibly take our spending past the 250m mark for the window. Seems a bit greedy/ entitled to be disappointed if that doesn’t happen tbh . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Having listened to enough of Eddie talking in press conferences I’m fairly confident we will see Liveamento plus one more for certain Edited August 4, 2023 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. They would only sell him to us at an extortionate price. He is contracted until 2025, it depends if he sees his future at Chelsea or he’s been sold the dream of competing for first choice left back with us .

gazza ladra Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Turns out selling Shelvey and not getting a replacement didn’t hurt us at all last window. The club knows what they are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club knows what they are doing. We were lucky the season wasn’t even a game longer. Our midfield at the end of the season had Bruno hobbling every game, Longstaff crocked, Willocks hamstring gone, Big Joey had an injury. We were literally down to playing Anderson and Gordon in the midfield. We would have dropped some points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
