Fati to Brighton and Lenglet to Aston Villa. When is deadline day this year. Friday. Lenglet wouldn’t get a game for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we should’ve went for they players but there are definitely players with the same background etc available that we could look at to beef up the squad.

I personally think we're done in the market. However I'd be happy with this guy as signing based on watching him tonight, seems to be quite effective at creating chances, not so fussed with beating someone but instead make space to play the ball in. Good little player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It does seem like we haven't done as well as others in this transfer market, we still have positions that we need to improve on yet we went and signed youngsters with potential.

Geordie Boyo Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I do think we’ve done really well. It’s just gonna take a bit of time to gel the new additions and get the best out of them. It’s been that way with most players we’ve brought in. It’s never been about how many we can get, but to buy the right players in the right position. There is still room for improvement, but I’m sure once those new players have really settled into playing we will show we’re a stronger team than last season. Come January we’ll likely be able to bring in a RW and RCB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking Brighton arguably look weaker coming out of the window than going in. As for West Ham, I'm not sure any of their signings would be a good fit for us, maybe Kudus. Did Villa do much other than Torres and Diaby? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Love our business personally, we are building for the long term.

Definitely, it’s frustrating but I also understand the frustration as well. The market is so distorted with other teams spending huge sums without issue. Hopefully those who aren’t happy with our business go take a look back at the state of the squad pre takeover and understand how far we’ve come. When you step back it’s truly breathtaking what we’ve achieved in such a short space of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I get the frustration. Some teams can strengthen every area they want. Spending massive fees along the way. Arsenal, Chelsea, Villa. Whether you like the signings or not they have been able to move as they want. We haven’t been able to do that. We are having to choose 1 from LB, RW AND RCB to strengthen. But people, including our fans still expect us to compete with Chelsea and Villa and probably finish above them both. They have injuries but Aston Villa have 5 ‘quality’ CBs in name at least. We have 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you step back it’s truly breathtaking what we’ve achieved in such a short space of time. It is distorted but the teams mentioned above (villa/brighton/west ham... not even bothering to debate chelsea) have all had massive sales to fund their windows so they're able to go out and do business with a hell. of a lot more wiggle room than ourselves. Like you say, what we've achieved so far is outstanding and for me that includes each window we've had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
