Burnley may look like a step back in comparison, but they have a decent team, a solid unit, and if he can help them creating more chances, then fair play. I wish him well and that he gets more minutes under his belt, lad deserves more time on the pitch. Hopefully, he'll silence his critics once and for all. He’s useless, he won’t. £35m - I’m still laughing!!!

MC Prussian Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 £8m for David Luiz. Bargain? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49275919

Did they sense the teams creeping up behind them and find money down the back of the sofa?
StriderHiryu Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 As it stands you could make a compelling case to say Arsenal had the best transfer window in the Premier League. Their squad still has issues, but I feel like they've tried to address several key areas, have got in some pretty good players and through some "creative" accounting have not had to make any massive outlays. Additionally they didn't lose any of their key players. Of the top 6, as it stands I think Man United and Chelsea are the teams that can be got at. Man U brought two excellent defenders, but their attacking play lacks finesse. I assumed they didn't go for Tielemans because they had Bruno Fernandes lined up, but now they have neither I would say our midfield is much better than theirs. Selling Lukaku also seems odd to me, as he has a better scoring record than Rashford and Martial. I'm a bit surprised deadline day has been so quiet in general. Yesterday it seemed like it was going to be a manic one, but most clubs have massively dialled back their plans it seems. 1
yorkie1999 Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 I'm surprised Man utd haven't signed a striker or any midfielders.
jammie82uk Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 I see Charlie Austin’s passed both his medicals then
Xen Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 1 hour ago, Samilktray said: I would honestly prefer to rot in Chelsea’s reserves picking up 100k a week having a good time in London than to go and play for Burnley He still lived up in Cheshire, so he wasnt even living the supposed 'London lifestyle'. It's a loan deal so he'll still be being paid 100k a week regardless, and now that the team he plays for is up north his commute is even shorter (not that he'd be driving anytime soon... :ph34r: ) Its the difference between travelling across the country every other day for meaningless training sessions and gym work, or actually being a part of something and contributing.

Suzie the Fox Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Watford sign Sarr for club record fee of £35m. 😪
Guest Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 3 hours ago, Babylon said: Drinkwater to Burnley... how the mighty have fallen. Not at all. Some supporters really get rusty, he's not Mahrez you know Austin to West Brom is good for both. Sessegnon to Spurs is being overplayed. He had a poor season in the prem, let's wait until he's seen as a replacement for FBs leaving this summer. We were only being used in the Sarr negotiations
Dan Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 I reluctantly agree about the top six, they've clawed it back somewhat in this window while we've now really improved as much as I thought we would. I maintain Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal could all go pear shaped this year but I rate that as less likely than I did about three weeks ago. Man Utd's attack is horrible mind. I can't see them scoring too many.
Popular Post Bobby Hundreds Posted 8 August 2019 Popular Post Posted 8 August 2019 David Luiz is exactly the sort of player you'd need to sort out a car crash defence. 5

That is a lot of money for a largely unproven player with a clumsy touch on first inspection. I think Perez at 30m is a better signing for this upcoming season, even if Sarr might ultimately go on to become the better player and sold for more money. We already have two "prospects" in wide areas in Barnes and Gray. If we were going to buy another, it should have been on someone that can make the difference right now. And who knows we might have done that already in our other signings. I think a lot of FT regulars feel a bit deflated today, but that's only because someone got everyone's hopes up! I think overall we've had a really good window, signed some great players and our performances have been great. I am really, really looking forward to kick-off on Sunday!
Samilktray Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Man Utd’s attack definitely looks a lot worse off without Lukaku

All in all we have had a great window and I for one am really looking forward to Sunday. Praet will be the icing on the cake for me.

Popular Post Beechey Posted 8 August 2019 Popular Post Posted 8 August 2019 (edited) Every journalist on Sky seems to think Everton have done amazing business. I really don't see it. They've signed a 19 year old striker who has scored 11 goals over 2 seasons, replaced their DM (4.3 tackles/90') with a worse DM (1.6 tackles/90'), purchased a loanee (1 g, 1 a), bought an okay RB and bought Fabian goddamn Delph. Edited 8 August 2019 by Beechey 6
Guest ttfn Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 In a summer of bonkers transfer fees Everton paying £40m for Alex Iwobi has to be the most bonkers of them all.
Mike Oxlong Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Things Danny Drinkwater didn’t say 1. I want to leave Leicester to further my career by playing for Burnley on loan 2. Just a glass of water please barman
