Genuinely very hard to get better than what we've got. That’s fair although a shame to end the window with all that money burning a hole in your pocket when there are some better players out there .... next summer we will also hopefully have the draw of the training ground - trick will be to hang onto the stars we still have !!

Perhaps we were actually counting on it to fund those purchases though and there is no more in the kitty. Unlikely but we are already committed to the training ground and possible stadium expansion so we cannot just go spending £100M's willy nilly without getting some cash back in
North Leeds Fox Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Guess one positive is that after we have hopefully cleared some players to Europe, we will have broke even and can put money to the training ground
fazzyfox Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Hope for 1 more Think there will be no more! We must remember Tielemans wasn't ours until now, you can easily think of it as half a signing, a continuation of his stay, etc but no, he was a bonus loan signing when he first came with the uninvolved Silva going the other way, we've had to find the money and ongoing salary package for him and added to Praet, Perez and Justin makes four rock solid useful signings to affect the first 18 week in week out and lost two or three (Harry and Shinji and to a degree Simpson). It's very hard to better what we have in the first team but with others spending and improving you wonder have we done enough? Maybe another winger hasn't been a priority so it's just that CB area, the fact that the club asked about Tarkovski and Dunk suggests making Soyuncu step up was not plan "A". At this stage it looks unlikely, we're undeniably weaker at CB but stronger elsewhere, I'd be happier with another CB coming in and had hopes of a Zaha too but the real success is keeping the majority of our existing talents here. We'll see if any go abroad now before totalling up the numerical balance but of Mendy, Silva, Slimani, Kaputska and Diabate we'd probably be left one DM short if they all go.

fazzyfox Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 S**t it's almost that time when that Ryan Swansong bloke comes on and explains the Deal Sheet as if he's speaking to a hard of hearing, foreign pensioner..."Deal sheet....you fill it in....name.....clubs....fee...." and we still haven't got a CB. I wouldn't mind if we'd never looked at one but the fact we did and didn't get one, oh hang on here he comes, patronising t**t
Lesta2014 Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 I expected us to be linked to at least one new name today! Happy with what we have i just like a transfer rumour and a new signing!
STUHILL Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Hopefully Ashley and LinekerApples can give us some insight into what was going on to suggest that there may have been a lot of exciting activity today. Obviously hasn't come close to those predictions but I do think there was reason for them to suggest as such and so curious to know how/why this didn't come to fruition
lcfcell Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Nice one @LinekersApples I’ll never look at an apple the same now.

Doesn't mean that they didn't quote us a premium. It's all guess work, but I'm not currently bothered by the sheer fact I'm not panicking excessively because we didn't sign every single available player in the window.

Watford not exactly peasants though are they..TV money plus Richarlison 35m last year
Le4fox Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Deals could still have been completed in time and announcement to come. Well I hope so or its been quite underwhelming in the end and turns out we've only really spent 5 mil
L3n9a Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 And there we go, nothing but bullsh*t all summer from LinekersApples. Really do have to be a sad individual to do what has been doing all summer😆

Maybe there's just a limit in how much we'd actually like to spend.
