What I Want To Know Is Why We Are The Only Team To Yet Make A Signing??!!

I remember when we went to newly promoted Hull, who had no manager, Jake Livermore at centre back and a load of kids on the bench, as reigning champions on the opening day and lost. I've seen very little from this team in the past nine months or so to give me the confidence that we're going to "walk" anyone.

Ugh such a grim memory.

 

We could tell something was horribly wrong based on that one game.

Dont think it's the same, we'd just spent the summer getting battered by european clubs and we'd lost arguably our most important player, in hindsight we were unprepared for facing a defensive side like hull. Going into west brom soyuncu, tielemans and castagne have all played well in the internationals, the rest of the team had a good warmup against lower quality opposition and i dont think west brom have the defensive grit to cause us any problems.

I think by the time the window closes, we'll have got all our targets in. Problem is the first 4 games. We have to win at least 6 points from them, ideally 9, in order not to collapse again. The team is mentally weak.

if finances were indeed really tight, we'd not have splurged £21.5m on a full back with just a year on his contract. As always he's been a long term target and we were in a position to get him for a price we deemed sensible (not sensible if very skint).

 

There will be movement next week, at least 1 more in and then a couple more by the close of the window.

Well not long before we sold a player for more than double that, so its actually a net intake of money rather than spending.

 

I would be very surprised if we have a net spend.

Quite similar then, we're without Evans, Ricardo and Madison.  On the plus side we have Amartey back.

If what we are reading from the french press is true and Fofana is on his way aside from the haggling over the final details of the deal then this thread title is starting to look a bit silly now.

No I believe Congers had simply forgotten the window was open, and this reminded him

Villa in talks with Rashica from Werder Bremen, good signing on the wing. Him along with El Ghazi and Trezeguet all better than our options!

The wait is over....

I like to look at this thread every few days and laugh at the impatience of the original poster.

How time flies when you're signing class players for fun.

The way some fans react you'd think Mike Ashley owns the club. There was never a need to doubt Top's intent or the scouting quality considering past track record.

Going backwards through this thread makes you realise how fickle, reactionary and emotionally brittle football fans are. From a disastrous situation with relegation ahead to one of our best ever transfer windows (when two of the signings haven’t played and one hasn’t even formally been announced) and a possible title challenge in the space of a couple of weeks!
