They’ll be in for haaland next summer offering more wages and agent fees than we will as per trust me

Will be glad when this transfer window shuts, it’s been a complete shit show especially when you take into consideration we spent 100mil on a position we’re already stacked in and the lad isn’t world class (yet).

Our striking hopes now lie in the hands of an unproven 20 year old, if Pep even plays him!

Another meek title defence beckons. It appears that the execs have learnt nothing from previous windows after winning the title.

If you're talking about Delap then you're not going to be happy that he's only 18 ;)

Who gives a flying fuck about that hypocrite spout off. The guy lost any credibility when he moaned about high spending clubs, then went on to record spend.

He's a wanker, 1st class.

I agree but I think he was right that whoever bought CR was doing it as a short term thing and not something to set up the side for the future... Call it sour grapes or a sly dig but I make him right (for once)

Again not the point. They have to pay the debt instalments which must impact on the club

debt is part of busness, it is only an issue if you can't make payments, they clearly can.

Just like the rags, real etc
 
you can guarantee we will be investigated for FFP again and the rags who are debt ridden get away with. Football is bent as fuck now.

The funny thing is we will still win the league this season, you can quote me on that in April.

It would have suited us. Grealish, KDB, Mahrez are three of the best midfielders in the world. We would have put chances on a plate for him. At man utd they have 1 creative player in Fernandes and Pogba blows very hot and very cold. He'll have to do more to get chances. Their future is Greenwood and TRashford but they face being marginalised now.
 
People here still going on about the rags and the media against us nada nada. I don't give a flying fuck about anyone right now. We absolutely need a striker and we haven't got one with 4 days to go. We should have done the Kane deal before getting Grealish imo. It's going to be a tough season. I am not particularly bothered by us not getting Ronaldo but more bothered by the fact that we have no proper #9. I think we are done in this window and that would be hugely underwhelming. We do have a habit of messing up transfer windows right after winning the league except 2018/19.

Pep clearly wanted Kane at all costs, it looks like the club did not feel the same.

Someone has messed up badly, we have had a transfer window when our wealth, position and power should have gives us a huge advantage.

As it is, Chelsea and the Rags have strengthen significantly, we have missed a great opportunity to remain dominant.

Not for the first time.

Or the second.

People can say what they want about Gary Cooke but he knew his way around a transfer negotiation: Agree a budget, Identify targets within the budget, Sign targets. Done.
Would these guys have signed David Silva for 24m? Sergio for 38m? Yaya for 24m? Tevez for free? No I don’t think they would. They would have offered 15m for D Silva and “walked away”.

This summer we spent 100m on a player who may well become a great but is currently unproven above Championship level and only got him because he had a release clause.

Whigh was the greater priority? A striker or yet another midfielder for a team that already has Bernardo, Foden,Fernandinho,KDB, Jesus, Sterling, Torres,Mahrez?

The minute we spent 100m on Jack the price of ANY striker we go for increased by 50m. You get your priority signing done first and then go back with the release clause for Jack if you decide you still want him.

It is transfer 101.

The richest club in the world cannot afford a striker in the most depressed transfer market for years. Shameful.

We may get lucky with injuries and get away with it this year but we would need extraordinary luck in order to win the league again.

Chelsea have strengthened quietly and efficiently.
Liverpool wont be as unlucky with injuries again.
United have their best squad in a decade.
City have further strengthened their rivals by not strengthening themselves.

Amateurish and arrogant in equal measure.
 
Not gonna lie, regardless of the outcome. This thread has been brilliant. My company will be happy there’s a fuckin end to this transfer window though!

Indeed.

I'm putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5.

Pep got wind of him coming and told the board he's gone at the end of his contract should they continue to sign him. Khaldoon knows he isn't bluffing and pulls it.

As a positive he joins the scum ans even PiGMOL can't help them without making it look too obvious as the other egos start knocking down the chief execs door demanding pay rises or downing tools.

Agree but still think it's great, if expensive PR from the rags.
