It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Our transfer policy can be very frustrating for us as fans at times but it is important to remember that we usually land on our feet in these situations.

Still think Cucurella could have been great for us and will be very good for Chelsea, most likely

Agree to disagree I guess. I don't think our attack is stronger, we've added a number 9 but lost 2 very solid and useful profiles in Jesus and Sterling, plus overall depth of attack is also not that good. Midfield more or less the same. And backline weakened considering we did not rid of Aké to replace him, and did not address the left back spot as of yet. Could change by end of window but it has been a very average summer imo. I trust Pep and I hope he extends his contract soon to see the team go into next phase. My expectations will lower if we go in as it is and I do not see us winning anything noteworthy.

To call it a ‘very average summer’ I think you are taking a pretty pessimistic view.

We’ve signed one of the two most exciting forwards in world football. Replaces Sterling in the squad for arguments sake.

We’ve signed a promising Argentine who on initial viewing looks like he’s got a similar appetite and hunger as Gabby.

We’ve replaced an aging Fern with a lad who has good PL experience, is coming into his prime and was keen to join us and us only.

We’ve signed a more reliable back up keeper.

I’m as concerned as most that we’ve not got a full back in as yet but hopefully that will be addressed before the end of the window.

For periods on here for the last few years the three who have left have been consistently criticised for their output or lack of consistency - now that they’ve left they’ve suddenly been given deity-like status.

A refresh of the squad is probably for the best. Other than LB the general thinning of bodies concerns me as well - if McAtee gets his loan that will only really leave us with Wilson-Esbrand, Mbete, Palmer and Delap to beef up the bench, particularly when there are any injuries.

Apologies for a bit of a ramble but I think any of our potential options for LB would be good to get nailed down, other than that we have a fabulous squad of the highest quality.

I also don’t believe that Pep is ‘left hanging’ by the rest of the management team with a ‘light’ squad, I don’t think you get the best manager in the world then try and make his job harder. He will be aware of everything that is going on.

In the course of my job, I've had the "pleasure" of meeting a man with four toes. Not four toes on one foot but only four toes! I don't know why he told me this information and I haven't a clue how he walks with only four toes. I'd think it would be difficult.

And don't feel sorry for him. He's a right dick!

Apparently, you only need your big toes for walking. That surprised me I must admit.
