It's Quiet the £250m return

What’s everybody’s rating of the window.

I still find it bizarre that after 2 years we still don’t have an actual RB. Other than that I can’t complain. 7.5/10

Started off 9/10 with Reijnders/ Cherki and Ait-Nouri. Trafford is good too. But the outgoings have been meh.

RATING THE WINDOW AS IT IS NOW. If the window was shut, no more players in or out. Warning I’m pessimistic.

if the aim was to win the title and UCL as it used to be from 2018-2023, probably a 5/10, we’ve definitely gone backwards since the treble winning season, especially if Lewis and Trafford as starters. Imo we’re further from challenging for the league than we have been for years. Can’t remember the last time we were 4th favourites for the league title in August, probably 2010? Reijnders though, was an excellent signing. He has potential to be the best midfielder on the world couple years.

5 is crazyyyyy

Ait Nouri Cherki Reinjders are solid stars in the making.

But I understand you’re basing it on our peak years. Unfortunately times are changing and I had to face the music that we can’t fix all our issues in one summer.

Favourites doesn’t mean anything to me, being an underdog feels better. Especially with alot of new faces.

Spot on. Underdogs brings much less pressure :-)

As for our summer business for me it's currently a 7/10

8/10 if Donnarumma signs

10/10 if we sneak a RB through the door.

Cherki
Reijnders
Trafford
Ait-Nouri

All young and very exciting players. I for one am excited about the future.

Cherki and Trafford are gambles (more so than some transfers). It's questionable whether a club of our stature should be routinely buying players of the likes of Khusanov, Reis, Bah, Echeverri, Cherki, Trafford who represent significant acts of faith or hope. There is nothing wrong with research, but the balance of transfer spending by well resourced clubs should imo be towards proven talent particularly when a team is in transition. I will change my opinion on this window if we bring in Donnarumma but that looks unlikely now.

In part, I think we have been surprised by what Arsenal and Liverpool have done.
 
7.5/10 window. I like the signings we've made and think they either complement existing players, have high ceilings or both.

I think the keeper situation is a bit odd - and probably even odder if we get Donnarumma. I'm also not sure why we were after Livramento as he wasn't likely to leave. Other than that, lots of interesting options with the squad and hopefully won't be all crocked at the same time

Surprised by Liverpool signing Kerkez, Ekitike, Frimpong and Wirtz? It's not exactly out of this world is it? You say Cherki is a gamble what about paying 120m for Wirtz, is that not a bigger gamble?

Arsenal have done ok but so have we.

Think the Spurs result has had a massive effect on people's mental health ha.
 
1 loss and everyone is on here talking absolute nonsense.

Let's go back to the post match thread v Wolves haha.

Far too early to start saying Cherki, Reijnders and Ait Nouri are poor signings. When we put Haaland on that massive contract, it definitely had an impact into what we could spend this summer. Until we start getting rid of the big earners, we won't spend the money Arsenal and Liverpool are doing. Next summer will be interesting.
