6 players in, huge amount spent. We’ve had a fantastic window.

Isco to Union Berlin.

Trouble maker, well avoided*

*unless we hijack it at the last minute, in which case, great experience to add to the squad, just look at his trophy cabinet!

There are no players on the picket line!

It’s been a good window. However we still haven’t addressed our goal scoring issues. Quite concerning to be honest.

Cunha and Sarabia have been brought in to solve that. There is absolutely zero to be concerned about.

While a new striker would have been great, some of the names we've been linked with have left me cold, Ings (always injured), Wood, Antonio, all past it and not that good in the first place.
As to whether or not we've addressed our goal scoring issues? We will see, I'm hopeful Cunha, Sarabia and Podence can sort it out.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

I’m sure it’s just me but I’ve never got the love in for Conor Gallagher, he’s just one of those old school busy English midfielders who folk seem to love. He just reminds me of a Jack Russell chasing a tennis ball

That's exactly what my missus family (all Chelsea STH's) described him as

I think he falls in that list of English players folks want to do well but I just don’t see it and certainly not at £40 million. he’s just a 90s football throwback.

 

[WolfLing]

They are being addressed every day, just by having a proper manager in charge.

10 in 9, including blanks against a United, Liverpool and City, compared to 11 in 17 previous to Lopetegui.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Only four “Proper centre forwards” (whatever they are in the modern game) have more than 10 goals in the premier league this season and two of them (Toney and Mitrovic) would be on 7 and 6 from open play. There’s this myth that centre forwards are back in premier league football when realistically the only two great ones are Haaland who is a freak of nature and Harry Kane who’s been the best British one in a quarter of a century.

 

[NothingButNeto]

Antonio starting for West Ham in the FA Cup. Probably safe to say he’s staying put for the rest of the season.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

I can't tell you not to worry, as that is your own decision. However, personally, I try not to fret over things that I have no control over. Besides which, we have spent some serious money on established players. Whether or not it is sufficient, is what will make the rest of the season "interesting" (to say the least).

Homegrown as well I believe, could be a good move for them.

I suspect it's all going to kick off tomorrow, so many teams still trying to do business.

Just the sort of striker we need. Could be a fantastic bit of business for Southampton that.

SBK, re. your comment "Proper centre forwards"and whatever they are in the modern game, I believe that they are now called "Big No. 9's"

 

[JOSWolf]

Should be all over Dembele for that price. Low risk, potentially huge upside. 20 goals in Ligue 1 last season.

Bang on Tring!

 

[NothingButNeto]

If Gomes is the last signing of the window, I do hope that Chiquinho’s spot has been saved of that of Sasa. I really thought this was going to be his season and I’d love to see what he can do for us on the RW.

Oh, Rennais.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Dembele fails the “no ********” policy by quite a distance. Literally kicked up a fuss at every club he’s been at to get away, they’re always happy to be shot of him

Forest about to come that much more unlikeable....

Seems like we don’t need a no ******** policy anymore… Forest are just snapping them all up just in case we ever got tempted.

Yeh just like we have.

And would trust JLo over Yank Lampard and Gary O'Neil tbh

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

It's not the quantity or the cash that matters we urgently need a forward that scores goals and we haven't bought one so fantastic it certainly isn't.

 

[Skrilla]

Very true! Just saying, I think it's going to be a proper relegation battle. No side is taking this lying down, even Bournemouth and Southampton have splashed in this window. I'm happy with our window, but would obviously love if we could get a striker over the line tomorrow to ease my fears about our lack of goals.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Hes rejected it anyway, ie connor gallagher

Everton fans will probably accost him outside training spitting 'Lad, lad, lad, lad, lad, lad, lad, come here lad, be a legend lad, lad, lad, lad' at him

 

[AndyWolves]

I predict one more loan out and one more to come in

 

[NothingButNeto]

I predict one more loan out and one more to come in

Is that based on anything?

I think Hodge goes out on loan given our new depth in midfield (never thought I’d say that) but TBD.

I hate to agree with you over Horseface Kane though....

We're following 1,880 yesterday and 1,876 today, plus a healthy chunk of male intuition

So in answer to your question, absolutely nothing

 

[MasWolf]

Anyone else seen this Vitinha guy from Braga that Southampton are signing? He seems incredible! I wonder why we haven't bid for him.

 

[ombyman]

are we the team signing Ayew? (or is it Forest)

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Besides which, we have spent some serious money on established players. Whether or not it is sufficient, is what will make the rest of the season "interesting" (to say the least).

It's a good philosophy, but I am afraid I am not wired that way. Don't like 'interesting' and scary', prefer 'predictable but safe'.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

With the Porro deal back on, Doherty’s is surely leaving Spurs tomorrow. 3rd choice then.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Cunha and Sarabia have been brought in to solve that. There is absolutely zero to be concerned about.

Cunha a striker?? He looks more of a winger to me. Okay we should be starting him with Raul but Podence is in form and Sarabia is meant to be better than anything we have. Formation and selection is going to be interesting going forward. I hope we solve our issues soon.
