This.I'm a massive cynic and if I'm one of our rivals to go down I’m putting some heavy challenges in on Neves & Joao…
One has to be Jeff Shi. He must be the only person left with any confidence in him.It amazes me that two people voted 10!
3 people now and without seeing the results I bet I could guess themIt amazes me that two people voted 10!
Superb analysis.Positives
- Trincao and Ait-Nouri are great signings
- Keeping Adama and Neves
- Mosquera looks as if he has something about him (albeit he is very raw)
Neutral
- Sa for Patricio. Handling and shot-stopping isn’t as good as Rui but his distribution and command of his area is better. Not much change in the beard department.
- Hwang-Hee. Just because I have no real idea how good he is.
Negatives
- Haven’t backed the Manager with the profile of player he wanted and gave to the recruitment team. As shown by the last-ditch attempts for Botman, Caleta-Car, Sanches, Kamara and Kieffer Moore, we were in for a new CB, CM and CF and got none over the line.
- Having three senior midfielders in the squad is simply ridiculous.
- Still haven’t brought a clear improvement at CB or CM since our first Premier League game.
- Huge erosion of goodwill and trust amongst the fanbase having been told to trust the club and wait until the end of the window before judging.
Ultimately, a 4 or 5 out of 10. The good work we did do undermined by a shambles of a last 48 hours.
We sacked the best Manager of the last 40 years and haven’t backed our new man to give him the best chance of succeeding with us. A real shame as the early signs are that he is worth backing.
Not sure you'll be holding that position when you keep witnessing us collapsing in the last 15 minutes until we eventually lose heart and crumble OR you're watching a CM pairing of Dendoncker and Saiss!I’ve gone for a 6, I think we’ve signed some good players, there’s only really Rui who has left who I was sad to see go, but I really wish we’d have been a bit more decisive yesterday and got a midfielder and even a defender in. Like Tring says it’s not a complete disaster but it could have been so much better.
We were close to that injury on Ruben against Manure.This.
I'm absolutely distraught at the prospect of facing Burnley now, given how vulnerable we are to getting a long-term injury to Ruben or João.
Whatever good has been done by the club during the window has been completely undermined by the criminally negligent way CM has been neglected.
I am left having to hope against hope that the club have their eyes on a free agent who can come in and mitigate this utter cluster**** of a situation to some extent.
If Pod and Boly come back fully fit, unlike last season, that would be very positive I agree. I also agree about MGW, particularly as SheffU is a major downgrade on last season's Swansea loan.5 -6 happy with the players we did sign happy neves and adama are still here
Disappointed that MGW went out on loan thought we’d bring in at least one yesterday. excited to see what hwang and yerson can do.
We have Podence and Boly coming back now and Neto to add to the squad later
