[Football] ***Summer ‘24 Transfer Window - Official Deadline Day Thread***

[chickens]

I’m happy with this transfer window. We’ve strengthened considerably, I’m (personally) happy with the squad for the nothing that’s worth.

WBG is a loss, and I will miss him, but I don’t feel we’re short in central midfield. I can understand him wanting to play at this stage in his career.

We’ve really tried to take a step forward. It may take time for us to gel into a team, but I don’t think that’s something that can be artificially rushed. I’m genuinely excited for this season to come.

Today may not turn out to be our finest hour, but at least Arteta won’t have been able to come up with a plan to combat our midfield pairing, because nobody outside our squad has the faintest idea of who’s going to play in CM today.

So Chelsea get a chunk of Sterling's eye-watering salary off the wage bill by sending him out on loan to Arsenal...

...and then Big Brain Todd spunks the money saved by taking on Sancho

Sterling to Arsenal

Any idea on the figures involved?

I can't believe Arsenal would be paying anything like the amount Chelsea were

Who is the most excited signing we’ve made this summer?

For me it’s Gruda

Gone off the radar a bit but listening to the German football expert on the Athletic preview of Brighton this season, he is one of three ‘great young German hopes’ to take their national team to the next level in the future.

We got him cheap because Mainz would not sell to another German team. I hope but doubt that he is fit today.

With an obligation to by next year when Sterling will be back, whilst still paying Sterling 50 percent and no loan fee

50 percent of his wages with no loan fee it seems
