[Football] Transfer Deadline Day

[deslynhamsmoustache1]

Are we the bloke dashing down the local Esso just before closing on Christmas Eve desperate for a pressie for the missus, or have we thought "**** it - I can't be arsed any more" and have flaked out on the sofa with a crate of Stella?

And thus guaranteeing no leg over the Christmas table, or in footballing terms no leg up the table.

He just tweeted that he believes that's it for ins.Might still be a couple out. I thought we'd definitely add at least one option up front, but to have one LESS is f***ing lunacy.

Yay, looks like another season ...

Dire nature, really?
Would it be nice to have brand new forward to chip in with 15 a season, yes. Will I be cursing the club or Dan Ashworth// Paul Barber/ Tony Bloom and questioning their abilities if one doesn’t sign - no.
We are stronger than this time last season, the future is positive new forward or not

I am doing no such thing re: the staff of the club. I am suggesting they've made a terrible piece of business should we not have a striker lined up ready to announce. They've made terrible business before. They're human.

So far, this looks very worrying and entirely avoidable. Everyone and his dog, from the media, the OPTA analysts down to fans of this and other clubs can see we need a striker. Ideally two.

Instead, we have two less than we had, after losing Zeqiri and Andone. Three if you include Sima.

If we were after Gonzalez and then Nunez, to clear out Zeqiri and buy in an unproven prospect who we then move out to Stoke on loan, shows that we’ve failed on the striker front. Other signings have been decent and retaining Bissouma is great news. I’d give the total transfer window a score of 5/10 but much of that score is retaining Bissouma.

It's not a disaster if we don't sign a striker, but in the round five PL seasons which include the write-offs of Andone and Locadia, the change of Muzza from first team to squad to first team, the weight of goal scoring on the shoulders of a young Championship striker in Maupay....we have been skating on the kind of ice that sits just above the relegation water line and we have done so in part because we have not been successful in recruiting the right strikers.

We've retained Maupay. Or have I missed something?

Andone... Edited.

 

[Captain Sensible]

I’m not looking too deeply into this transfer window, but you would expect a bit more in terms of forward signings especially with the 50m for white. It’s not as if we have an u23 Goalscorer pushing for a 1st team start.

Maupay's gone? Blimey, that went under the radar.

..... as did that desperate, panic stricken, last minute edit!

Bit late there fella. But give it a few hours, I'm sure the club can make it happen.

Indeed we have. Haven't you heard? It's all everyone is talking about round our way.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Splash the cash and go for Jesse Lingard.
Be a great number 10 for us and knows the club already

That must be it now. If we were doing anything else then some details would have leaked from somewhere, even if it was just a rumour

Unfortunately I agree. Let's just hope Maupay and Welbeck stay fit this season.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Why couldn't we have waited until January to send Andone or Zeqiri or Sima out on loan ?

How do you think Connolly's motivational coach will break the news to him?
A) great news, there's less competition for your position
B) keep changing your hair colour, your ability to miss sitters will continue to be broadcast on live TV this season

 

[Southern Scouse]

Crazy…..
It seems Madrid we’re willing to pay PSG €220 million for Mbappe, but the French side didn’t get back to them.
€220 million for a player they can get for nothing in January. How on earth can that be correct?

C) club and manager has confidence in you so relax and stroke the ball in the net rather than hammer it through it.
