Summer Transfer Window

There will be boundaries of course, but when you think the PL take a cut of this money it’s then pretty clear all the noise made last year was just posturing.

 

Yes but obviously an unrelated company wouldn’t want to do it above market value. PIF are heavily invested in Noon, so its a related company.

 

Massive progress indeed on the backline, but upfront still one injury away from Wilson back to Wood, also you have Almiron & Fraser on the right which don't cut it tbh.

So I'd be surprised if we don't see any movements upfront.

 

An injury to Bruno would be a killer..

 

In the context of where the club is, what you've said is what was necessary. Ashley, of course, didn't even do the bare minimum so we were left playing catch up.

So look I'm not saying the owners haven't done an amazing job, they have, because they were left in such a massive ****ing hole by that fat ****. What I'm saying is that in the context of what every PL club does every year (bar us and a couple of low-grade exceptions) is strengthen to consolidate. Ambitious clubs then push on. We've so far had to consolidate, because the players you mentioned were absolutely necessary; they've replaced Ritchie at left back (lols), Clark and Fede at CB, Hayden in CM, Darlow, then upgraded Krafth. Every one of those players has repeatedly looked like Championship level, being kind.

What's been done is amazing for the club. But in terms of where that will put us in the PL, we've done the necessary so far. Now, if/when we upgrade Fraser on the right and Wilson up front, THAT"S serious.

Does that make sense?

 

To hugely understate it, that would be extremely concerning. Nightmare if he was out for sometime.

 

Yes it does and o agree with you. The club needed that to catch up.

It is also why we where bought for 350m and Chelsea are bought for 3,500m.

Let’s hope the PL don’t **** on us.

 

I reckon they'll see right through that ....

 

If we can sign a good right winger we will be a serious side.

But we in truth still need a replacement for Wilson, who is too weak to play a full season.

 

Absolutely. A quality RW and another striker and we'll have the basis of a very good starting 11.

That said, most of the replacements/subs will still be very average to poor.

But, it's all a step in the right direction.

 

Think we are looking at an overall spend of 600 - 800m is we ever want to be a serious top 4 contender. We need players even better than the ones we have signed to be starting, in truth, players of Joelinton and Bruno's quality would be backup. That's how good the top 6 is.

If we can get a good 11 and keep them injury free, we should seriously consider focusing on cup runs for the time being and see if we can nab a bit of silveware early. Would do the club a world of good.

 

So, Everton have sold Richarlison, who was a scumbag ****, but probably their most skillful player.

I think relegation scrap round 2 is in their future.

 

I’m hoping it means DCL won’t come to us

 

Lol, lass had one half a good season and is now a females fashion icon.

No thanks.

 

Imagine thinking a year ago we'd have a full starting XI of "purple" players...

The replacements are actually not bad when you think minus the signings in the last 6 months since Jan plus star players, big and little Joe, Wilson and ASM you're left with

Dubravka
Manquillo/Krafth
Schar /Lacselles
Lewis/Dummy
Shelvey/Longstaff (x2)
Fraser/Miggy/Murphy
Wood

Pretty much a team that has kept us up just about for the last 3 years previously (even Bruce managed it!) Defence is mustard now, If we could find a winger come forward and an attack minded CM we'll be laughing.

So much potential to add some quailty to the squad - we only need 2/3 of those in CAM/RW/CF positions and we'd be on for an amazing season....

 

Keith Downie saying we will spend around 90 million, Looking for an attacker that can play mainly ST and other places in the attack also looking at loan market for another attacker just been on sky sports he’s said this

 

Downie knows **** all.

Just stands there during announcements and that's about it.

 

I think he knows his stuff your just expecting more
