Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

It's not just us faffing around then. Spuds have been 'hijacked' by Arsenal signing Eze from under their noses. Deal sorted within hours when Spuds have been linked with him for days. If Spuds were any slower even I would beat them in a sack race.

 

At this point… yeah agree.

 

I personally think if we get a striker and keep Isak (and somehow it gets semi sorted in the future) it’s been a good window. But that’s IF we get a striker.

this summer for me wasn’t about strengthening the first 11, it was about building a better squad.

Ramsey > Longstaff
Elanga > Miggy
Ramsdale > Dubravka
Thiaw > Lascelles (couldn’t think of a defender we’ve sold)

& then a striker to replace Wilson (presumably won’t be injured for 6 months of the season)

that’s a much better squad. But let’s see come September 1st.

Yep, I think it's been very good overall. We've upgraded in 4 key positions.

OK so maybe not with exciting 'superstars', but definite upgrades all the same, both in terms of current ability and age/potential.

And yes, a striker is an essential addition. And yes, I do agree with Roly that we are somehow (bizarrely) running out of options for said stikers, despite there being a whole world of teams out there with strikers.

But let's be honest, Isak has totally shafted us and derailed the whole window. I think we've focused (and fallen short - or "failed" in the media narrative) on the Isak replacement. When we maybe should have first focused on securing the Wilson replacement, just to fix the squad.

But oh, isn't hindsight great, eh!

We are where we are. Behind the cartel, for now, BUT scaring them to ****. Enjoy it, fellow Toon fans. They know we are coming for them. It might not be this season, or the next. But we all know it. And they know it. We WILL be a force to be reckoned with. There will be salty tears.

And yes, I may have been on the beers, but who cares. Goodnight and God bless.

 

Will the geordie or cockney snail win the race for Wissa now because I think Spurs will be so pissed off with fcuking this Eze deal up that they'll go all in for Wissa... and will move in straightaway. Will Andy Howe and co still be asleep at the desk or twiddling their thumbs whilst Wissa puts pen to paper for the Spuds

 

No goals in the squad

 

If Wissa ends up at spurs then we have totally ****ed that up.

I think we just need to accept we have to pay the 50m they want (Brentford and if that’s the fee) and get him because we have not got many other options.
