Valley it is pathetic, but I cant help thinking Hj will be getting these things leaked when we were not ever interested in them, but it will appease fans by saying we tried to get something in. But I agree, we have been a bit of a failure in the last 4 maybe 5 transfer windows. The sooner we actually get proper scouts in and a proper scouting network rather than someone who is looking on Fifa for ps4 or championship manager then we may have a chance of making some decent signings, but it will be for Championship players next season.
 
It seems that the whole of the premier league was prepared for this transfer window apart from us. I honestly don't think we've strengthened at all.

Out

Williams
Ayew
Paloschi
Eder

Loan

Gomis
Bartley
Grimes

In

Llorente
Baston
Van Der Hoorn
Mawson
Fer

So comparing the players in to the one's who have left;

Williams > VDH (can't see him being an improvement but still unknown)

Gomis > Baston (unknown but likely to be an improvement)

Paloschi > Llorente (likely to be an improvement but hasn't proved to be so far)

Eder > not replaced

Ayew > not replaced and an important player last year

Fer > here last season so keeping status quo

Bartley > Mawson (unknown)

For me I don't think we've strengthened hardly at all.

Llorente doesn't seem to be prolific and struggled in the previous two games

Baston is going to have some serious pressure to preform hopefully he's up to the task.

In all I don't think that anyone can seriously day that we've dramatically improved our squad this window

Swan I still believe we are weaker, we have a badly failing Centre half partner ship, we have lost 12 goals and we may have replaced them with Baston, but who knows, we haven't strengthened our central midfield, where every other club has, ours ahs been the same give or take for about 2 seasons (maybe a good thing). We have just slowly moved backwards on backwards, since Hj has taken control of our signings. So no we are no way stronger.

Actions speak louder than words, Huw has ****ed up big time. Hell you could leak a story that Ronaldo was coming here, were all exited that Cristian was coming here to be told it's Fat Ronaldo!!

I know shocking!! Also seen that Everton are interested in Valencia Haha!!!

Even our panic buy might so somewhere else.
I don't mind them beating us to him. I just don't get our strategy if we actually have one. I think it is sell the good and bring in worse players and then when you do wait until the last minute. I am still staggered we didn't sign a new striker till 1 week before the season starts. So no wonder we haven't managed to do anything in the last week or so.
 
The more I think of it, if were scrapping the barrel, lets not get any in. Huw will hopefully be gone come January and the Yanks can show us what investment is, by showing us the money, and get some quality signings lined up come January 1st, get them in bloody early because we will probably need it.

What has this window proved? We cannot compete with the superpowers like Stoke and Bournemouth.

I mean, what's the ****ing point of us even being in this league anymore? If Gylfi gets injured, we are dead and buried.

I'm still raging that we signed ****ing Fer (the fat De Guzman) instead of Joe :headbang:

Stoke will be the team to watch this season. Sparkey has brought in some great signings :(
