If this stays true, this transfer window will be a million times better then I ever thought and beats any signing we could have made
Sort of see the viewpoint, but a different take on it .......
So far, 12 out, 6 in of which 1 sent straight out, so effectively 5 in.
... from a squad that was already lacking, and with at least 1 (MH), maybe more, still likely to go before the end of August.
No Bowen sale = no new owners. Of course, no guarantee that a Bowen sale brings new owners but it surely increases the probability significantly (c. £20 mill debt v's c. £40 mill post Harry sale).
Even with Bowen (and Grosicki) we will likely be around mid-table at best. So we face the prospect of a nothing season with the ****s still as owners.
Sorry to say, but I think I'd rather see him sold (for around £20 mill) in the hope we get new owners.
And unless we make a handful of quality signings in the next couple of days, which looks doubtful but let's see, then I don't see how anyone can be happy with this window (including GMcC if he's honest).
Then again, could have been worse for sure.
Of course, maybe better to wait until Friday morning and see how things pan out, but it's a message board which would be pretty boring if we all just waited until after events before sharing our thoughts, opinions and feelings (like let's wait until the season is over before we say 'owt!!).
