I am speechless on that, feel sorry for him and disgusted at him at the same time especially the Champions League Final. I mean it’s not as if he was rushing home either, he was in Barcelona. Yeah - there's definitely no direct trains from Barcelona to Surrey at that time of night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Todd Cantwell was linked with us for 30-40m in the summer...he's joined Bournemouth on loan. Probably a good job we didn't splash out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that makes us weaker overall and strengthens a rival. I don't know if I'm that disappointed about him leaving. He wouldn't see much time, and Ashley Young is a more than capable backup until the end of the season (at which point Targett will be back). But I agree with the part about strengthening a rival...why to Newcastle? Absolutely every team in the league should want to see them go down. They're going to spend their way to the top eventually. If they get relegated, it buys everyone more time to cope with threat. 5 hours ago, nick76 said: I’m delighted with our window but I’m bitterly disappointed we haven’t sorted the DM position. I can’t be more impressed with the players we’ve brought in and the contract extensions, easily an 8 out of 10 window. Missing out on getting a DM I don’t think was the right thing by the club. I'd be more disappointed about missing out on a DM if it had been a summer window. Although this was a particularly active January window, January is usually a hard time to get things done. So, using January standards, give this window 4 out of 5 stars in my book. Edited January 31, 2022 by TomC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Overall, was a great window. We fared better than others: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Time to focus on finishing the season well. Hope we go on a good run, rack up the wins and get to see something approaching the best of some players who maybe haven’t been able to shine yet or hadn’t had the opportunity due to injuries etc. Until the next time (really looking forward to it!): 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has improved my sleep no end and as you don’t properly wake up whereas the trip to the toilet would take 10 minutes or so to get back to sleep each time Feck me. How big is your house?

Yeah I'm still pissed off about Arshavin Are we not trying to be one of the apparent 'scum six'. What will your view be if NSWE are successful with buying their way (450m in a few year) and using FFP loopholes (selling Villa Park) and we manage to join the top tier in the PL?

Jas10 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Just now, Kiwivillan said: I'll laugh at Arsenal when we're above them in the table, not 10pts adrift. Why so serious? Just a couple of amusing tweets/memes Not really laughing at them (although I do despise a large portion of their fanbase) and I agree with you in general but… lighten up dude! Anyway, it’s time to show what we are made of and make the best of the remaining games. I hope this break really helps us and the players return reenergised and revitalised, SG will work them hard and getting valuable time in training with them, it really is up to/on the players to prove their worth to him as he clearly means business and wants to progress us as much as possible. I expect a busy and eventful off season, we aren’t messing around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
