Popular Post jacketspuds Posted September 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Still one of the best windows in my 30 years of supporting the club. Now it’s just about getting the sales of Davis, Philogene and Coutinho confirmed. Edited September 1, 2023 by jacketspuds 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Net spend of about £80 mill over the last 4 transfer windows if all the expected outgoings happen. But thats the reality of earning over £100 mill less per season than those we are competing against. Diaby , Tielemans amd Torres are top class players that we did well to get in . Zaniolo is a calculated risk to get a potential 75 mill player for 25 mill because of injuries. This is how we will have to be going forward. Good post. The Torres move was amazing considering Mings got injured so quickly! Would still have liked a left sided midfielder but hey ho. We will really need McGinn to stay fit as much as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Duran who has potential etc but if Watkins is out for season I'd expect us to drop several places in the league as a result. Been an interesting window, for sure added some quality. But still feel we are light if we are to go a long way in certain competitions. Not long til Jan really and we can reassess then… Moreno and JJ on the way back… I think Zaniolo could be special… could be one that’s gone under the radar a bit… Pau and Moussa look excellent… Diego is “like a new signing” Lenglet could be good, Tielemans should help us a lot… Unai will improve our players even further… maybe Duran can come through and be good for us… We still have Berty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 We still have sales to finalise and complete before the day is over… so we’re not done in that sense at least… So… maybe… just maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Emery saying he's not expecting any surprises doesn't really mean anything, if we sign another player it's hardly going to be a surprise to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted September 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2023 This was the kind of window I'd do on fifa career mode and then lose interest because it was so unrealistic. Our squad is fantastic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have high level targets researched, identified lined up etc. and may have approached them but they are harder deals to complete for various reasons… We’re in a good place and have made good signings so far… there’s always next time, if we need it. Again, there’s only a point to signing players that Unai himself wants and sees as ideal. No point otherwise… If we have a storming season….players will be desperate to jump on board Just be excited about and wait for the players we have and have signed to be performing at their best… it’s gon’ be gud!! I think we have a special talent on our hands too… WE HAVE UNAI! Edited September 1, 2023 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Emery just playing the game like the boss he is - he's really just letting our sexy expensive target know that we don't need him, it's mind games - I'm gonna refresh this till 11pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I guess if anyone wanted to take a crumb of hope from Unai’s answer, it’s that he hasn’t flatly said no. However, realistically I can’t imagine there’s any more than a 0.0001% chance of us signing anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Probably not what people want to hear, BUT... It wouldn't surprise me if the likes of Kellyman add some real value this season. Especially in Europe and Cups. Save us some money as well? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been nice to have another versatile forward, but then that would mean upgrading Bailey or Buendia, which is very luxurious position to be in (and let's see how Kellyman develops). With the coaching set up, I'm sure the players we have will also continue to improve and some may surprise us. All in all I'm very happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 On Monchi I'd guess a huge part of that position in any club is preparing the ground for one window to the next. So its perhaps no surprise that coming in half way through a summer he isnt in the position in add much value and has really relied on players he already knows.
