Leeroy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 13 minutes ago, Galway Lion said: That’s what happens when a good player settles in a new country. Spurs fans wer slagging him after a few months. Maybe if we weren’t so quick to criticise? Think you’ll find it’s not me writing loads of b*llocks on the Zaniolo thread. Even the Diaby one I pointed out that he’s not being used right and clearly has talent. There’s a clear difference between slagging off a player who clearly has very high potential but is lacking confidence/struggling for form vs being underwhelmed by a new signing because you think the club should be more ambitious given the position we find ourselves in in the league.

I'm sure these youth players might come good one day but they won't do anything for us this season. Nobody is spending money this window, and Emery is not the sort of manager to just throw money at something when it’s not working, he’ll fix it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, hard to moan when you look around the league (and Europe) and no one is doing anything Feels more like a few gambles on youngsters (man city with the argie youngster, Barco at Brighton) with a lot of them going back out on loan If we do end up with 2 players let alone 4 then we've done more business than pretty much anyone, other than West ham getting phillips I can't see any real significant transfer from any of our competitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Very happy, the club knows what it’s doing, we already have a squad full of players with Mings, Buendia, Pau, Digne, to come back, Tielemans to properly integrate, Irogboeum being integrated, Zaniolo on a possible loan-to-buy, Lenglet on loan and allegedly some irons in the fire for Summer free transfers. I just doesn’t see the rationale to buying immediacy when we likely have some very key targets in mind for Summer that will likely be expensive? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We are in a bad patch (which is disappointing) but we’re not a bad team - see 2023 for details. We’ll get out of it, and there’s no reason to think we won’t. Lighten up a little. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I think the quiet transfer window for most clubs in the PL is a sign of sanity. I'm quite happy with what we have and adding Rogers and Sousa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I trust the footballing side of the club 100%. Very sensible business with an eye on FFP and our future. Cutting the Rogers deal a bit fine though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 4 hours ago, Leeroy said: It's just being realistic really. I was excited by our summer activity on the whole. You're being completely unrealistic about FFP, the January transfer window, and the reality that new signings don't guarantee improvement and that applies to every club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I think these young players coming in are set to replace the high wage earning, dead wood we will hopefully move.on now and in summer. Will save us a load in wages but still be cable enough to do a job and make an impact Will also hopefully free up enough wages and space to be able to get 2 - 3 top notch players in for first XI Better value for money and smart medium to long term business overall.
