7th for me.

Glue or gas this evening, Goat?

Iwobi is only but so good

If we want to finish 7th he will need to kiss pine.

I’ll leave it at this, we started this window knowing that we were handcuffed with spending, we offered Jonjoe Kenny a new deal because we thought we’d struggle with numbers in our squad and we knew we’d be selling AT LEAST one of our best players.

Fast forward to now there are actually people moaning that we couldn’t bring in a 9th signing, a third forward player, after completely revamping the first 11 and squad with quality, experience, leadership and young promising talent, all the while only having to sell Richarlison to do it and getting rid of probably £600k+ per week of pure non contributing deadwood of toxic, crocked players.

A bit of perspective could go a long way for some on here to see how we started this window to where we are now.

Great point.

Honestly I thought we weren't going to sign anyone bar maybe another keeper. I've been spoilt. Or is it Stockholm Syndrome?

Anyway, let's get this right - our midfield has been an absolute SHAMBLES for too many seasons. It now finally looks like we have a good foundation.
Fair play to Frank & Kev.

As much as I like Garner I would have preferred one less midfielder and a forward instead but that's this club

Brainthwaite from Barca is available on a free

Joined espanyol I think

Mate, Everton 1 is going to be a good scoreline for us. ALL of our games are going to be as described. Either that or us getting beat.

Nah, we'll pick up two here and there, and we'll get blanked here and there. We'll need 10 or so clean sheets, plus the odd 2-1 win, to stay up. Is what it is.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

We have to keep Rondon. He's utterly terrible but with Dominic Calvert-Lewin out injured, we're a Maupay injury away from McNeil up front again. That's how thin we are up front.

Now that the dust is beginning to settle I find that my only complaint is not that we didn’t sign another striker it’s that we failed to get rid of one.

 

[PhilRegan]

But on the flip side about an inch difference we win that match ?

Yes very even teams again this year

 

[Wizard]

Some seem to have forgotten that some players do come back from injury and then stay fit. Obviously another attacker would have been nice but we’ve been sensible for once and not overspent just to add a body.

If DCL comes back and stays fit for the majority of the season we will be absolutely fine. He might not, who knows? But let’s not completely wet the bed before we know what’s happening.

Back line strengthened ..... COMPLETE REVAMP in the middle with someone who can bag up front when called upon. Striker in Jan if needed. We Won't be losing battles in midfield from now on. Happy with it

Nah, his ascendancy into the Nigerian Modric is by far our best chance at a miracle

We all wanted rid of Rondon but we have two centre forwards at the club if he leaves. We don't even have any youth prospects to try there. It's mad how few forwards we have.

Yeah, here and there. Shocking how few goals there are in this squad.

Big gamble, but that's where we are.
