Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Nymzee]

Does nobody on here know the difference between where and were?

People wear suits. Nobody wheres a suit!

Or am I missing out on a GOT forum joke?

*where and wear

 

[evertonarntwe]

so many links to that Vida, the bick pleb for Croatia who looks like voronin the rs used to have

best not spend money on him he's not even good

 

[Nymzee]

Tierney, Bissouma and Bensebaini. I’d be happy with just that tbh for under £50m total.

 

[coollino]

No one wants to come?

Agreed, I’m just not expecting too much this window. We probably will add, the defence looks weak in nunbers but we need the right player/s.

I’m happy we aren’t just chucking money at the problem.

I think all this is bang on actually.

Last summer was a complete and utter panicky disaster. I'd be concerned if a whole new regime came in and just panicked again and spent like mad without having any evaluation of what they already have in front of them.

Reality is, despite having 3 managers and whole host of issues around egos, poor form, unsettled players, bad signings, awful football and disillusioned fans, this squad finished 8th. That's 3 places higher than a squad which many thought was the best we'd had since the 80s.
If Silva and Brands are worth their reputations, they'll work to make what they have really chime, and then add the quality needed to elevate the squad further.
It's not like they're taking over a team that just survived in 17th. There's plenty of talent to work with, but they've only worked with them for what - a fortnight?

We've learned painfully that money in itself is not a strategy. I'm glad we're not repeating the same mistakes. I'm keen that we make some key signings where there are obvious weaknesses - particularly in central defense, our left hand side, and the centre of midfield. And I think they will happen. But surely a good thing to assess what we have and work out exactly the kind of player we need to fill those holes, rather than just going out and trying to sign the biggest name on the market and waving money at them.

 

[Nymzee]

Maybe that Carrillo on a loan too.

 

[Moomin]

We can't sign anyone until we reduce the wage bill further.

4 weeks to go before the window is closed.

I mean people always get mixed up between where and were.

The 'where a suit' is one I haven't seen before.

Mad as it sounds, Silva might actually like the players he has.

He’s been describe as a great motivator - Perhaps some of these players just need that and some direction.

I’m not worried in the slightest. A left back is needed, but they may feel Robinson is ready.

Reckon Marcel took the job as a lot of potential to grow the club provided we shift the sheer amount of waste on our books. We will move forward, it’s just going to take time.

Going to some Saudi team for the $$$ apparently.

Easy tiger
Easy.....

Not all posters are native to the UK, nor has everyone spent as much time in the books as your good self.

The transfer window is a daunting and challenging time even the most resilient of bladders.

We shall overcome

I think we should have tried to get that Belgium manager, he seems to be able to get a tune out of his players

Some of their own mothers don’t like them.
Fair play to the handsome devil if that is indeed the case.
Who said you can’t polish a turd?

Yeh must be so hard playing decent football with De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku like.
