yes they know who he is, they wouldn't think @Deulofeumygod was actually Wayne Rooney ffs.
If Wayne Rooney himself went over to some places in Asia most people would think they were on a comedy sketch to be fair.

I'm saying the feeling on Christmas morning....
You wake up and get lots of little presents and medium presents and larger presents (like the players we have signed this summer) and you're really happy to receive those presents.
But then you remember when you got the ultra-super-smashing-blow your mind present from a few Christmases before....
Personally I feel that this window would 'need' a signing such as that, one which really captures my own personal imagination for it to be better than when we signed Kanchelskis.
It wouldn't need to be a huge signing like a Koulibaly, it could well be a Sessegnon who i'd enjoy watching develop...but something like that is missing for me out of all of these players for it to upstage Kanchelskis' signing for pure excitement.
This just feels, sensible.
Doubt they would flip after summer we have had. Just shrug shoulders and say that Koeman has what he wanted now he has to mould them into a team.

Yeah, some will moan about net spend and not look at how much stronger the squad is already.Don't think fans are rational even after what we've already been given.
Badstuber was great at Bayern in is younger days, but injuries have ruined him.
It really needs to but I doubt it. Apart from Barkley's replacement which looks likely to be Sigurddson I think we are picking up squad filler now. Him, Backup LB, Backup RB (Martina).

That summer we signed Kanchelskis, Craig Short and Paul Gerrard
Andrei was a "wow" signing, and probably the first we'd had since we last broke the British transfer record for Cottee (unless Beardsley counts?)
The window was hardly anything to get excited about overall though
This is the kind of window that Man City had a couple of after their Robinho one - sensibly building their squad
A statement signing would be nice, but I can't see it happening, and TBH I don't think it's absolutely necessary - you could easily argue that Rooney represents the kind of signing that delivers a lot of media exposure, which is the main thing.
That said, if we stump up £40m for Mahrez or someone like that, I'd be delighted
3 more is extremely realistic.
Better to say 3 more and get 5 than say 5 and end up with 3.
Simple psychology. Some fans will flip if we get less than we wanted.
Is it?Yeah, some will moan about net spend and not look at how much stronger the squad is already.
Is it?
Stronger without Lukaku?
Goals win matches. We just saw our top scorer for years walk out and we haven't replaced him. We look pedestrian.
We are in negative net spend right now to the tune of £15M.
WTF is this feller Moshiri getting credit for? We've seen this sell to buy for years and Kenwright rightly got lambasted for it.
Lukaku £90MI'd be interested in seeing your maths for this!?
