Summer Transfer Window 2019

[ForeverBlue92]

You just know we'll roll into the derby with Mason kin Holgate at CB and get blammo'ed to kingdom come.

Read somewhere that Iwobi has scored 6 PL goals in 3 seasons. Maybe wrong like. But couldn’t be much more

100 PL appearances he's scored 11 goals and 16 assists

Liverpool, Tottenham and Man City, haven;'t really set the world alight but i expect them to be stronger this season.
Chelsea losing Hazard and not being able to sign anyone makes them weaker, however it's still Chelsea with an impressive squad with many talented youngsters.
Arsenal strengthened well, even with the last minute punt for Luiz equalling our desperation for a CD
Man Utd, would only sell Rojo for extortionate fee, they're scared of us, says it all.

Will we break the top 6? I don't think so
Will we be closer to them than lat year, and take more points from them this year? I think so

The window as a whole was pretty good but the last week was really really poor. There was seemingly no back up plans for any of our targets. There is no conceivable way that Marcus Rojo was on any list of "who can we get to replace Zouma?" until today. SCREAMS of knee jerk scattergun approach .

Also the Iwobi part makes no sense either as we could have offered that money earlier in the window to someone better instead of a last minute long shot.

Are we left with a problem at centre back??

Hello Ronnie Goodlass. Nice to see you on the forum

?

 

[Billysgingham.]

You want to see a real poor window? Look at Man United, or Chelsea (yes, I’m aware of their ban) have we improved? Yes. Have they improved? No. So we’re closer to them than we were last season

Not arsed about anyone but Everton.

Yes, we all get that but you cant alwaya get what you want. The players in are quality and this is a better squad.overall. be a little more positive please.

It's left a massive gap so I don't know if I agree that this is a better squad than last season's.

Remains to be seen how adequate Delph and GBamin will be at replacing Gueye.

Central Defence is one of the most important areas of the pitch for me.

 

[hktoffee]

Should have kept Jags. In hindsight.

Nice post.

Objectively, I'm happy with every signing (though think we have overpaid for Iwobi).

But, no centre-half is a huge oversight. I was happy for us to wait on Zouma and my guess is we were confident at, of the very least, getting Tomori if all failed (even though I don't think he was the answer).

However, we should have had another option. I appreciate that Luiz's move came out of nowhere and could not be foreseen. But it's no excuse not to have had another option away from Chelsea.

definitely thought we would take timori if the bid for zouma failed

 

[MrGrumpy]

Having watched that.. he looks like a real talent, might be a sniff at 35mil. he got some serious quality, pace, power, passing and trickery and great ball control and only 23

 

[Bebeto]

If Keane or Mina get an injury it's season over.

I'm a big supporter of Brands but not signing a centre back is bordering on negligence.

Plus one of the reasons why we were better last season is that we had 3 good cb pushing each other up...with only 2 this season they know that even if they dont perform they are guarantee to start every week

You want to see a real poor window? Look at Man United, or Chelsea (yes, I’m aware of their ban) have we improved? Yes. Have they improved? No. So we’re closer to them than we were last season

I'd argue that Utd have improved and Chelsea were under a ban and they have Zouma and we don't.

Kinell and we paid 35-40 for that

All over twitter - Iwobi price was only 28 million.

Nowt wrong with that. We wanted him AND Zaha (who we only bid a reasonable amount on ONCE - and then they tried to double the price). Iwobi was not a knee jerk, second choice signing. Everton tried to get both, got one at a reasonable price, if the 28 mil rumors are true.
