Summer Transfer Window 2019

What did we get for McCarthy in the end?

Very happy with our new intake. I'm confident these players will help take us to the next level.

I got a lot of middle fingers, but isn’t Mangala better than being an injury or two away from Holgate starting?

Even Gaz Cahill for 12 months would be better.

And that’s scraping the bottom of the barrel.

No

Got to say.. £28m initial for Iwobi with still upside feels less risky for us than £70m for Zaha. Yeah I don’t think he is as much a game breaker but that fee is at least fair. Give him 2 years he might just be up there with Zaha standards.. if not at least it’s not a financial noose Zaha would have been had that not worked out.

Top six being next level? I think the teams above us have improved more than we have apart from Chelsea because of the their ban and losing hazard (although they got pulisic) but they have quality in their squad to play differently. Man utd and arsenal are both stronger than last season imo. I haven't mentioned them lot and city for obvious reasons as they seem to be miles ahead of the rest.

If 6th is a step up then sure why not. The fact is that there was an absolutely massive gap between the top 6 and the rest of the pack (of which we weren't even the best) last season. If we can displace one of those big teams from their position above us then we will have made very good progress.

Gibson ?????? The youth prospect whose a LB ?

Not a left back

Can't see that arsenal have really improved that much. Tierney from Scottish prem is a risk, forward is a good buy, but they are still a few goals away from a shambles at the back.

Don't think utd are that much better and they gave a serial falure as a manager. Better off without lukaku though.

Chelsea and fat frank, could be a mess.

Opportunity knocks.

What did we get for McCarthy in the end?

Some reports say 3 mil others say 8.5.

File under - “ undisclosed “ thank god he’s off the books.

 

[Death]

Should have saved Kean for deadline day. would have been 100% good voted.

 

[evertony]

And a puff apparently.

He’s very cheap....yeah, yeah

Also Man U made an okay signing with McGuire and Wan Bissaka but other than that really no additions worth anything and they lost Lukaku. (Which I’m stoked about the extra free income there)

 

[evertony]

Unsavoury comment that, the kind this forum really does not appreciate !!

And fully deserving of the warning you’re getting.

It’s from a song....jilted John, not a pop at the lad

Good transfer window for me. Got rid of some rubbish and hopefully get rid of some more. Made some good young signings.. Added pace and power. Squad is looking great. Yep needed CB cover but banked too much on zouma. Said before 3 top signings each summer and we will progress. Maybe not top 6 but if the team plays like it did in the later part of the season should do well. Maybe top 4 or 6 next season.
