The fact is that nobody really knows a single thing about what actually goes on, so why bother fuming? It's like getting mad at a celebrity gossip column.

It's not awful in the slightest
Tad underwhelming of course because we didn't get any of our wing options and Rojo looks to be coming in on a perm for actual money, but it's by no means our worst window ever or anything
I'd go above average
We can still sell them abroad.. Don't worry.I would have thought we would have offloaded some of our expensive fringe players to get some cash in , and get them off the wage bill?
I think if Brands wanted Zaha that bad it needed to be more Steve Walsh and less Daniel Levy just pay them the extra unfortunately. Not his style but bite the bullet this once.
Obviously some people are going over the top but there's a big middle ground that a lot of people are in which is being ignored. I'm happy with the business we've done aswell (as far as I can be, I've never seen our two big signings play a full game of football) but I don't think we've done enough. We're not going down, this isn't a disaster, it hasn't been an awful window, but If nothing else happens then I think we've stood still, and we're standing still from 8th. Sorry that i'm not ecstatic about that.
Confirmed we offered. Confirmed Zaha wanted out. Even pretty much confirms Zaha feels like he was screwed over by Palace.
My problem is not that we didn't do the Zaha deal at £80m+. It's that we've not had an option lined up.
*should have
He might be able to play on the left of a front three but he actually hasn't ever done it so that kind of shows that we needed another winger no?He can definitely play on the left of a front 3.
Bernard is a lovely footballer.
Don't understand why we never just went for a real top CB like Jonathan Tah of Leverkusen or Matthias Ginter of Gladbach as soon as we knew Zouma was'nt coming back. This Rojo thing is just bonkers, we really don't need anymore Man U cast offs, have we not moved on from those days.
As for Zaha, i don't get why we have left a deal like this so late in the window to try and complete, and knowing it would possibly be awkward to have no alternative either, id expect this from Walsh not from Brands. But hey there is still an hour left so who knows.
