lake district canary 4,545 Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) And a flipping good looking team that should be too. We'll see mixing and matching with the players already here, but that is some transfer window work. Edited August 30, 2021 by lake district canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If wed kept Howie.. 209 Posted August 30, 2021 +++ we also restocked the talent into u23 with Riley, Gibbs, Clarke etc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,397 Posted August 30, 2021 The weaknesses have been covered. It just remains to be seen if they are good enough. Well done Webber👍 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 30, 2021 When will we see them? Fitness aside, surely we can't afford to wait to bed them in? Or are they all off on international duty? Is Kabak part of a back three, which I think I would prefer? Surely Gilmour will move forward to his rightful position with old Normann Old Boys in the team. So who drops out? There can be no doubt we are not trying to build a team for the Championship. I have no doubt our wages may be better but surely these boys are here for the EPL?

Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,297 Posted August 30, 2021 We've made a lot of signings, and some very exciting. Tzolis would be my pick. However, a lot of the signings are young with next to no EPL experience. Essentially, unknown quantities. Therefore Impossible to judge at this stage how good, or not, the transfer window has been. As always, time will tell. Here's hoping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is absolutely no concern of ours. The money men will have done the calculations but we seem to have taken risks and are relying on Max and Todd being sold at some point to balance the books.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,853 Posted August 30, 2021 1 hour ago, hogesar said: On paper the best window in my lifetime, most certainly the most ambitious. Yep, it probably just edges out summer 2013, pound for pound. van Wolfswinkel and Fer were big statement signings given their reputations, Olsson was a proven Premier League player, Redmond was one of the brightest young prospects in the country, Hooper cost a decent wedge and even Elmander was a big-name with bags of international experience. That season turned into a nightmare given the expectations and playing squad we had assembled, so fingers crossed Farke can get more out of this squad than Hughton did from his. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,165 Posted August 30, 2021 That's a really impressive transfer window - plenty of people there who are likely starters or competing for a starting position. And the way the deals have been done is very sensible. The only downside is having so many players joining when we've already lost 3 Prem games, but that's the way the transfer window works - often people won't commit to a deal until the deadline is looming.

sonyc 5,541 Posted August 30, 2021 Players have signed too even knowing we are a new PL team and for a couple of signings that we are on nil points. It says to me they must have some belief in the 'project' and our set up / resources etc as much as the money. It's great too to keep reading that other 'big' teams have been following Tzolis, Rashica, Normann and Kabak. I realise the last two are loans so let's hope they make a difference and enjoy our area and playing style. Hope they buy in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
