Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted August 31, 2021 Kieffer Moore to Wolves seems to have stalled as they have only just now found out how much Cardiff actually want for him. Edouard to Palace gone quiet, which is not a bad thing from our perspective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edouard deal now complete for £15m... not sure what to make of that really as I don't think he'll improve what they already have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,760 Posted August 31, 2021 I don't think Edouard is anywhere near Premier League quality, I wouldn't have been happy us spending £15 million on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted August 31, 2021 Don't care if he's good value or not, but I'd just prefer it if our rivals were as weak as possible. He isn't going to get as many chances that for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Jedi 578 Posted August 31, 2021 Watching these signings many seem overpriced and a little desperate. Makes me realise just how good a job Webber and his team have done for us getting the: - right targets (players with massive performance potential and massive sell on potential) - right deals (not putting us over our heads in debt and unshakeable contracts) - right time (ie not last minute) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He certainly didn't look Prem quality with that chance he missed in the Old Firm Derby at the weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,223 Posted August 31, 2021 3 hours ago, Bethnal Yellow and Green said: I saw someone describe Adama Traore as scary but not dangerous. He'll win loads of dribbles and look like he is doing something, but ultimately he never really creates anything and is mostly harmless. There are quite a few wingers like this, but Traore is probably the pinnacle. A faster, more brutal Onel Hernandez imo. Traore played against us as a youngster for Villa and Boro I think - he looked really good on the ball but when you analysed what he actually did, it wasn't much. Off the ball, he was non-existent. He has slightly improved his final ball, but Spurs wouldn't improve a bid of £30m by the manager who knows him best. Most opposition players are now physical enough to see him off so he doesn't offer much threat anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a very good window but not even close to the window just ended. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
