i’m happy with some ye

but we still need more

got 3 weeks yet

But we are going into a new season with a sub standard, patched up back 4 which may well include calamity Keane.

I wouldn’t say that’s a successful window or good preparation for the new season, would you?

I'm not going to lie; the last couple of days have been disappointing.

A 15 year old and a third choice goalkeeper and not a peep with regard to a RB and a RW.

I think they will happen, but late (if not deadline day). Unfortunately, we are not in a position to just buy who we want because the prices are nuts. Forest, palace and Fulham managers have all made the same comments.

Things tend to move as you get to the deadline and prices come down a bit or clubs are more willing to do the deal because they either have their own targets, or they realise they aren't getting the mega deal they thought they could get.

player agents also play a part. We'd have signed Fofana already, but he/his agent obviously feel they can get a better deal. Again, that may change if nobody else bites.

It's just frustrating that we end up gambling away the first 5 or 6 games of a season because we couldn't get the right players in early enough.

If we'd have gotten a RW or a RB rather than a third choice goalie I'd have been happy.

we've not replaced (and I never thought I'd say this) Young (he played more RB than LB).

and we've not bought in someone to play where those loan flops played.

outside of that, I'm not too unhappy TBH.

Honestly surprised the mods on here let Dave wind up people constantly, it's clearly rage bait by him. I do wonder if Davek is actually an alt of a mod sometimes.

We have 3 games before then Matty. We writing them off as usual?

It’s no wonder we are laughed at by our neighbours. Evertonians seem totally fine with failure while they demand success.

What, because I and others refuse to accept lies and mediocre signigs for the most part after massive promises of better things to come we must be shut up?

Given the prices being asked it seems like some deals will come down to deadline to force a decision.

In some other cases it reminds me of house buying - the complications of a chain where everybody has to line up.

It’s crazy competitive market. There was a time if a player was 25-30 million, then it would instantly rule out Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Forest, Palace etc.. now they throw that out left, right and centre.

If we want to play with the big boys again, we need to spend serious money on both fees and wages.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Currently 6.5/10

Sign Dibling, Luiz and a right back - increases to 9/10

I’m wary of the prices being reported for Dibling, and not entirely convinced by Luiz, but overall I’d have to agree.

You have one tune and it's negativity. I actually feel sorry for you if this is the real you.

Forest have apparently agreed fees for McAtee and Hutchinson, these on top of a new contract for Gibbs White.
We just seem to argue the toss over every penny regardless of the owner.
Want to be successful again?
You have to pay the going rate, we have to be in amongst the European competitions every year, then better players say yes.

And no natural right winger, in fact our best player last season is being shunted there.
