Oh you can’t make sense on here or you’ll get called a “bedwetter” for some likes on the internet

Isn't it amazing how some people are so quick to defend incompetence?

Our window, so far, has been a massive failure. That can change - but it's not certain that it will given our history of ignoring the right side for so long, whether it be a replacement for Coleman or a winger.

Skepticism should be the default - until proven otherwise. Lose on Monday night, and this place will go up like a tinder box. That won't be "bed-wetting" - that will be the inevitable result of justified frustration at the inadequate performance of the "competent professionals" running the club.

We're way behind where we needed to be (and expected to be) even allowing for the reality that one window was never going to solve all of our issues. We've barely scratched the surface, and the Grealish deal is looking like an act of temporary appeasement with each passing non-event of a transfer window day.

Is prefer the club thinks long term, and gets the right players in, rather than put such an importance on winning the first game.

It’s a shame they weren’t thinking long term before July the 1st when they seemingly started preparing for the transfer window.

Luiz off to Forest permanently

Bullet dodged IMO. Would have maybe been worth a punt on loan

Signing very decent players Forest, 4 of them in a day or so. Everton are obviously not working due to the weekend and will start pondering again on Monday.

If Forest get all of their targets that they're apparently close to or have agreed that's probably about 220mil spent.

Gifted 20mil for Europa and then I think outgoings they got about 80mil(ish).

They'll probably fail psr again, but this has been a pretty fun summer for them.

Defending incompetence again, are we?

It’s 16th August and we still don’t have a right hand side, so I’m interested to hear from the people that think it’s been a success like. Because if you offered those people this exact scenario in May, they’d have scoffed and shot it down in flames, no matter how much they would like to pretend otherwise.

There’s no incompetence to defend.

PSR is a joke anyway - it doesn’t really exist unless you’re us

We have ZERO players that can play on the right wing. We are still playing a centre back at right back, and we are relying on Michael Keane staying fit for the next 6 weeks to be able to put out a back 4.
