Looks like a good day for drying, get those bed sheets out lads

Ive decided to continue to use mine as a Roman Toga. That way I am always in comfort, even when soaking them. I've been quite the talking point in my local Tesco doing my weekly shopping.

Quite interesting that the only loan we have taken on is for a player we could not afford to buy. Excellent business for Jack Grealish, bringing a top player by the only means we could.

Moyes moaned about the squad being decimated by loans leaving last summer, this is now a thing of the past, we buy for future seasons, not immediate gaps.

I am greatly encouraged by the whole tone and tenor of our business. Sure there are still some obvious gaps, but what has been achieved is excellent.

Technically Rohr is a loan as well.

Fofana and Kubo didn't move. We've been linked with tens if not a hundred plus players, it'd be interesting to know which players Moyes is gutted to have missed, and who we might go back for. Saying that, with the players we have and the number we have teens and early twenties, we could be sorted for a few windows for a while.

Absolutely delighted that the window is closed now anyway. Was a tricky few weeks there trying in vain to convince a few individuals to keep their heads on, particularly throughout the last month specifically

...and lo and behold - we actually didn't 'throw away the start of the season' after all. Who knew!

This is exactly what happened… we agreed a fee but wouldn’t accept the clauses as we felt them unreasonable and unrealistic, we were prepared to walk away but the feeling from early on was that they would blink first. Believe that or not, but this is what people close to that deal were saying. Club deserves credit for that.

Club Credit don’t let our lovable orange poster hear you say that
But I agree
We are much more business savvy since TFG took over
Before that we were Usmanov’s plaything and ego trip

Not to worry mate, one of them will start the Winter Transfer Thread 2026 tomorrow and they`ll all be back at it again.

Thanks god that's done.
8/10 and a definite step up and on from previous seasons.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Anyone decent left on a free?

I’d have taken a punt on tomiyasu and shipped out Patterson, personally.

We certainly should have an easier summer next year recruiting - I’d suggest barring outgoings we really only need fullbacks and maybe a holding midfielder.

Just having a bit of fun after a very long transfer window. I secretly wanted Vardy last minute but didnt have the️️ too actually post it

Much rather have Vardy than Sterling as some people suggested ..just my opinion

Don't mind Tomiyasu as a player myself but he's permanently injured, hence why he still doesn't currently have a new club..

Moyes bemoaned the fact that he wanted older more experienced players but struggled to attract them so had to recruit younger players as they were more open to the “project” and easier to sign. ( and yes he was quoted in the echo saying exactly that for anyone not believing it).

I for one am glad he’s disappointed that he didn’t get what he wanted! A team of Soucek’s and McGinn’s isn’t the recruiting strategy we should be looking to do!!

We’ve had a very good window almost by luck more than judgement compared to what we might have had if Moyes got his way.
