One minute you’re scout of the year, then they all try to bring you down.

Now I know how Zat feels.

Maybe I've been wrong all these years.

Maybe my life has been one big con.

Amazingly he's still only 30. Seems to have been around forever.

+10pts for the niche historical reference.

Now the dust has settled I’m personally quite pleased with how this window ended.
We have signed quality players who are good with the football.
We have avoided low quality workhorses with negligible technical skills.
We have strengthened our midfield which has been lacking creativity for multiple seasons.
I do think we inevitably suffered early on by not only changing the system but by also not having the new system fully staffed and ready to go at the start. But that was a chance they took and it’s turned out well in the end.

Never in doubt Grasshoppers!

It's definitely "champing at the bit".

«"Chomping at the bit," also known as "champing at the bit," is an idiom describing someone who is very eager and impatient to start something.»

Props to the English language for being so easy to navigate for non native speakers

Interesting, wonder if we will still be interested in frees like reguilon and zouma seeing as Chilwell is hardly a world beater...

I've just noticed that injury record.

That's a concern. Especially the ankle injury.

Was it an ankle injury that stopped you being England’s first choice full back and getting 100 caps ?

I’d say it was more than likely his attitude that stopped him reaching the top

I agree

We now have 3 decent ball players behind our striker

We have a young striker which we can develop

We have a one of the most highly rated youngsters in the country on the bench and can be bedded into a team with quality footballers to learn off

And we kept JB who in my opinion has more potential than John stones

Good window id say

Can imagine him telling the manger that the tactics are wrong

Telling the grounds keeper that the pitch isn’t up to standard and telling Dorris the tea lady that she should be putting the milk in before the water

Ruffling feathers everywhere
