ended up at Palace … but considering we only have 2 first team CB's he would have done just fine for us.

i think we were nailed on to get Zouma and the side show bob throwing his toys out of the pram to move to Arsenal derailed it all

every single sound bite told us otherwise ..
surely even Bill Kenwright should have waded in a nd said, look Marcel, this deal looks dodgy to say the least, lets at least get another CB in just in case.
we still haven't learnt … waiting for transfers that aren't going to materialise …. will cost us points at various parts of the season.
theres no way our only two CB will play Every single game this season.
we don't even have anyone to rotate them with .
big ask if we are thinking Gibson and Gbamin will come in and do a good job.

Agreed, he would’ve been ideal.
Think they’ve recently split up, so now’s your chance.
Luiz could have easily been kicking a stink up because he was told he wouldn't be first choice at Chelsea.

...the dash to get Doucoure in tells you all you need to know about how Silva feels concerning what he was actually given to get on with life after Gueye.
We need Gbamin to be a big player for us or we'll be ripped to pieces there all season.

Maybe. I have an uneasy feeling that, whereas we saw nearly all the incomings last summer prove themselves, we might see the reverse with this summer's recruits.
Last season Gomes, Digne, Bernard and Zouma had a lot of experience. This season the potential for failure waiting for youngsters like Kean, Gbamin and Iwobi to prove their worth is high.

I think we were fortunate that, as you say, all of last summer’s signings were good - even Mina looked brilliant on Saturday but he needs to stay fit now more than ever.
As we’re only one game in it’s tough to say but there’s definitely a couple of question marks over the business this window.

will be interesting to see what Silva has to say in the coming months if we start getting injuries in key area's and why we didn't get back up etc etc

Kean and Gbamin need time to get to grips, Bernard or Digne didn't play straight away and ended up being fine.
Iwobi is Premiership experienced so he shouldn't be too bad, Seriously don't know why people are stressing after one game because we got really unlucky and had some french divvy get sent off.

im not worried about the players we bought in, im worried about the lack of cover in thee most important positions.

The only lack of cover is CB which is understandable but if we can get through to January with Mina and Keane fit we can just get someone on loan and be sound.

I know this is a forum and all and we need to talk about something but the state of this makes me want to pluck my eyes out.
Last year we missed a forward and cover at right back and this year we got that and more but missed out on a CB. To let you in on a little secret you are not going to have a perfect transfer window unless you are just missing one player and are in the champions league to be able to get the tried and tested variant. Until then it will always be on the risky side - too young or maybe on the down slope of their career, perhaps questions about being able to step up to this level and so on. It is also funny how most of the posters that complain that we have had a bad window also worry about spending lots of money on players who are in that category, which is exactly what Brands would have had to do to bring in someone else.
If he failed to get it this time I'm pretty confident he will bring it in either in Jan or in the summer.

Exactly. We actually have pretty decent cover everywhere but CB. We look exposed but every team has had struggle filling the CB position. That's why Utd paid £80mil for Maguire, that's why Arsenal brought in a 32 year old.

we could get lucky , like the RS did last year and hardly have an injury … but if we do get a knock or two we literally wont be able to cope
its soooo frustrating … as we seemed to have the cash to get us some players in, but chased ungettable ones all window.
