Summer Transfer Window 2017

[blue to the bone]

So last season our striking options were Lukaku, Valencia and Kone.

This season it is Sandro, Rooney and DCL.

We have improved the goalkeeping situation and one of the centre backs, but we are still very familiar in the rest of the defensive players.

Gylfi and Klaassen brought in to get more goals from midfield.

i honestly can't decide if we are just a bit or much stronger than last season at present.

We are stronger. But not any stronger then the teams who finished above us

I'm going to make Ham and Eggs.

Fell asleep for 20 minutes. Who have we signed?

Are we guessing about your dream ?

Striker is weaker but no way is the whole team. Martinez left the club in a mess. Will take time to fix.

I´m not saying the whole team is weaker, but the team we had 1 year ago would beat the team we have now more times than not. And that´s just awful in my opinion.

Jim White sounds like he's out of steam already, definitely needs a line or two during this beak to get the momentum back

Ooof

I think we have a much stronger squad, but the striker issue is the decider unfortunately. It feels like the missing piece

 

[Azza]

Matt Law is back at it.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Spend 45m on Sigurddson and not have anyone to get at the end of his crosses ! Basically like pulling the fittest bird at the club, taking her home and the guy down there doesn't rise to the occasion!!

That's literally the same thing

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

Suddenly the thought of Andy Carrolls head on the end of one of Gylfi's sexy crosses doesn't seem so bad

*Slaps myself in the face*

Sorry guys, it's been a long day, I don't know what I'm saying.

 

[Bungle]

Probably still abar 25 according to his birth certificate

Also says white British, which is suspicious.

 

[FC sexy xxx]

I'd have Naismith back

So.....

After selling a 25 goals 24 year old international striker. Where are the goals coming from this season? We have scored 2 so far in the league , both Rooney in the rare occasions he isn't keeping schneiderlin company.

Lewen has struggled to really test the keeper (plucked from two divisions down 12 months ago) and sandro is going to take time to get going so isn't going to rip the league up this year.

We are genuinely going to struggle to score this season through lack of a lot of things. I'm not moaning, just trying to take stock of the season going forward. We need a massive team effort to get results and we aren't going to do that sitting on our 18 yard box and hoping to hit it long over and over

 

[nsno-chris]

None of those three you listed are centre forwards. DCL perhaps.

So 16 goal Sandro isn't a forward

 

[Matelot]

How many games is a Danny Drinkwater going to get at Chelsea?

Considerably weaker?

We are going to be playing a full front line of CMs and our CBs are a year older and even worse (not.including keane obviously).

And coleman is injured.
