Ok llorente, bony, that's just two who would of did a job
We've had months to identify a replacement for the Snake. Months !
There is plenty of decent strikers around who we could of got in had we offered the right money/the going rate for that level of player. Yet we didn't !
Frankly, it's nothing short of embarrassing and extremely poor management to allow this club to enter the final day of the window scrambling around for what appears to be a panic loan deal...... To replace Lukaku.
Cringeworthy.
Costa is and was only going to go to Atletico.
We did talk with Giroud and looked like we were in good shape until after he scored the week one winner and changed his mind.
I think you are thinking Benteke being a shoe in is a bit off base. Crystal Palace are in a relegation battle and they just paid 32M for Benteke my guess is CP would ask for 50-60M for him. I do think he'd be a good fit but I don't think he is available at all.
That's how you conduct your transfer business. You get a replacement striker in before you sell your star striker..
But Boris Johnston said it was ok....???
We replaced Lukaku with England and Manchester United's all time record goalscorer.....
What a club this is. Off to a great start in the market and a failure to finish off the project. Its like decorating a house. Get it all washed up sanded and undercoated etc and then when you go to buy the gloss top coat you find out the shop is shut. All you neighbours have shopped late but bought the gloss and look like finished show houses. 7th place at best and without lukaku we will be under pressure to stay up there. Doubt me. See ye in may.
Remember when everyone was talking about us in June/early July about the fantastic new signings we'd made?
' Everton are going all out '
I'm surprised we've not been linked to Charlie Austin.
Come on you're exaggerating there. WE've got three CB's. Two of them contributed heavily to our best defensive record since 1989. Add in Holgate and that's 4.
Garbutt can play LB, not ideal I'll admit but he's still there.
We've got Lennon, Mirallas and Lookman for the wings.
Sandro is an out and out CF imo. He can certainly play there.
Im still hoping for several players tonight but it's not quite the nightmare scenario you've painted.
Not happy with the current levels of fume.
I want it to go NUCLEAR.
Whats the major difference between City/Chelsea/PSG and the rest of world football
