Transfer Window Thread

It's actually a bit weird how quiet it is at the moment.

I have no idea what players we will bring in. I have a small fear it will be none.

The thing is, it's really not just Everton that aren't signing players. Spurs and Southampton have both sold ~£35 million worth of players and only spent ~£10 million. Arsenal have only brought in Cech. Villa have spent £40 million, but they've sold just as much. Stoke are looking at a ~£10 million profit.

Of the "fiscally responsible" clubs, only Swansea and West Brom are spending (along with Everton), and even then their expenditures have been modest. Palace, Newcastle and West Ham are throwing around cash, yes, but they aren't exactly clubs whose lead I'd want to follow anywhere.

It's too early to tell if prudence is the smart play, but it's looking like a trend amongst a certain type of club.

Živković is boss on Fifa.

Maybe he can be our number 10?

...grrr

...the more cynical suggest we are not signing to save on wages. Surely that isn't the case and we are more likely playing brinksmanship to get fees down as window closes.

He's my "ran out of money and need a striker on deadline day" loan.

Deulofeu? If anything he hinted that we would sign him in that interview, he just said it was an awkward situation with Barca's transfer ban

Sure he said it wasn't gonna happen because of the transfer ban.

We're probs both right we just translated it differently.

 

[BlueToff]

So there is no truth in this? Just your thoughts on who he should be looking at?

No it's just a suggestion at a possible target. It will most likely never materialise.

Not sure if anybody posted this link - check out Shaquiri in training for Inter recently.

Which is fine. And if we didn't have glaring gaps I'd be more than happy. But we have serious areas that need sorting.

The silence is deafening and very predictable - not falling for the smoke and mirrors routine Roberto wheeled out Sunday

We had to wait till after the 1st August till we got sky money.
