Sure but this is not a normal window, we start playing PL in less than a month, start the EL qualifying early September and have Cup games as well. Also, we have a ton of needs, always here about how impossible it is to get used to the EPL and how hard it is to get a team to gel if guys are coming in late.Add to that the only rumours are the ridiculous Bale/Dybala/Maitland-Niles media garbage and it is concerning.
Could be that there is a ton getting done without the media knowing, could be we pull off a ton of stuff late, but with us needing at minimum a new RB and a back-up striker and ideally another RB, another CB, another CM/AM, there is a lot to get done if we want to attempt to challenge for Top 4 with not much time to do it or a track record of getting stuff done in the transfer window.
Aye just play a LB at RB I do it all the time in fifaIt's just so bizarre.
We constantly complain about not signing players, have literally one RB, and everyone (including me) is thrilled to be getting rid of him. Sure, we'll have no RB's but Serge sucks, so....
If Skipp is on loan, Khedira on a free is worth a shout if he's interested. What could it hurt?
Stuttgart are his boyhood club and just got promoted back to the Bundesliga, one imagines that's where he'll end up, but we'll see.
His legs are gone I’m surprised he hasn’t moved on to the MLS
Scraping around in shit trying to find free cheap players, sure feels like a normal window to me.
I don't think Khedira has anything left physically and don't see the role he would play on this team.
I would hope we could do better than him at this stage in his career.
I sometimes put Lloris out there for the bantz...
Memories are returning to me of what Dembele did to him in the away leg two and half years ago....
Someone as talented as Rabbiot: yes please
Someone with the character of Rabbiot: no thanks
Still bothers me what he said about our club
Isn't this the guy whose mum calls all the shots?Someone as talented as Rabbiot: yes please

Dembele humiliated him a couple of years ago when we played them. Legs well and truly gone.

True. But if we worried about what people said about the club, most of us wouldn’t be allowed within five miles of the ground.
What’s even more bizarre is that the club seems hell bent on selling Aurier, our only right back, before signing a right back. Instead of doing what most competent clubs do when building squads and actually strengthen the depth of their ranks. We’re just so inept in the transfer market it honestly just makes me laugh these days when people try and defend it.It's just so bizarre.

Jose had Higuain at Real , the striker scored plenty, and he also signed Khedira for Real. A reunion in North London?
If we are selling him we’ll have something teed up. Untwist those knickers
Remember the days when we had about 17 right backs, and then we went and re-signed Chimbonda on a free just for kicks?

Higuain is not what he was, but setting him loose against Colchester and Dynamo Nowhere might make a certain amount of sense. That never *quite* came off with Llorente, but it was the right idea.
