That was my argument. If January is useless & the summer vital. Then the right man should have been here at the start of the summer for that very reason.

You're just rambling.
You said we didn't need a CM. We did. We bought one.
Instead, it seems you'd rather us have wasted more of our window chasing another player that would have just ened up at Liverpool.
.....Also; are you typing with your toes?
Not thinking about it at all. You just seem like you're angry about it
Alright pal, let's pretend Liverpool offered more. Of course Porto would prefer more money than less money. So now, if we imagine that Spurs had offered more, based on the above rationale, you'd think that Porto would indeed prefer selling Diaz to us, right?
But then, big badaboom, what if the player said to Porto that he really didn't want to go to Spurs, but really fancied Liverpool? Cause you see, a player still has his word to say in a transfer. Incredible, eh? So then, it doesn't matter that Porto would accept Spurs' bid, because the player wouldn't sign for us and would stay at Porto if need be...and they'd be missing out on LFC's big money as a result.
And here's another thing. Most of the media reports that Liverpool didn't actually offer more money - or at least, not that significantly more and not an amount the player wouldn't have happily covered out of his own pocket to get his dream move.
Conclusion: Diaz wanted to go to Liverpool and not Spurs. Same as Traore wanted to go to Barca over us...knowing he's getting lower wages there.
But by all means, keep thinking that it was just a question of us not offering enough money/LFC offering more...no matter how erroneous your opinion is, you're still entitled to it
Bye Dele...thank you and good luck. One of my favourite players of recent years
Yep exactly.
I'm happy with the players we have brought in, and can't honestly say we will miss any that have left (apart from maybe Gil), but it's still very underwhelming and o sign that the club is seriously backing Conte.
Christ...Put me on ignore please, for the thread's sake, cheers.
NO.
NO.
Facts are MORE important than fantasy.

Surely not the last three.
Believe it
Heard he's having an aspiring career as an actor and Prince William's buddy.
So does anyone think we've improved? Actually strengthened our weakest areas?
Great day for levy, managed to bring in more money than we spent and reduce the wage bill. Not sure this was the time to make cost savings and go backwards in terms of nil real investment.
Massively disappointed and hard to trust the new guys going by the singing over the last 3 or 4 years and before anyone foolishly trys to jump on that - Ndombele GlC and Gil - rotten rotten rotten

I do think the Goons will pull off a very last minute move for an Isaak or equivalent - it's gonna cost them, that's for sure. But then it'll probably be a Pepe v2.0 so go ahead you fools! Or Barca will do one on them and say it's Auba vs De Jong or Braithwaite
Wouldn't be surprised to see West Ham go all crazy and sign someone like Icardi or Morata on loan with option. They surely gotta realise it's dead with Raphinha by now. But they're desperate for help, so they'll try til the last second to get anybody.
Man U is a funny one. Wouldn't be shocked if they suddenly spent 100mil on two names, but equally wouldn't be shocked if they did zilch...or if they just re-signed Pogba to an absolute insane contract. United gonna United, basically.
Whatever them 3 decide to do/not anyway, I only really care about what we've done so far and could still do.
None of this happened lol
lmao let's hijack this one for the summer
Yea it really is. I don't know why we spent 3 weeks chasing a player we weren't sure on, with seemingly no back up either.
It's a 6-6.5/10 window for me.
Overall I'm quite positive about it the incomings, as well as the outgoings. I am however a bit perplexed how we didn't seem to have improved any of the positions that were identified at the start of the window. Minimal links to a forward of any kind, none for a true creative mid. And one for RWB, which was arguably our most pressing need.
Still think we're better than we were at the start of Jan, but it's a weird window regardless.
