Same shit, different window.
I think what I hate the most is not the prices etc, that's influenced by the market rate and Levy hasn't caught up with the real world on that especially with selling players.
I think what frustrates me the most is the poor planning every window, the last gasp nature of doing deals on deadline day because Levy thinks he'll get a bargain.
Now I didn't expect anything else from this window. The CB situation is exactly what I thought would happen once we signed VDV and Phillips. The sounds at the start of the window was 2 CBs in and that's what we got.
If you are reflecting on that window and thinking it was underwhelming then I hate do break it to you but you're the deluded one in all this. A leopard doesn't change its spots.
Another opportunity passed Levy by here, he could have doubled down on a good start under Postecoglou, with solid football. Not a fluke start like Nuno. There's real signs of progress here. Ange needed to be backed this last week and he hasn't really been.
I don't think it's right to rate a window so soon. Let's rate it at the end of the season.
I'm delighted about getting Maddison, been wanting him for 3 years. Finally got a creative link man at AM.
VDV looks promising and I actually have high hopes for Veliz. High enough that I think we should throw him in at the deep end and have him as a bench option to come on in the first part of the season. I know Ange said the opposite, but he can't be any worse Richy. He plays the CF role better than Richy that's for sure.
Regardless we have a game tomorrow to prepare for. Need the right attitude and application otherwise Burnley will slap us back down the M1 with a defeat.
