So here's the explanation at to why the João Felix deal hasn't solved Atleti's FFP woes...

Turns out it's a loan (otherwise FCB would be the one with the problems). So the lack of a fee means AM can't sign anyone.

I'm not even sure that the Carrasco to Al-Hijab is done and dusted with the rials in the bank yet. Even if it is, it's only €15 million so not enough to be a game changer.

Obviously that effects (affects? Bill ???) the Hog deal but I won't cry myself to sleep tonight if we keep PEH.

14 all comps, 10 in the league. His 7th consecutive season reaching those totals.

I dunno, I share a degree of concern, but just stating the facts.

We have loads of attackers who know where the goal is, even if we're lacking an out-and-out classical striker type.

We made an addition today where goals will be an expectation.

I agree with the above

I meant 20 plus league goals.

Kane scored 30 league goals out of 70 goals last season, nearly half a big chunk. Can't see anyone go anywhere near that figure this season.

Funniest post of the night.

Take Maddison out of ours and what do we have?

A team that finished 8th that sold the player who got them points to stop them finishing 4th from bottom and shifted a bit of deadwood by loans. What team are you following?

Woolwich finished 2nd with 2 of their best players injured all season who are getting back to full match fitness.

Plus they laid out 100million for a… oh yeah we cant mention that.

Good old teflon. He‘s a god for some.

Lol mate. The man is living in your head rent free.

I'd go to arsemania if you want to praise the gooners mate.
 
Imagine Liverpool selling Salah for 150m three weeks ago and bringing in feck all as a direct replacement after all that time left of the window. We'd be calling them a banter club, a club in disarray, a club majorly on the decline.......:sonhmm:

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.

30 is a pretty rare total.

But Sonny has scored 23 in a league season playing for Nuno and Conte.

IF he replaces Richarlison in the middle and IF the Angeball system is really humming and IF he finds the rich vein of form he often has in his career, I don't think 25 is impossible.

That's not a likely scenario. But it's a possible one.

There are three PL golden boot winners in the league this year. Haaland, Salah, Son, that's it.
