Would be more surprised if we didn't see them starting games together before Christmas.

But keep him away....
Nevermind.
Noticw Us, Woolwich, City and Liverpool -4 clubs who are generally well ran and have good transfer strategies over past few years are the quietest so far this window whilst Utd and Chelsea are loud.
The genius of Daniel Levy
Is that every year for 5 years …. Poss more
Didn’t poch just miss out on signing this fella
Has to be at least 5 years...
I think you are right there was a Poch rumour same time as the Tanguy and Gio transfers ish,
Woolwich and liverpool haven't bought a single player though. They won't be closing the gap on City at this rate. If they get anyone in, they won't even get a full preseason with the team.
With all these links to random midfielders perhaps Ange is genuinely looking to play 6 mids in his starting lineup lol.
Not really true tho...
Not commenting on quality but there are plenty of clubs doing business. UTD, VIlla, West Ham all very active. Chavs have done a fair bit already.
There are clubs like us Liverpool and the scum have been a bit quiet but there are transfers to be done.
That is my point, I was actually agreeing with you but making more of a general point about the state of market at the moment.
Definitely, Villa finished ahead of us and have spent a decent amount but none of their signings are really moving the needle for me (apart from Maatsen maybe?).
They've done a lot of business because they had to beat the initial FFP deadline, might look okayish now but come the end of the window I think it won't age very well.
I thought with Munn coming in, Levy was meant to be taking a step back?
Same for almost all youth prospects from all clubs. Only a tiny percentage ever make it at the top level.
Probably but I see that as they are working as a team, if he has skills in negotiating and brokering deals then it's a good thing he steps in, did the same with the Dragusin transfer as well.
If we had Villas window. People would be complaining.
Just qualified for the CL and they've:
- Sold their best midfielder and replaced him with someone inferior
-Signed Ross Barkley on a free.
- Signed what would have been the equivalent to us re-signing Jack Clarke.
I do think Maatsen is a good signing, but he looked so physically below par when he played for Chelsea last season.
Yeah I guess but I usually think of transfers in terms of quality anyway, not just how much is being spent. Yoro's really the only one that I see as a quality signing.
Possibly, he was part of a group with Edwards that along with Chelsea (who/were always strong) really owned a season and where miles above most youth players in the country. At least would have expected him to be a mid table prem player or get to where Edwards or Walker-Peters got but he just fell off a cliff.
