Very hard with the window closed. Go to the winter window thread if you need your Whyning therapy.
Whyne noted. Now please shut up about it.I still can't believe how poor our window has been.
We couldn't find a single proven quality wide man to sign? Our attack will be our undoing.
Odebert is way too raw at the moment.
Son is on a big decline.
Solanke who knows.
Johnson is a meek coward of a player tbh, the type of profile of player we should never have signed as he doesn't have the balls.
Signing Werner on loan was just a joke.
I just don't get our window because we simply haven't gone far enough with bringing in proven quality.
I don't know why the club was so umabitious with our signings this summer. To just bring in teengers and Solanke was awful. The first 11 needed proper quality upgrades and we failed.
Our attack on paper now looks one fo the weakest in the top half of the table. Alot hinges on whether Solanke delivers, because if he flops we are quite literally screwed.
7/10 window according to some dumb dumbs on here.I still can't believe how poor our window has been.

said it before if he is not happy say so and go, he doesn't need the money he won't be in the poor house if he call out the club/levyPure delusion.
Acting like Gray and Wilson are generational players. They might be, but chances are they probably won't be.
Honestly we will never know what happened and where it all went wrong this summer, but one thing for sure is, it will cost Ange his job.
He might have had a chance if we signed some top players, but now he has no chance. His naive tactics along with our weak attack will mean he'll lose his job.
I can't imagine Ange behind the scenes is happy, he was talking about title challenging, and we signed kids.
That isn't how clubs going for titles operate. I think Ange realises now he's at a club who just won't go for it, he can't come out and publicly slate the club, but no way on earth he is happy with our window, if he is he's an idiot.
This is the key point.Pure delusion.

The likes of Woolwich, Liverpool, Chelsea, City do not sign someone like Odobert to transform their attack.
Paul O kieffe so pinch of salt as while he clearly does have connections with the club (always has the team news) it’s still just his source.
From what he has heard we didn’t get Eze not due to the fee but the wages and we don’t want to pay over £150k going forward so it’s obviously going to be young players. They want investment so are fattening the goose.

Doesn’t say much about Chelsea’s players.Bale signed a 4 year deal in 2008 then another 4 year deal in 2010, then another in 2012. He had 3 years left when Real signed him.
He was easily one of the best players in the world at that time, but it still took Real all summer haggling to eventually break the world transfer record to get him.
Eze is good, but he'll be stuck at Palace if they try that.
Players who want to leave are dumb if they sign new contracts. Especially long ones.

Many people not to wake up regarding levy and ENIC.Pure delusion.

There's a defensiveness about the club, born of love of course, that Levy takes advantage of. This transfer window stinks to heaven. Another year of Ben Davies? Come on.He was most likely appointed because he's a yes man. It's the biggest gig he will ever get so he isn't going to come out and criticise the club like Conte did. Conte was right, the club just won't ever properly go for it.
If Ange is actually happy with the window he's a fool.

We're going backwards. One of the top 10 wealthiest clubs on the planet with the highest ticket prices in Europe and the highest boardroom salaries in the Premier league showing the ambition of a mid table team.Lol new stadium and no more then 150k we won't go anywhere for a long time. I really cannot see us winning anything in the near future
It just isn't as straightforward as that mate. However wealthy he is as an individual, he just ain't gonna walk away from a £multimillion contact with 3 years left to run.said it before if he is not happy say so and go, he doesn't need the money he won't be in the poor house if he call out the club/levy
But no he won't So that means he must be happy and he agreed with these players
