I think there will be on more signing, likely a midfielder. It's a different sort of window this year because of FFP considerations (unless you're Chelsea) and there's fewer teams chasing the same number of players. Who knows, maybe even a surprise outgoing. Richarlison has really only said he doesn't want to leave the Premier League. He might accept a move elsewhere within the league. Unlikely, but if the front office got creative not impossible.
Ivan Toney off to end his top level career in saudi arabia. Think it shows much of his attitude, no prem club took a bite at 40 million, (arse really could use a forward) and Toney himself seems ready to just end his international career and chance at winning anything substantial when he could choose a club next summer or better yet resign at brentford and knuckle down
would anyone still take this guy over Solanke?

Well, Mr Postecogolou, if that is indeed the case, all we can do is send you our very best wishes for the long season ahead.
Keeping our powder dry for next summer. I really think the 24th summer window is when Levy comes into his own.
Whilst there's always a chance with 9 hours to go, Ange just said that's it.
Don't think anyone wanted him in the end.
Do you feel like you've been backed in this window?
Yeah. Yeah.
In terms of the age profile, was that always the explicit plan from the start and how important is that to the club?
Well, it was definitely part of my plan because I think when you're trying to build or rebuild a team, you've got to...look, all managers hope they're there for the long-term, but the reality is that you don't know how long you'll be there, but I've always tried to build teams that will last over a cycle which is, you know, three, four, five years.
It's just a natural consequence of that. You're looking at a younger demographic, a team that will grow, that will improve, that will adapt to the challenges ahead. So, like I said, when I got here it was a team that, even from a demographic point point of view, looked like it was at the end of a cycle.
A lot of players who had had great careers but were either ready to move on or getting to the end of it. So that combination with a different approach for me, it was definitely part of it to go younger.
Yeah. Yeah.

We're getting a lot of loans for youth players this window.
Well that was clever.
I mean that’s bollocks he buys players and never plays them all the time Phillips and Nunes being the most recent examples.
If we do this irrespective of if he is any good , as i have no idea ,i will have custard with my humble pie please .
No room.
Our back up GK is unlikely to even be named in the EL squad.
Don’t know about Nunes, but it’s sounded like Phillips might have been foisted upon him, possibly to meet homegrown quota.
He’s certainly given the impression he’s a player he didn’t particularly want.
I'm not sure about Nunes, but Phillips is shit. I have no clue why City bought him.
HG quota. Stop a rival buying him.
