How Dry should our Powder be?

At last I get it , it’s all risk management. The hotel , property, concerts , NFL and go kart track are a hedge in case we are an unsuccessful team . City , Chelsea, Woolwich , Liverpool and United fans deep down are very unhappy with their all in on football glory over the last 25 years .

We hedged our failure , you’ll never sing that
Eh?

Read the discourse Ed, you really haven't got it.
 
I wasn’t digging you out mate , probably should have just posted it rather than done it as a reply when the thought came to me as I read yours .

Sorry if you thought I was having a pop at you
Mate, I know you better than that.

FWIW, I currently rate this window the same as you do, we could have done more, but unlike some on here, I don't think AP is lying when he says he's satisfied with this window. He's not interested in getting players for the sake of it.

I'm disappointed that we didn't at least make a play for Nico Williams, I nailed my colours to the mast there, but I happen to trust what the club is building, so I'm rather chilled TBH.
 
Hindsight is a blessing but I'd honestly go through a window and sign no-one then the shit we signed in 2019, that nonsense set the club back years.

Yes. But to not do a single deal is the ultimate in standing still or arguably going backwards. Both windows back to back absolutely did us though, of that there’s no debate. Ultimately it ended with us losing the club’s leading goal scorer. Had we got both those windows right, who knows what would have happened.

We didn't solve key issues at LCB/LB, while I'm quite pessimistic about how our right wingers will perform this season... Odobert only got 3G 2A last season in the PL which shows he needs to develop significantly.

In reality it's an extremely poor transfer window in relation to the 24/25 season, while it may be a good one for the long term.
Not only is he a year older now, but he was playing for fucking Burnley! Jeez...
