I'm giving this window an 8/10
We needed a DM upgrade and we got Palhinha. This also eases the pressure on our 3 young midfielders.
Kudus looks like a marvelous signing. The delivery from him and Porro on the right should be frightening.
Xavi Simons is a proper marquee signing. Only downer is that the PL is so fast, it might take him a little time to adjust.
Muani looks like a potential starter too.
We didn't get the full back we needed but I guess Gray and Davies can do the job there on either side.
Also, if we do get a CB injury, surely we could recall Vuskovic's from his loan
We also forget that transfer windows with too much change can be disruptive. I think we got that balance right.

probably still missing that real bit of creativity, not sure if simons is the guy, but even if he is, the front 3 and the midfield still lacking. grealish was perfect for the left to give the front line balance, that could be a huge blunder.
franks gonna have to come up with ideas in games like bournemouth because that was a disgrace, cant be seeing that again.

Astonishing stats. But understandable given that many players were being sold at £50m +, some of whom look quite decent value, others just over priced.
Liverpool by themselves spent about £450m, almost one third of PL spend despite ending last season with one of the best squads ...... yet still failed to sign Guehi, a much needed CB, and its 2 best players Salah and Van Dyke are 33 and 34, a Liverpool supporting friend nervous they will go the same way as Son and Lloris before him suddenly starting to look their age. Most of their money still coming from CL performances in last few years and the 'recycling of Coutinho money' !
I think he will be eligible to play unless there is a specific clause in loan agreement. uefa rules different from FA/PL rules
That imbalance is not good for football.
Yep, I think Parish is trying to steal Levys crown. I think we should simply stop doing deals with them.
Well if it’s our option which it will be we have a year to say yay or nay , it’s only an obligation that could be problematic for the potential buyer , ie you have to buy . Sometimes there are certain criteria that trigger the obligation, ie number of games played or CL qualification etc.
Listening now, it's pretty good, if a little dry.
The guy on the left's strange blinking bugged me more than it should have. I know we can't help our tics, but I found myself imitating it if I watched for more than a minute.
But the option makes him a better or worse player?
Why?
Who won the CL last season, the recognized premier European Trophy?
What about the FA, and Carabao Cup's. Big spenders didn't win those either?
When is the January 2026 transfer window thread opening.
Prob made ground on Chelsea and City but lost ground on Woolwich and Liverpool. That would be my opinion. I'd trade our window for them 2 anyway. I don't think City addressed their issues (Defence) and Chelsea didn't really sign anyone who walks into their team (Pedro will start but is he a massive upgrade on what they already had? Gittens doesn't even start. Garnacho is not better than Madueke).
It’s not mental but it’s hard to say Liverpool aren’t #1 because they didn’t get an England starter to be their back up CB, then name us #1 even though we didn’t get an aging CB from a bigger clubs bench to be our back up CB
Net spend again
Has to be the most meaningless stat in football
I really did not have us in mind for his number 1
