How..how much under?

Solanke turned into Mr. Glass when he arrived here. Now we used our deadline day deal for his replacement instead of getting a LW smh
It can't just be bad luck or coincidence... We damage EVERYTHING we touch!



Liverpool signing Guehi for 35 million is the deal of the window.

They really have had one of the best windows I've ever seen
£35?? Pffft, derisory.. they're so small time and cheap..... WE offered double that in Jan!

Just shows you the lure of being Champions!
 
Are we done or what?

Probably, possibly ir who knows, but many thought we were done a week to ten days ago.

Some are still waiting to put the boot in once the window closes, because they are mental.

First window for Frank, and not been bad on the face of it, and could have been a bit better.

After the international break, it's time to see how we get on. I think it will be a bumpy ride this season but at least there is now a sense of hope and a modicum of direction.
 
With Kolo Muani incoming....I am more than happy with this transfer window . 8/10 for me.
I think I need a recap (only new ones, not 'finalising or making official'):

Transfers

Ins:

Xavi Simons
RKM
Palinha
Kudus
Takai

Outs:

Son

Transfers required

Ins:

LW
LCB

Outs:

Biss
Solomon
Gil
Veliz? (I liked him, would have liked to see more)


Son leaving is a sad day, but makes sense. Getting those first 4 in is a very good window. The other activity is meh (any positive mood mitigated by loss of Son). Still time for a LW/LCB to bring this up to an 8 or 9.

7/10.
 
It amazes me how Every season Levy puils the same stunt and we have hoards of happy claps "Happy about the Window". Other teams finish their business way before window closes. They go after their No1 targets and make sure they get them. With us, it always what bargain we can strike at the end of the window. We have pre season to rake in millions from the east and not to get players ready. We aim for Eze for 2 seasons and dont get him, but we are happy. We got Simons and Muani but it was again on the fly. For once I would like to start a season with 22 worthy players and not rummage through the bargain bin last minute

Well, I would really agree with your post, had it not been for the 'bargain bin' players Xavi & Muani turned out to be class above what we could have....

Xavi was such a dream signing, most didnt seem it as realistic enough to include him in the dream signing
Kolo Muani age wise & form wise, is better than what we have in squad.

So one hand you could hate the process but the end result is we have 4 players who improve our starting XI

Even City & Chelsea and Woolwich are at awe at what champions Liverpool are doing. I would first compare us to us than us to the league winners.
 
If id had pontificated that we'd have brought in 4 first teamers in this window with one of them being Xavi Simons, most on here would have laughed me off the board....

Now saying that the window being an 8/10 is generous....
 
Replacing Kane is impossible unless you expect us to get Isak or something and even then... 😵‍💫

The problem with you is that you don't give us any expectations at the start of the window and you always move the goalposts anyway, had we got all these players in you'd still find a way to downplay it as it gives your stinky agenda room to manoeuvre so you can point your fingers at the board.

Sneaky sneaky :sonpoint:
For example, he claimed we were 8/11 odds of signing Morgan Rogers yesterday. Three times I asked him where he'd got that from, guess what? Silence. Just a complete and utter lier, there's no other word for it. And of course utterly disingenuous with any opinions on how we operate as a club - expectations expressed that we will be useless, followed by disappointment that we've not hit ludicrously high standards - how can it possibly be both?

I'm fine with people being disappointed after the MGW and Eze messes, but anyone who fails to recognise that we've turned it around and actually now had a very good window is either just being a dick for sake of hating on the board, or is just an incredibly miserable negative person who will never see good or optimism in anything. God only knows what such people must be like in real life. :/

Recognising that it's pretty much impossible / unheard of to fill all holes and requirements in a single window, two weeks ago ours was maybe 6/10 - now surely 8/10 at least (recent key injuries don't help the squad of course, but you can't cover everything, injuries are not the fault of the recruitment team).
