A couple more windows should see us in great shape. Focus to be on getting a striker, central midfielder and another option at rightback.

Yup, agree. I've got my eye on Alexander Isaak for next summer. He's the one that looks the kind of 9 I love, with the perfect profile to fit what we would need. An example of a player we had zero chance of this summer, but if, and it is a big if at this stage, we can put together a good season and re-establish ourselves as top 6 club, we might have a chance at next summer.

Good lord.

Those of you suggesting Royal 'preferred' Spurs over Arsenal, I believe this troll is your source. Blimey.

It's much worse by us if he didn't prefer Spurs but we simply wanted to buy another CB instead.

Yep. I always said wait till the end of the window to judge but now it just seems like we splashed on all the wrong places. At least Tomiyasu is a good signing and value for money in the end.

I now believe Barca were considering Lacazette when they are signing De Jong

Fair chance we will if we can keep Partey fit.

It’s actually better to face Chelsea and City early on whilst we are in disarray because chances out we will have lost those games even with a fully fit up to speed squad.

Rohit

I don't see it with Tomiyasu at all. I hope these guys know what they are doing while deciding on talent.

Big Willie

These guys have proven they don't know what they're doing over the past 2 years. What makes you think anything has changed since?

Rohit

Because in terms of individuals - Partey, White, Lokonga, Ødegaard, Gabriel are all players I can get behind. I like that the staff saw it with them. That collectively the squad amounts to a mish mash and priorities, football ideas, all seem very absurd is another thing.

I am struggling to see it with Tomiyasu as a RB talent or even a first choice CB.

Yeah, I told myself this in 2007.

Even if they are right about the quick fix I can't see Arteta as the answer

To be fair that midfield of Cesc, Hleb and Rosicky behind RvP and a Theo Walcott with potential was shaping up well.

Should get at least 5th then seeing as that's where we were 2 years ago.

Arteta isn’t a quick or slow fix. If anything, he’s going make the fix take longer than it needs to be by causing more problems.

Clrnc

Still can't believe how badly run Barca is. Had to let Griezmann and Emerson go because they still can't register some of the other players despite Alba and Busquest taking a paycut today just for the purpose of registering the injured Aguero. Insane.

And we didn't raid them at all.

Ray

If we sent Arteta to raid them, he’d probably come back having spent 40m on Braithwaite.

Clrnc

Talking about 40m, can't believe Atleti willing to let Saul go for just 40m euros next summer in the loan option.

Hope we do well enough this year to have a chance to sign Joao Felix next summer. Atleti willing to let him go for the right price because their finance cant take it.

Qwiss

No move for Eddie?

QuincyAbeyie

They couldn't agree personal terms apparently.

Rohit

Kolasinac is still here. I find that unbelievable.

Balogun should really go on loan too, to a Championship outfit.

mentalvortex

Turkish window is still open for another few days.

Hopefully we will find a buyer for Kolasinac and Elneny and not stay adamant about some unrealistic transfer fee in return.

Don Pacifico

To be fair, if we sold them at the prices those Turkish clubs were likely willing to pay, you'd still get a tonne of people saying we sold for peanuts and that we're a terrible selling club. All of which may be true but at some point, you have to start changing the perception that we're easy sellers, even if it's a tad painful in the short term.
