Deadloan Day 2024

QuincyAbeyie

I just stepped away for a bit and now Nelson is suddenly going to Fulham instead of Ipswich? What happened there? 😆

daredevil

Selling him would have been a poor decision. We'd have 8 defenders, 4 of which are Tierney, Tomiyasu, Zinchenko and Timber all of whom have varying degrees of injury concerns.

Gazza M

Meatwad we know the names. Williams, sesko etc. I'm not being critical of missing out on the main targets this window. they said they didnt want to leave their clubs. I'm actually ok with the business we've done, and the squad is well rounded. what I'm saying next go around, no defenders or rando opportunistic deals.

QuincyAbeyie

Chelsea fans really not happy with the s
Sterling deal. 🙂

USArsenal

QuincyAbeyie I cant imagine why. He will strengthen us (a little bit), and there's no loan fee and we only pay half his wages. Thats a horrible deal for Chelsea,

Gazza M

QuincyAbeyie no loan fee and 50/50 split on salary is a laughably bad deal for chelsea.

sterling was solid in a shambolic Chelsea team. there's still some gas in the tank for him produce for a functioning side

Burnwinter

QuincyAbeyie Edu has weighed their options and pushed it to the line to get us a great deal if reports are to be believed. Loan with no obligation on half wages would be an excellent situation for a player who truly can be useful—I'd bet you Arteta will get something good out of him.

Trossard and Jesus will both be a bit pissed or anxious ... 🙃

This has ended up being a very good window.

Sterling pushes it up to 8/10 window. Lacking that absolute premium quality to make it 10/10 but we've addressed all the right areas.

HomeSteak if less than 50% is true it's amazing business.

Meatwad you don't raise the ceiling with cast offs. You have to break down the door and take players. You don't just see who's available.

I like Radio Raheem. Bit old news, lacks the sparkly feeling of someone truly fresh and new, but I feel mildly placated by it. Especially as the deal looks so bad for Chelsea.

Losing Eddie, ESR, Nelson, and Ramsdale all at once and getting a Chelsea player on loan in compensation is just never going to feel good, though. We needed something much more, someone to invest in and excite us after seeing so many emotional departures. It falls flat, and in the end, this window was a failure. Only way to make up for it is to win the goddamn quadruple.

Qwiss

Coombs it's not been an exciting summer. Last summer we felt like a club pushing hard. This summer we don't. Only Calafiori feels like a really serious piece of business but it's in an area we were stacked already. I hope next year makes up for this.

RocktheCasbah

Sterling official now.

RocktheCasbah

Well, Sky Sports official.

Absolutely disgusting imo. Can't believe the best we can do is still hiding behind Chelsea's bins on deadline day to pick up what they throw out so we can help them make more room for new signings to improve them. It makes us still feel not fully serious. Can't see that Sterling offers anything at all at this stage but at least we can give him back and aren't stuck with him I guess.

Gazza M

invisibleman18 there's levels between what sterling offers as a saka backup vs nelson. think of him as another trossard level guy. he respects arteta so he's unlikely to take the piss, and arteta knows him well. if he hits form he might even earn a start at LW

We have to assume there were other forward targets over the last couple of months that haven't panned out ...

flobaba

Burnwinter just think about what you know about Arteta and what you've heard. I think folks who are complaining are doing him/Edu a great disservice if they're thinking we half assed the transfer window, after the pain and heartbreak of the previous two seasons.

I think we have done the best we can do under the circumstances, and I think we have done well. Remains to be seen if we have done well enough. Let's go Arsenal.

est

Wtf 😅

Did they have this video made in case we make a big signing and just put Sterling in it? Doesn't make any sense.

invisibleman18

Gazza M hope you're right but can't see that he offers anything other than attitude issues. Perhaps a few years ago but not now. Just feels disappointing we still can't do any better than taking what Chelsea throw out. Makes it a poor window for me but fingers crossed I'm wrong.

flobaba

Gazza M burnwinter definitely likes this

Meatwad

invisibleman18
