Transfer window closed

This window we have brought in players from PSV, Ajax, Villareal, Toulouse and Getafe.
Have we had to change our focus as Championship clubs try to squeeze more money out of us following the proft from Olise and Eze?

Probably. I believe we did look at a coupe early doors but the prices were silly - not unlike the silly prices the Big 6 want for their Academy products who they need to sell so they can buy expensive exotic foreign players and bank 100% profit for PSR purposes.

It's the sign of the times that there's not a single player from Liverpool or Manure in the England squad. When was the last time before this year that was the case?

A 4, or a 5 if it was sunny or you were in a good mood after she made you a bacon sandwich?

yep and to compare you could say Wharton who cost us around the same he played 26 games his last season for Blackburn and 18 the season before.

Remember Doak is coming from Liverpool so the price will be higher.

I was surprised Harvey Elliot went for 1 year loan and they then purchase him for 30m

How do you rate the window out of 10..??

In

Yeremy Pino €30M
Jaydee Canvot €23M
Borna Sosa €2.3M
Walter Benetiz - free
Christantus Uche - loan

Spend €55.3M

Out

Odsonne Edouard - €4M
Franca Umeh-Chibueze - loan
Matheus Franca - loan
Eberechi Eze - €78M
Jemiah Umolu - loan
Malcolm Ebiowei - undisclosed
Rob Holding - free
David Ozoh - Loan
Tayo Adaramola - loan
Danny Imray - loan
Jo Whitworth - loan
Owen Goodman - loan
Sean Grehan - undisclosed

Net spend -€26.7M - so profit

For me only I “first teamer” out and 5 in - including a keeper - so on the face of it we’ve strengthened in quality and depth - albeit the one out was Ebs - but encouraged from the little we’ve seen from Pino, add to that Uche..

But the usual SP procrastination ensued culminating in yesterdays Guehi fiasco..!!

Why on earth SP thought Brightons 5th/6th choice centre back would be adequate replacement for Guehi is beyond me..!!

Strategically the window has been a shambles - no plan, no strategy - again I cite yesterday as yesterday as a prime example..

But there was more too much focus on the Europa/Conference thing - an argument we were never going to win the moment Lyon were reinstated to League 1.

We’re now in a position where Chairman and Manager have publicly disagreed - leaving us with a very unhappy Manager and Captain, which can only be disruptive.

Having just won the FA Cup, Charity Shield and qualified for Europe for the first time - I was expecting more investment - for example we’re still a centre mid short - could have got Gallagher..

Then the delays in transfer dealings meant we were ridiculously short in our early games - 2 keepers on a numbers light bench in Europe.

Due to the lack of numbers players got injured Sarr - hamstring out return 2/10, Wharton abductor - no return date.

This is all due to not doing our Business sooner and getting quality depth in earlier..!! When will SP ever learn..!!

So for me it’s a paltry 3 - mainly down to the procrastination and the impact that has now had..!!

Uche is a loan but has an obligation to buy at the end of that loan which is £17.3m
 
If it wasn’t for the Guehi, drama, and the slight bad taste it left it wasn’t that bad as windows go . Pino, is quality, you don’t play double figures for Spain if you are not. As long as his fitness is good this is an excellent buy, and goes a long way to fill the hole left by Eze,. The two late deals look solid enough, and we kept our captain, so no replacement needed. The performance and result at Villa, was fantastic,, without Eze. Dwelling on it was spoilt somewhat by the Guehi saga.
So not sorry it’s over because our on field performances just get better with time and we don’t want it ruined by the politics of transfer windows.

All very nice - but what’s your point..!!

Are you seriously suggesting that our available funds in the transfer window is solely dictated by the funds generated by the Eze sale..??

If so where has all the money from previous sales, league, sponsorship, gate receipts Sky/TV revenue etc.. gone..??

Beyond that Parish aside we have owners with a combined wealth of £17Bn..!!

Before you say it I get that rich owners doesn’t automatically mean funds to spend - but other clubs seem to do it with imaginative accounting - how/why are we any different..??

A yearly operating cost base of -£30m, its all in the accounts.

Do you understand PSR, you can't spend what you dont generate, its holding Newcastle back from mega spending, who are far richer than we are. It was instigated by the big 6 to ensure that clubs can't rival them.
