The influence of Sterling. Disrespected their team mates,their coaches,the club and fans. Glad Poch was seething over it at the end tho personally would have substitued them straight away and sent them to the dressing room. Conor did somewhat intervene but clearly not respected by them as captain.another thing we have missed in recent years.

I'm still traumatized by the goal we conceded,that was below sunday pub league level.

Is playing no better than i expected to be honest,a new player needing to get used to playing with new players but doesn't have to make the leap to a new league and language so that has helped.think he can go up a few gears in future and chip in with goals himself.but a decent start. Maybe we'll never find out why Pep was willing to let him go but won't be the first time a great side has let very good potentially great players leave. Strangest part for me was that he was never loaned out but maybe they just needed a decent fee for FFP. Much like we sell our homegrowns for same.

The nobody over 25 policy is misguided.maybe if we had an old squad and only intend on buying 4-5 players,it would be fine for one window. Business wise it's like having unlimited 1st round picks in NFL drafts with the added bonus that if they don't pan out you aren't trading them for a 7th round pick,they retain their market value longer but for football reasons it's not so great. I'm fine with waiting a couple of years but ownership can't expect the model of running like dortmund,Lyon,Southampton,Ajax etc with the idea that unlike those we don't have to sell our young talent that become good to work if we hire and fire like our previous regime,PSG,Real etc..

Mostly positive about our transfers from January onwards. Some slightly negatives being overkill in the LW/RW departments in general since TB and company took over. I'm several decades removed from being a fanboy of any particular player but when signing or having a youth player come through that you may feel needs a year or two on loan,then deciding to buy 3-4 players of similar profile,isn't an approach i'm a huge fan of. I am quite happy with the Palmer signing,think he could do a good job in at a push 5 different positions.,i think he's footbally mature enough. We been more sensible in other positions.aside from Ramos wasnt much available this window.no doubt Broja got till january to get fit and firing or we'll go nuts deep for a striker Santos loan to Forest was a cluster fook we should have some breakaway clause in.don't think we went overkill on DM's so much but we signed maybe too many CM's that don't offer enough in attack so far. Casadei i woukdnt have loaned out after length of Nkunku injury was discovered.

Not quite a red flag..maybe a pink flag,him having fitness issues supposedly due to his future being up in the air is more than a tad unprofessional.was he thinking of refusing to play if desired transfer didn't happen,was he thinking if somebody pays 50 plus mill for me i can just coast into the season in autumn ? Still a teenager,lots of talent,more potential signed up for years etc... Hope the injury isn't serious and he takes his rehab more seriously than summer fitness.

Google didn't exist the last time we had a mancunian in the squad if i recall correctly. Terry Phelan. Good vibes about him.

Most of those teams won't "park the bus" and by then some of our wrinkles should be ironed out.most of currently injured would have returned by then,Lavia should be out of fat club etc...

My own personal experiences in following CFC and life in general allow me to keep my emotions in check and understand what is happening,why and how it's likely to get better. It's a work in progress,it'll take time,some would look at what Rembrandt is painting after he's just started and say it's shit,others choose to wait a while,others until it's completed.

Havertz with the air shot.. Onto us we looked promising in pre-season but large chunk of those have either been loaned out or out injured,then we have new signings having their pre-season now.we still have flaws that can't be fixed until next window but majority of them should be soon enough. Next summer i think we'll be in a position where we can get our smaller number of additions required in earlier,have a more settled squad.and start the season better than we have this one. Title was always gonna be out of reach this year but if we sort ourselves out soon enough we can catch the other teams.

Sanchez,Petrovic, RJ,Gusto,Silva,Disasi,Colwill,BB,Chilwell,CuCu,Trev,Maatsen Enzo,Caicedo,Lavia,Conor,Ugo Sterling,Noni,Palmer,Nkunku,Mudryk,Carney Jackson,Broja Makes 25.

Send Ugo on with 20 minutes to go with a 100 grand bonus for every Forest CM he can break.

Kinda did what would normally take 3 or more windows in 1. Not completed all that was needed to do but wasnt ever realistic in one window. Biggest positives Poch,shifting some expensive deadwood,beating scousers twice to najor targets,Keeping Colwill on LTD,Caicedo,Jackson,Palmer,Lavia,Petrovic looks a find,not personally against any of our additions. Negatives-Some departures that are more talented than some we couldnt move out.mainly Hall,Casadei,Santos. Looking forward to finding out over the next few months who Poch really likes..not so much cloak and dagger in press cons with the window now closed.

Won't hurt to stay,train and get used to the club for next few months atleast. Fill the Burstow spot if/when required.

Not really that many to be concerned about.some can play in sides below 1st team for a few months, Other windows close after ours..

Not quite a bride/groom jilted at the alter..but gotta burn. wonder if he gets to keep the bayern shirt he was pictured with..

I like Conor,but... Isn't really that flexible positionally,isn't that great at one position,has 2 years left and unlikely to be in our longterm plans. He's good enough to be in our squad for this season,but see him being buried in our squad in the next year or so by which time we probably aren't gonna get as much as we can get for him now. Wouldn't want to give anything nice to Spurs,but if we do and he has a decent career with them like i expect he would,doesnt mean it would be a mistake to have sold him.we should always buy,keep or sell players for what they can offer us.

They shopping like a granny whose won 5 grand on a scratch card and will blow it all in poundland tho.

If so send him back to us, their coach looks like an inbred gypsy carpet fitter and it appears just as shifty. Get Santos on a proper loan for 1st team somewhere.

Ì keep on doing a trigger/del boy when it comes to Palmer, by calling him Cole Porter.

Think we may target a utiĺity defender before window is closed ,someone that can add depth at both fullback spots and possibly CB but otherwise we completed our business for this window.

a potential backline of Slabhead,Cucu and the argie midget,they might aswell play a 0-6-4 formation.Onana seems to like wandering into no man's land..

They can have half each if they won't just get his carcass out the door.no need to push hard..

Pep saying he'll either stay or be sold he won't be loaned a few weeks back too. All the targets being banded about i'd be happiest if we managed to get a loan with option. So many potentially great potentially poor options,already here in that area.be nice to figure out which is which first before big costly commitment made.
