Reddish-Blue

Not sure who else he was supposed to bring on? There were only two choices, Madueke or George as we had no striker on the bench and Felix ran off to Milan. Anyway, feel like the bigger concern for the rest of the season is actually in midfield as there's no rotation available for Caicedo or Enzo.

Of course the bench is going to be weak. Jackson, Guiu both out injured, Lavia & Fofana made of glass, Mudryk suspended, Felix loaned out for some reason with no replacement.

Funny thing is, Guehi would be the best CB at the club (if he was to come back). Chalobah was only called back because they realised they can't count on Fofana or Badiashile for any serious minutes. That's how poor our current CB's are 😆

Lavia and Fofana out of Conference League due to injuries. Palmer, that new french youngster we signed and Chalobah were added.

You realise that Tosin is 27...and he was added to the squad in the last transfer window.

Everyone knew that was coming, why else would Mendes help Felix go to AC Milan on a 6 month loan? I wouldn't be shocked if Milan tried a Tomori for Felix swap deal in the summer.

What did people expect? Spurs to suddenly change and become a team with winning mentality? Will never forget them sacking Mourinho before a cup final.....like that's your 1 chance of potentially winning a trophy and you sack a coach with so much cup history 😆

Slonina is still only 20, and he's had 1 season of European football under his belt. As for Penders, there's no way the club bring him in next season for first team football, will definitely be a Courtois style, loan for 1-2 seasons in a good league. If Sanchez survives the next transfer window....then that means we've settled for being mid-table.

It seemed like the plan for our attack was: If United were happy to take Nkunku , then we would take Garnacho in some sort of swap deal. I don't get how you sign an attacker like Felix in the previous window and then come January, you are happy to accept a 5 million loan deal with no buy option attached. Bottom line: guess this means minutes for T.George and M.Guiu as we have no other backup and Mudryk has vanished.

I feel like alot of clubs are going to be chasing Essugo in the summer. Looks a proper midfield talent.

How does the buyback work though? Let's say someone bids 60 million for Delap, do City still get to buy him back at 40 million or do they waive that right and get some sort of sell on clause instead? Would make sense for City to just activate the clause and sell him to the highest bidder. No wonder why they wanted that clause into O'Reilly's deal.

He was fine at Monaco, keep him to his limited role and he'll be fine. I didn't get why the club/Maresca decided to use him as a RB, he wasn't a great defender to begin with and then you put him up against wingers and attacking mids....

Well....at least we didn't add that Brighton striker! That's a massive positive from the window.

Probably also the fact that teams are now looking to drop off our other attackers and focus on marking Palmer, keeping him away from the box where possible. It's a shame but top 4 is well and truly gone, and if Potter does beat us at the Bridge, leaves plenty of question marks for Maresca's future.

Looking at that front line, you take Palmer out and we aren't any better than mid-table. United reject on one side, ex-Spurs youth on the other and then we get the guy from Wolves who can run around but doesn't know how to score 😆

Obi Mikel just needs to critic Jackson again, that's what had him in form and converting those half chances earlier in the season, trying to prove a point. Now look at him, seems like he's forgotten how to score goals and that's a bad sign for a young striker.

If we are actually loaning out Felix, we are not a serious football club. 😆

We signed Pep's assistant, we got Joe Shields who is from City and loves their academy talent (pushed for Lavia even with his injury concerns). We then signed Sancho because he was from City's academy... I bet the next 2 targets on the club's wish list are: Delap and O'Reilly.

Odegaard will give Havertz some free tap-ins and then we'll have to watch him celebrate against us. We looked scared to take on City and then Arsenal humiliate them in the 2nd half of their game.... Maresca will go to the media after we get hammered by Arsenal and say: "We try to be brave".

They have Salah and then x-factors like Diaz, Gakpo, Jota

Great, now we're stuck with a player that doesn't want to be here. Will be same as Felix, just waiting around on the bench.

I reckon Disasi still goes on deadline day. With the Carney to Dortmund rumors, wouldn't that take up the international loan spot?

Garnacho isn't deadweight, he actually has the skills and is much better than both Sancho and Madueke. Deadweight is having Nkunku and Felix sitting around on the bench, either play them or let them go elsewhere.

Would they sell their best player in january, they have every chance of fighting Leicester/Wolves for 17th place in the PL this season.

Arsenal wanted Sesko as well but Leipzig said no transfer in January, doubt that changes.
