You need to be less frustrated with the persons lol

Why? I patiently waited until the window closed to state my take on it all. I think we are in a needlessly dangerous environment at multiple positions. Some of the damage was already there from multiple incredibly shit buys during windows past, but some also has come from poor decisions this window.

Robert improve a little bit in this last months and probably they are waiting for mike development in french

IF Penders fails to become viable and we still refuse to upgrade then we are in serious trouble I fear at GKer.

It isn't like there are even many options left now.

Diogo Costa 
Mike Maignan    
Guillaume Restes    
 

and three 30-somethings bridge (to Penders) players

Jan Oblak   
Emiliano Martinez    
Alisson    (IF he leaves Pool next summer)

 

Not 100 per cent sold on Zion Suzuki  

Kobel is poor with his feet

[Pizy 19,280]

So what’s the UEFA sanction situation now after that window? Are we still restricted in future windows?

Will we be able to go big next summer?

We may not need any more signings come next summer.considering who we have already signed and due in for then,out on loan etc.. there's atleast 4 with a legit shot at being in our 1st team squad next season.

Maybe Scalvini if he has a clean injury free season. 

I'd say 100m for next summer ,1 or 2 additions should suffice and be relatively easy to raise. I wonder if u.e.f.a will if sanctions still in place have something like we have to sell from our A list in Europe again.

Almost certainly won’t need any wide attackers. Likewise fullbacks. If Penders does really well on loan that’s keeper sorted.

But I can definitely imagine that if Lavia spends 80% of yet another season injured and Essugo doesn’t cut it we go big on someone like Wharton. If this Buonanotte kid actually plays regularly and does well I suppose we’d keep him for good.

Can also see us going for a world class CB.

Not next summer..definitely not Neto,Gittens at worst a loan but I don't want to get involved in the mass appeal of premature judgements.

I quite like Facundo but without having an "option" in the loan I don't think he'll end up with us beyond this season regardless.we won't if he doesn't impress and Brighton will want too much if he does.where as we already have likes of Quenda,Paez,Rabbaj in the pipeline.and not looking for immediate starters.

I think he will do a job for us, which is sufficient, Brighton will then try to pull our pants down in the summer, maybe (maybe?) we don’t go for it and he rots at Brighton until the following summer and they shoot themselves in the foot.

its just as, if not more, likely that we get fleeced.

We will have a right call from brighton board that give us the chance to match the bigger bid for facunco from other club

In a year, there will be new GKs who force their way into the reckoning you'd hope

The board are gambling on Sanchez ironing out his game but I do see the GK market this summer was pretty middling. City have signed two keepers for good money but I'm not convinced by either signing

We are signing the Strasbourg captain Emegha in a year I believe. Facundo is just a stop-gap to give options in attack

I am well aware of most all remotely acceptable keepers and simply do not rate them enough to list. GKers almost never explode out of nowhere.

The only other one who I came close to also listing is Noah Atubolu of SC Freiburg

Emegha is a CF

[Mário César 1,483]

If facunco do really well with us, I believe we can try his buy but depends of the exit, ofc, cuz our focus probably will be center defense and goalkeeper position and then depend ofc of the departures

He is/was very highly rated, right? Will be not easy to sell himself from there.

I see our former "next big thing", Xavier Mbuyamba plays there too.

According to the International Centre for Sports Studies, Sanchez is the 6th ranked performing goalkeeper.

sanchez errors, most of them, was when he trying to pass the ball. I think in the last months he change a little bit the approah which gave us less goals from his errors
