It really hasn't sunken in yet to just how incredible this transfer window was for us.

The sheer fact that we are now shopping at Marks And Spencer instead of Lidl is just hard to accept given the recent past transfer windows. 

The owners are really putting the money where their mouth is. We are extremely lucky to go from Roman to these lot...

We are watching one of the most exciting projects in World Football happen in frotn of our very own eyes and its our club... fucking love it.

 

 

Marks and Sparks????

I'm still amazed how excited about Enzo some people get like he was some Jesus lord savior coming here; Given he is greatly unproven player with absurd pricetag, I doubt the burden of needing to be a reincarnation of prime Hazard from the get go will help him much. But that's not the point;

I did read a lot of ridiculous things here, but calling us disgraceful laughing stock because TB was negotiating for okay player with huge potential and at the same downplaying the Zyiech situation or, even worse, trying to blame PSG for this is making my eyebrows raise. There is literally no place for such fuckup in pro football, serious club just cannot fail at doing basic paperwork and it's not something we should walk by past. Unless, besides being renowned as circus, we also need failed incoming transfers or another ban, because why not, "lawyers were busy with player we like, so no problem". I am afraid yes problem.

I am surprised you did not mention Fabio Miretti over Nicolò Fagioli

From what I seen in the more recent games Miretti has seemed to have gained favour with Allegri over Fagioli that’s why getting him would be more feasible. I heard they may be listening to offers and the boy can play.

Jorginho, Werner, Cucurella. 

Cucurella and Werner top players? And specifically meant this window. The post I quoted indicated players were willing to come here now than wait to go to City in the summer yet City weren’t linked to one of the players we signed except for *apparently* Andrey Santos.

From the article

 

Letting Kovacic go? Smdh. Injuries aside he would be a starter at most top clubs. Considering offers for him would be ludicrous. Even considering offers for Chilwell would be stupid.

Why isn’t anyone reporting we will look at offers for Ruben? Getting rid of him is surely a high priority alongside Aubamayang and Lukaku. Particularly if their talking about underachieving players. 

Does the club only plan on having 4 or 5 experienced players over the age of 27 or what too….

Either way lets hope GP can do something because you cannot say he doesn’t have the tools now.

I know why there is the speculation on Kova.

Kova turns 30 at the end of next season, and his contract expires right after he turns 30, on Jun 30, 2024

That is about the most unclear case of a player's age and contract expiration as you can get, certianly within a year either way for both age and contract relative to age expiration date.

If he was 2 years younger, then sure, renew him for 4 years, as he would be 32yo old at the very end (so the age of him from now until then would be playing at age 26, 27 to just turning at the end 32 (so 31yo in reality for the last year), aka prime AF years.

BUT he is not two years younger, so the same situ yields playing time from 28, 29 now to just turning 34yo, in reality 33 for most of the last year, so 2 or even 3 pretty not prime years.

Its a real quandary.

This summer is the last you can get max or near max money for him, we all know that except for a few CFs, then the top GKers, and of course Messi/CR7 types, the value slams down when you hit 30 years of age or more, especially 31.

Some people always fight with me (not just here, lol, every where I talk about footie, real life or internet) about my age theory for football, but look at the record, I am spot on I truly feel. I also am flexible and make more exceptions now, as I now have more years of real time observation myself, and have relaxed a lot on CFs and CBs.

Look at my predictions on fullbacks and DMFs and the 30yo age barrier, and how, for instance, I called Kante's downfall (and said sell him for several years) due to predicted injures (from both age and minutes performing his style of atomic pinball of death and destruction play) years in advance.
