Summer signings

[Robioto]

Calm before the storm brother

Let's hope so! I'm pretty patient when it comes to transfer windows, but I'm starting to get a bit twitchy now.

I love people's optimism on here. Personally, I'm getting a bit worried.

The blind hate from some of our "fans" for Bolaise is staggeringly sad. Not his fault Koeman paid what palace asked. Plagued by injuries. When fit he is a very decent player and would be a good option in a front 3. Its seems some are not happy to just not rate him they seem to love to hate him too which is quite odd considering he seems a very likeable decent fella.

I think he's inconsistent at the best of times, but he has been unlucky because of his injury. With a really bad injury like his, he was always going to struggle and especially because he was rushed back. I like the lad but wasn't sure he was good enough for us pre-injury and he probably won't hit the same levels again now.

Same with Funes Mori. Of course we need better but celebrating losing players for under market value or when we’ve still got worse getting minutes is madness

I’d rather have kept Funes Mori than Keane. Unless we are getting about 10m for bolasie I’d rather keep him too. People happy with us paying him 60k a week to go play for boro are crazy

Mad the way some fans celebrated losing the best CB at the club for absolute buttons.

That was because we had plenty of time to replace him with someone good. But my preference would have been Williams out the door first. But he went anyway, so it didn't matter.

Another tentative link to Welbeck...

Mori is better than Keane, Williams and current Jagielka though, so it's not the best move either way if you ask me. I've got high hopes for Holgate, but it wasn't the most sensible move getting rid of Mori if we weren't certain of bringing in 2 top class CBs.

I agree. I guess they thought it was a risk worth taking. And maybe after his injury he wasn't showing signs of a return to form anyway.

Not sure he was the best of what we had due to the injury. He was only ok before it.

But what's done is done and we need a cb pronto.

I’m still worried like. We don’t look anywhere near ready!

Fully agreed, hopefully two.

Echoes of last season again isn't it. We were all waiting for the inevitable striker and left back right up until 11pm on deadline day and even then most of us went to bed expecting something late arriving in the early hours to be waking up to.

I'm sure we're a lot better organised this year and I believe in the new set up but maybe there just isn't the quality out there at this late stage?

[D15TIN]

Annoyingly quiet today...

Im sure a lot going on behind the scenes - in fairness the richarlison & malcom bids came out of nowhere

We need to stay away from signings like this, were not a comfortable retirement home for these injury prone, over paid crap players. He'd have no motivation. We need to target U25s with sell on value, that's why brands is there

[brap2]

Can’t see the welbeck thing.
