    Still feeling good after yesterday’s huge win, but also feeling a sense of dread over our apparent lack of doing anything in the transfer window. Pls Arsenal throw us a bone in the next few hours.

      Imagine a Tomiyasu-style signing where they drop the Colney arrival video and all of us are frantically searching for who the hell this kid is

        It is how we roll. But I don’t think it’s likely, tbf the options that are attainable aren’t great.

      I still think the bottom three suck that much that it’ll be a cushion for them and Everton

          Unfortunately as much as we would love to see it, Spuds will be fine. Again, the bottom 3 are so bad. I do see Leicester staying up and Wolves (to my sadness) finally going back down though.

        the way the women’s have signed better and more than the men’s and we’re not even really competing for much with them.

          I mean did WFC signed for better? Maybe as a stopgap, I certainly hope it works out. Summer is where WFC will really have to get a move on because of contract expirations and other teams week step up their game.

            Kelly and Nighswonger is not bad business, especially the latter. Definitely better than nothing at all.

              I agree it’s not bad business but definitely not a long term thing. We still have kids out on loan too and do we have any plans to integrate? Viv Lia and Michelle Aygemang are great prospects but i feel like Aygemang is always out on loan. Katie Reid needs to go out on loan too unless if she is the women’s team MLS and is that much farther ahead in development.

                Reid’s already been playing, tbf, I think we’ll be fine with her staying, that’s kinda why Veen left anyway. Nighswonger is a long-term fix, at least, though we do still need a winger (which could be Kelly if she kicks back into form).

      He’s stuck with them for a while, might as well make a few bucks.

      Chelsea is like a real estate flipping agency now.

      Not a massive surprise IMO. He wasn’t a terrible defender on a general level. He was just far too slow to handle English football. Italian football seems a little slower pace and more tactical. So he might be okay, at least as more of a squad player.

    Another window we will look back at with frustration if we don’t win anything again this season. A gaping hole that we aren’t being proactive enough to fill.

    We didn’t need to make any transformational signings, but we just needed someone half decent as backup.

    Looks like we’re fucked in this transfer window for bringing in another attacker. Urgh.

    If I had to guess (and I understand this is military-grade level copium), we’re holding out on Aston Villa to see whether they’ll come down from 60M for Watkins, but we’ll eventually meet in the middle at like 45-50M.

        I’m so curious to see how he plays at not-United. I couldn’t blame anyone for being dragged down by that shitshow of a team, but his body language has been awful for months now.

          I reckon he’ll be decent for Villa, better than he has been for United in the past few years, but I’d say he’s well past his peak.

            Well well past. I don’t understand their finances right now. They’re taking on almost all of Rashford’s wages and they were supposed to be up against PSR in the summer…

                That’s the confusing part about the whole Watkins saga - there were rumors that we were in for him, then they sold Duran, which made it less likely. But they’ve also loaned in two players… why, if not to prepare for someone else leaving?

    Haven’t had to do this in a while, hopefully the bot’s fine. I’ll try to contact Eabryt and see if there’s still a problem tomorrow.
