How many players will we sign between now and the 1st of sept?
- Thread starter Kevin
- Start date
Don't worry the 'Redcafe goes into Meltdown thread' will provide that, and i'll be trying my hardest not to vent in it myself
Griezmann and Laporte will be a perfect end to the window. expensive and unlikely but hey ho, i voted 0
One and it'll be Kane on deadline day
(or Mueller or Bale or Neymar)
(or Mueller or Bale or Neymar)
If we get through to CL group stages, 1 or 2. If not none.
I think I said one but now i'm not sure. The club are very secretive unlike other clubs who prostitute themselves out every transfer window. Maybe one could be two.
If players are actually waiting to see whether we feck up a 3-1 lead before joining, then clearly they don't have much faith in the team they're about to join.
It's a 0 for me.
One, the best realistic option is Griezmann
It's all gone very quiet.
I'm sticking with one, a keeper, as I still think De Gea will depart.
3 or 4 outgoings though. De Gea, Valdes, Evans plus maybe one of the fringe players.

Cillessen.
You could well be right though. It is now very late in the window for such moves given Ajax would need to secure a replacement.
Dont think we are signing anyone else, just a hunch! I don't think the targets we really want/need are available! No point in just buying for the sake of it!
I do agree with that, I don't want us to buy for the sake of it.
Sounds from Mike Keegan's tweet this morning that we're done and we're not expecting De Gea to go this window.
I think if we don't bring in another forward, it will be because we have strong reason to believe we can land one of our main targets next year, be it Bale, Neymar, Muller or whoever, and are prepared to wait.
None Nun Non.
I think this. Bale next year would be a seriously risky move though for the money they would want. Kane has been effected by all the transfer talk I think plus Spurs have been shockingly bad so far this year and are creating nothing for him. Griezmann now Bale/Muller next year?
Kane deadline day seems ominously predictable however........
When I watch us I just keep thinking we're waiting for our game changer to get back from injury, and then we'll just click. Then I realise this is it.
I want to believe someone is coming in, there's really so little smoke though. But things can happen very quickly.

0 or 1. I think all the exciting business is done. The one might be a keeper.
ZERO
Yeah pretty much done! Unless someone amazing becomes available who will improve on who we have, which I doubt. I am quite pleased with the business we have done and if no ones available then you can't bring them in.
The people that can improve us are un-gettable.
Squad depth looks fine, we might sell Hernandez and buy a backup striker, but nothing major

Still confident @Kevin ?
Very true and I agree on the business we have done.
1. Neymar
No, am left in tears with my posh evisu pants down for the past week whilst sullenly giving my limp cock a sympathy pull or two. All is lost and my arse has been left in tatters.
Nah, calma calma my little ponynho. Still confident.
Dig at me?
I thought you were probably right at the time of posting this thread, but it's looking increasingly unlikely. I was looking to you for some hope!
I know you were. But alas I have no source to pull info from other than my calm, sane and logically thinking persona. Do you trust me?
0 Zero Zilch Zip
I'm growing more and more confident that we'll sign nobody.
But I'll stick with my decision of 1 player. Could likely be some random youth player, that counts right?

Wednesday's game has given LVG a bit of relief in the fact that he won't be hounded at today's press conference about new signings, Doesn't mean we don't need them though.
I think we'll get some random attacker - not Bale, Muller or Neymar - more obscure like Bolasie, Berahino or maybe even Gaitan.
I'm still saying zero but I'm going to revise a little. I think we'll sell 3 (Valdes, Evans & DDG) but I don't think we'll replace De Gea as LVG seems happy with Romero, who, incidentally, I believe will turn out to be a calamity soon enough :/
I still got a feeling there will be one out of the blue
One pacy attacker. We've got a huge amount of money left to spend. Buy a stop gap or pay a huge buyout like Griezmann's. No point leaving ourselves short.
Januzaj is a punt right now. Memphis is a top quality young player, but he's going to have his ups and downs adjusting to a new league and how tiring the leagues relentlessness is. That leaves us with Young and Lingard. That's not enough quality attacking pace.
We need to give ourselves the best chance possible to score goals and create. We're not settled in the top four yet, let alone as title contenders.

4
Neymar, Bale, Greizman, Laporte, Otamendi

Oh very close
I went for 0 because if actual targets aren't available we won't be making moves.
And I don't think anyone wants another Falcao or Di Maria.
It's disappointing, because we are clearly a striker and another pacey winger away from having an excellent midfield and attack. But I like the idea of Depay, Herrera and Mata behind Roooney.

No point zipping up Tuesday morning then.
