For as shite as we are, using our name still works wonders.
If all stories are true, Zaha got fecked a bit by Arsenal.
Get used to it as it's not going to change and only will get worse as our cash stops flowing in due to being unsuccessful on the pitchSo in "huge" and "most important" transfer window in years, our net spend will be zero.

Zaha was the first choice but as soon as Palace failed to negotiate removing the sell on clause to United it was always going to be difficult. In my opinion there was no chance of Palace accepting this kind of deal that they have with Pepe. They wanted a large chunk of money paid upfront and Arsenal could not afford that so had to move on.
This is new low for us. We laughed how they have 40mil "war chest" and look at them now. Shambolic stuffArsenal having a better window than us
Just pay the release clause for Thomas Partey
its happened we are fecked, what has Ed been doing since May?When Arsenal have a better transfer window than you, you know you’re in trouble
That would be far too sensible
Pure economics mate.its happened we are fecked, what has Ed been doing since May?
Makes it a lot easier to appear defiant when nobody is willing to pay the asking priceWhat? Great time to find your balls, Ashley. Where were they when you were selling your best players weeks ago?
Couldn’t agree more. Maguire and WanB would be a box ticked on defence for this window.
Massive failure on midfield considering we’ve lost Fellaini and Herrera, Matic has fallen off a cliff and Fred hasn’t adjusted. Our response is to sign nobody.
As for attack we’re betting all chips on Rashford and Martial exploding this year cause I don’t see James setting the world alight although it’s a decent enough signing squad wise.
Window has been a disaster, no other way to look at it.
Pure economics mate.
Let’s play it out:
1. Can’t get rid of deadweight so no transfer income or wage savings
2. This leaves us with our starting transfer budget only
3. If we overspend the budget from 2 above on below top tier talent is it worth it? I mean, even if we sign Maguire for a record fee, we will still be battling for the fourth place. Have a bad few fixtures and we end 5th/6th anyway after significant outlay.
So may as well not spend over our budget.

Apart from AWB this window has been a complete disaster and people are yet again laughing at us and how we do business. The lack of incomings and outgoings which we were promised hasn't happened and the gap will only get bigger. I fear Ole won't last the season and don't let the pre-season form fool you, with basically the same squad as last season were we were hammed by the likes of West ham and Everton the beaten by Huddersfield and Cardiff, let that sink in
I feel like if the Maguire deal dies just before the deadline, Alderweireld could be the fellaini deal of this window. Not in terms of skills, i mean that we could possibly sign him for a higher transfer fee after his clause expires. Simply because Woodward needs another signing before deadline.
