Plenty of cover in the back-line but God knows what we are thinking with the midfield/forward options. The kids are going to play a lot by default.

feck we're limp. Decision makers must be braindead to think Maguire and AWB is enough to make our shite team competitive.
Exactly.
And if that was to happen we would probably end up just wasting a whole window just trying to replace these two seeing as the club now dont want a player to come to club just for better wages but yet think a high quality player will join a average top 6 side showing little ambition with an inexperienced manager for purely footballing reasons and we will once again fail to add in other areas yet again and throw in more youngsters with our fingers crossed.
Maybe just take it seriously, it's our best chance at a CL spot.
I didn't even credit that part with a response.
No this is incorrect.
Fans are happy with James, Maguire and AWB.. none of them are world class yet.
Fans want an improvement on the squad as it is now.
They should announce it too just to give us a bit of news on deadline day.
“Here we go! Pogba agrees to one time payment of 5M to just keep quiet this season. Will be off next summer.”
Using the kids is great but we needed another starter! At least one more to really challenge for that top 4 spot. Shame.
Ed, together with 50% of our fanbase would definitely approve that, sounds like a great plan of rebuilding something.Fans for the most part are idiots.
Almost every club in europe had a better transfer window than Spurs last year and they still went to the CL final and finished top 4. Not every problem gets solved with spending cash.
I do however hope that we get another midfielder, but it wont be a disaster as some try to portray it.
And for those who think that spending 14 mill for a has been 33 year old striker with a wage demand of 150 k a week is a smart idea needs to have a word with themselves.

The coverage is already over?
I agree but we know we cannot attract world class players but there are many players under that bracket we can go for.
You might not think so but get the scouts working and you will find gems. Tielemans for one.
I'd only start Sanchez ahead of him and that would only be of he did well enough to continue starting. The kids ready, maybe not for chelsea but he'd tear up a lot of teams playing with our full strength squad I reckon. Just don't trust Ole enough to give him the game time to prove what he can do
That depends on whether you see the roof as a defender against the rain or an attacker against the rain.
Do people genuinely think that rebuilding a whole team can be done in one transfer window? Maybe I give this place too much credit for being sane and rational
Yeah making 4 first team signing is mental...
Except plenty other clubs have done so this summer.
Zaha would be the ultimate game changer singing. Bruno looks good but he'd need a season or two to adapt to the PL.
If Everton give us £25 million for Rojo, we should bid for Zaha

I see it as a roof, and a house without a roof is not a good house.That depends on whether you see the roof as a defender against the rain or an attacker against the rain.
Good dmc, 26mil. Shame that we don't need midfielder, especially dmc.
Very average player, don't want.

Most fans like myself would be happy if we had solved at least 4 first positions, I dont think that is much to ask for either for if the club was in a competent manner
in the next life
We're on course to spend a maximum of around £45m net. There was over a month in between the AWB and Maguire deal. We had time to plan this and no international competitions in our way.Do people genuinely think that rebuilding a whole team can be done in one transfer window?

It is completely reasonable for fans to expect more. It's actually mad to think that this is acceptable.
I agree, he's matured a lot and is a better player now than when we signed him. Hed be a success here this year
Have you read some of the comments about James?
Most people are happy with Maguire (apart from the fee) and Bissaka because they improve on what we have.
If you want to improve on Matic, Fred and Mctominay, without getting a "world class" player in, you'll be looking at spending 50-80 million (bearing in mind Fred cost 50) and you aren't even guaranteed an improvement.
My point is we've rebuilt the defense (roof) so the original analogy is a bit backwards.
I don’t necessarily want world class midfielders, I’d have been happy with Longstaff. Something to show we’re addressing the problem areas of the squad and building for the future.
Saw a stat on Reddit showing that Fulham had a higher net spend than us last summer, and Villa have a higher net spend than us this summer. It’s shocking. The Glazers aren’t committed to success and improving the club, and they have Ed play the media all summer to make the fans think we’re interested in improving the squad, then pull the plug at the last minute. The season starts at the weekend and they hope we’ll all forget once the team is back on the pitch.
Too logical move for us
There are sane and rational posters on here, they just get drowned out by the countless hysteric doom and gloom merchants on here. Sell deadwood, we do and they still complain talking about "Woodward wants that net spend down". Can't wait for Sunday, quite excited.Do people genuinely think that rebuilding a whole team can be done in one transfer window? Maybe I give this place too much credit for being sane and rational
There's just no talking to people like you. If suitable players were identified/avalable and willing to come then they would be signed. Can't you put 2+2 together?
Can't you buy a new roof that is willing to cover you and only you while not demanding a high wage?
An umbrella maybe.
Me too.
Worked out well for Fulham didn't it.
Newcastle aren't selling Longstaff. They said he isn't for sale.
