Is this a good transfer window for us?

Postby PeterParker » Fri Aug 29, 2025 2:37 pm

Three days to go. How do you rate it?

I have mixed feelings. It seems we are not going to resolve the right-back situation, which is a massive issue for me & we failed to get rid of a lot of the deadwood in the squad.

At the moment for me it's been bang average. And like PP alludes to, the squad is still too bloated with deadwood.

But equally, have our rivals had better windows? Arguably not

Bloated with deadwood, walking sick notes & no right back

Hate it so much, but the murdering cunts have been spot on so far. If they get Guehi and Isak, they will have one of the best windows in years.

I think Arsenal have done pretty well too, to be fair.

The dippers defence needs work on it. And IF they get Isak and Guehi.

Arsenal have gone all in on Gyorkes. Who has a huge learning curve ahead of him in the PL compared to Portugal.

Chelsea have had arguably the best window for me

Cherki, Rjeinders and Ait Nouri are all class signings and we haven't paid over the odds.

Fantastic window.

Shift Akanji and one other before Monday and it'll be even better

Glass half full. Some good signings. The spurs defeat. No RB
Keeper situation. No Haaland back up. My gut says same as last year. OK until we get our arses handed to us. We’re not at the level we need to be, I hope I’m wrong.

Spurs game was awful, but I am still positive. I think it was a baptism of fire for a bunch of players that will be key this season. I’d rather lose spectacularly getting Reijnders and Cherki up to speed than on one counter attack playing keep ball with the old guard who aren’t going to win us the league.


I think the window has been 8/10. To get higher we would need a RB and to shift 3 players.
Tracking back is overrated.

Really? I think it’s a shocker they all looked awful against a half decent team last week.
Liverpool already ahead of us imo and if they finish the window with isak guehi and now rumours Rogers they’re 20 points minimum better than us.
Arsenal and Chelsea stronger also I think we’ll be competing for 8th to 4th spot. A massive drop off in 2 years.

Young players in a new team are always going to be a little inconsistent.

I'm not basing my opinion on one match alone. Especially a defeat to Spurs who always seem to do a number on us.

Let's have a bit of calm and balance.

Witrz for Liverpool has looked like a rabbit in the headlights at Scouse and nothing like the £120m they paid for him. The striker looks alright but again he's only played two games, Nunez had a good start for them.

I've not been impressed by Liverpool at all, didn't deserve to win either of their matches and let's see why they actually sign before deciding how good their window has been and not who they're rumeroured to be signing.

I imagine Chelsea will be similar to last year with inconsistencies due to their revolving door transfer policy.

Arsenal are the ones to worry about for me now they brought in Eze

Liverpool should have had 1 point from both games, they've looked shit. Bit like when we beat Fulham last season but we're terrible and should have lost and went on the bad run soon after.
Reijnders was best midfielder in Italy last season, Cherki will be class and we can hardly blame Ait Nouri for last week as he went off injured. Fit for tomorrow apparently

It's been ok 50/50.
No right back and all this dicking about over keepers are a negative for me.

Very average for me. Phillips Grealish still on the books but loaned not sold. Of our buys, i like Reindeer and Trafford but Cherki might just be a cameo player others i'm not sure will survive Pep's brainfarts. Eddy and Ortega? , Akanji?, Sav ? Dias and Lewis rewarded with new contracts but they are inconsistent.
Echeverri deemed not good enough for Pep this year. Khusanov not good enough for Pep ever?
Stones, Silva, Gundog will always get a game no matter what.
Fucking bored with this manager and his tactics.
I expect Brighton will beat us easily. We are as brittle as dry twigs

Would have been a great transfer window had we shafted baldie. Nothing wrong with the players, the manager is the problem.
