All in all, an appalling transfer window when you look back on it.

Spent 5.5mill in total on Ayew and McCarthy.

Recieved 50mill for AWB but didn't spend any on replacing.

No cover at RB or LB. And we are worse off with strikers than we were this time last year.

So we have to watch Ward being raped time and again by every left winger we come up against and our front line consists Of three strikers who have scored less over the last couple of seasons than some centre backs...... great...

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Great, just great. No RB, no striker, no wing reinforcement and an unhappy player staying. I really hope Camarasa has some silky up front skills and McCarthy finds his pre injury form because with AWB gone I feel we are going to have to score a few more goals this year if we want to compete.

Not quite sure what to make of Wilf and Parish. Does anyone think Parish will ever explain what is going on?

Fuming. I know everything sky says should be taken with a pinch of salt.. but all we've signed is players in positions where we have the most quality cover.
We sold arguably the second best RB in Europe and havent replaced him.
We also go into the new season with 3 strikers that are not upto the job.
I love this club, but based on this, im not surprised Wif decided he wanted to go and handed in a transfer request. He probably found out the spending (or lack of) was finished and thought bollocks to this, im off.
Lets face it, with the current squad, its another season of relegation battling again.
Everyone around us has really strengthened, even Brighton.

I hope our business isn't over because our three strikers haves scored about three goals between them lately.

How are we supposed to compete?

The Zaha leaving think was probably a bone to throw to fans as a distraction from what has been an appalling window.
The AWB money not reinvested in signings and not a sniff of optimism for this season other than the loan of Camarasa.

If we have spunked money on a CB and central midfielder rather than a striker and right-back, I will be f***ing fuming.

Get in a f***ing striker for Wilf to link up with, for f***'s f***ing sake, and we might be a club he wants to play for. And don't sell our f***ing right-back without lining up a f***ing replacement.
