I agree with J and MC but I think we still have time to get some players in to make it a solid window. I have hope!

6 Days and its all over with! cant wait!

I can see us ending up with Berahino to many people's displeasure. I actually rate him but know many on here don't.

It was always going to be a problem this window, we are trying to attract higher level players coming off the back of 2 really poor seasons with no Europe to offer.
 
It took City ages and they still aren't fully there. We all need to be patient, better times are coming but it wont happen all at once, we need to sit back and enjoy the season, im sure there will be a few set backs but things are on the up!
 
I do feel we will be in a much better position regarding players come Sept 1st.

Completely agree.

Back to this transfer window
 
Spending £30m on a top goal keeper would be a great move in my eyes. Look at how many points we have lost over the last few seasons due to GK Errors. I think a new keeper is as much of a priority as any other position.

Welcome, Yannick. Prove me wrong

Perhaps we can sell mirallas now? Petulant little schmuck that he is.

Ehhh ok seeing these quotes it's hard not to get excited for this one... Think I'm changing heart and agreeing with others - this side and Koeman will give him a much better opportunity to utilize his skill set than he had at Palace.

So....you want him to be bad?
 
I know it was a mistake aha

Andy Gray - "Sometimes he is a 9/10 sometimes he is a 10/10 but more often than not he is a 3/10."

Just Mata and i'll be made up.
 
 
 
 
Or Toni Kroos.

Yeh definitely. I like Mirallas so I hope he does come good.

Bolasie isnt better than Mirallas, but is he better than Lennon?
 
Defensively Williams is much much better than Stones, lots of fans saying Stones will be amazing in the future but that isn't guaranteed! The signings we are making will make us a much more solid team and harder to beat. We've been push overs for 2 seasons now. Williams and Kone in defense sounds good to me.

In years past we spent big on first team players and had dross on the bench barring one promising youngster. Finally we are buying bench players that can compete for starting spots and everyone is pissed we didn't get better starters. Players get injured and lose form regularly. It's a long campaign. With 4 proper wingers we don't have to worry about square pegs round holes. We've added steel which we desperately need in defensive midfield. We sold a "flash" player in stones and got a better defensive player who adds steel and leadership.
 
I really don't understand the nay Sayers. We've been 11 two years in a row and fired a manager. It's a rebuild and this looks great to me so far.

We just have to trust that 2 proven talent spotters, in Koeman and Walsh, know more than we do! Well, in terms of how they will fit into the squad.
 
They won't get every transfer right, but they have a very good track record.
 
The moves we've made so far this summer...Koeman and Walsh included, are not bad at all. OK, compared to our own self made expectations of signing 'big name' players/managers, it may be disappointing. But in terms of adding strength to the squad overall, the names being linked aren't to be sniffed at.
 
Realistically this season, we are only looking to climb up the table to a more respectful position of say 6th at most, 8th minimum. Then build further on that. That's where my mind is at anyway. And I am OK with that this season.

This

We laughed at the shite taking Mane for £34m....he actually scores a bucket load of goals.
 
Bolasie....just doesn't.

Seriously doubt we get Draxler.

I'd pay the 65m just to end this shite thread

At the end of the day, the transfer window as a whole is not really taking off like it usually does by now.
 
I think most PL clubs are being quoted daft prices for players and are resistant to pay up.
 
Bar the usual Top 4 (& the annual Liverpool give away!), there's nothing too extravagant going on.

Mangala?! You have to be fucking kidding me. I want the French Titus Bramble nowhere near our defence. I would rather we go find Senderos on whatever scrap heap he's currently residing on and bring him back here than have that piece of shit.

Leicester averaged 44.8% possession vs Villa 47.3% - Leicester had the second lowest pass completion in the league.
 
Its fair to say that both players have had a similar job to do from a tackling perspective.
