Id much rather Pulisic. I think Hudson-Odoi could be hit or miss.

i'd rather both. greedy. but Hudson Odoi offers more flexibility, Pulisic is better in one position and hides when he gets a kicking. both inconsistent.

We've obviously been busy in this window, but it sounds like we onto page 2 or 3 of our targets at this point.

 

They must be tempted to stick with what we've got and try again for the likes of Harrison, Maddison, Diaby, Ramos in January rather than drop £25mil on a French Chris Wood

Just the way it goes though isn't it. Page 1 is probably stuff where we're not quite there yet as an attraction or as a spending force, but you go for them and hope for the best. 

 

It'll not be long before page 1 targets are arriving and we're having to upgrade page 1.

 

Right I'm sick of talking about pages now.

So is 433 likely to be our go to formation next year? If so, this is currently our best 11 (imo).

 

This is where, after 14 years,  it’s hard to get your head around massive investment, rebuilding and accepting that a good few of these will be bench / squad players next season.

 

My first preference would be to replace Wilson, Fraser, Willock, Dubravka.

 

But won’t we still have plenty of cash leftover  

 

Mind boggling. 
 

 

So 5000 posts later and we are basically looking at the same team apart from Pope.

 

Yes we have Botman, but Burn and Schar were excellent last season so that was less of a priority for me.

 

We need a good last week or it’s a poor window imo.

Some of you need to get past this. Ever other club still expects us to pay over the odds for players, every agent expects us to throw over the odds money at their clients. It's not going to happen. Isn't helped when Forest are paying £40m for Gibbs-White, when Chelsea are happy to pay £60m for Godfrey. But the Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Pope, Targett, and Trippier deals show that we're not going to show our arse every time we want a player.

I wouldn’t say poor. Anticlimactic maybe. 
 

I still expect at least a couple more attacking players to arrive. Even if they are page 4 loan types on deadline day.

yeah, whenever those thoughts get anywhere close just think back to this time last year and our failure to find the £2m to get Hamza Choudhury over the line

Bllocks man  

 

We are a totally different club. I honestly can’t believe that anyone on here thought that with a week to go, we wouldn’t have improved the front 6.

If someone knows about poor windows, it’s Fish tbh.

Wasn't he on the books years ago or am I thinking of another Terrier?  I can't be bothered to look it up but presumably one of the stats men knows.

A RW is all i want 

[wykikitoon 16705]

There's still time. Hopefully Golum going to Chelsea will kick off the merry go round.

Thanks for the contribution Eddie Izzard but with better tits 😉

Our defence has been poor for fucking years, either in terms of personnel or organisation. Now we have England internationals at Right back and in goal. One of the most highly rated young centrebacks in the world and an ultra-relaible midtable Premier League left back and big Dan Burn too.   No longer are we fielding a Championship defence, hoping that hardwork and honesty will be enough to hold back the opposition. Our defence isn't just the last line anymore, it's the first step we take in attack too. If the window ends without an attack, the team is still far stronger than it was last season. 

 

For what it's worth I don't believe the window is over. 

 

Those players I mentioned are still good, and they'd still improve us, but I'm not pissing my sheets because we didn't sign Marcus Rashford, or that Darwin Nunez chose the title challenging Liverpool over us. Paqueta still might sign. 

 

You're just a spoiled brat.

That's the point, President Pissypants, there's a week to go. The club hasn't said "Our business is done", we're still seeing rumours for long term targets like Paqueta, short term targets like Joao Pedro and brand new targets like this Terrier.
