Chelsea easily did the best this summer. Arsenal simply replaced what left, minus a defender, and got Sanchez who is great but not what we needed. United got some star players but in positions I would argue they didn't really need with the exception of the left backs. Chelsea did so well with Costa and Fabregas.

For once we have done well. Worked out what we needed early, and got it all done with no fuss. Even The Remy deal was quick. I think the balance is very good now compared to the last few years. You seem to be in the same situation again, where you know what type of players you need, but they don't seem to be coming, yet anyway. Same with United. It's lovely to have all these attacking options, but as we found out ourselves, there's more to a team, as I'm sure you all know.

Yes l remember us doing last day deals and as we all know we broke the bank to get the over-rated Andy Carroll and what a flop he was.

I try not to remember that day Den. We blew around £75 million on a forward who stopped scoring and a defender who forgot how to defend most of the time.

Overall l am pretty happy with our transfer business as well apart from replacing one certain player with another.

Insane offer for an injured player

Here

Quote:

Ronald Koeman is in the market for a winger and Saints have been linked with Townsend for several weeks. If they can get $26 million plus an England international winger for a player who is currently injured and has had one breakout season in the PL, maybe that is good business for Saints.

Happy with that.

£16 million for Welbeck I'm sure United will be happy with that

**Damien** · 01-09-2014, 21:57

I think everyone will be happy with this deal. Arsenal get a striker who has played in the PL. United get £16 million, Welbeck gets more football, England get Welbeck to get more football.

thenry · 01-09-2014, 22:01

whatever. better than nothing I guess. I'm not sure if i should hold hope that they will get a DM/CB in the final hours. totally pathetic!

Yes we really need a CB but I am happy with Welbeck. I think he is exactly what we need short of a world class striker.

Pleased that it's a permanent deal as well. I hate loan deals unless you really don't wish to retain that player or you have a ironclad option to buy clause. Good for temporary cover, not so good for players you actually need longer term.

very disappointing window for us no idea where goals will come from
