Summer Transfer Window Thread

Because we will sign at least one player. 
On other matters Berahino signed on loan for.     [font="Open Sans", sans-serif]Sporting de Charleroi In France just a bit of  useless information.[/font]

One player is not enough. And we’ve dramatically smaller pool to fish in now. And let’s not forget Championship clubs will now hold all the power.

And this is exactly why today is such a massive disappointment. It's not about whether we expected other targets or whether we have another 2 weeks to sign these players. We've lost any negotiating power, if any other PL clubs need strikers then there's potential for bidding wars and if we fail on our main targets then we'll have to look at lower quality replacements from a limited selection of players.

Whoever we wanted to sign should have been in before today's deadline.

Two points
1 - we need at least a right back and a striker, and as i understand our options now are only EFL players . And even if we can source players of sufficient quality to fill our requirements, we will need to pay a transfer fee, something we don't seem capable of doing.

2 - What is going to happen in the next 11 days that makes deals possible, that haven't been possible so far.

Absolutely nothing. We've misjudged this massively

The whole transfer strategy has been shambolic.

We clearly have no money so which bright spark spent the little transfer kitty we have on Button and Kipre plus their wages and those of Peltier? We needed to focus on freebies and loans for the first team and the likes of O’Shea could deputise.
