don't worry united fans, you signed a RW

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “Our scouts have followed Facundo for a long time and we believe that he will be a real talent for the long term.

******* depressing man. we need to strengthen the defense, but instead we buy all attacking players. we let in 6 ******* goals against tottenham and they bring in 2 young wingers and cavani. the club doesn't have a ******* clue, they really don't care.

 

[アミーゴ]

Atleti upset over nothing - completely on themselves

 

[vtotheinay]

No way poch takes this job anymore. Club is in way too much shambles. If I'm him I wait to see what happens with Tuchel at PSG and Pep at City

It cannot be over stated just how poorly Manchester United are run as a football club.

There isn't a single person in a leadership role equipped to get the franchise back to the top.

 

[flyeed]

How often do you see a window where Real don’t buy a single player? Hopefully they can compete with the clubs that operate on blood money in the next transfer window.

My wishlist is Mbappe Camavinga and Haaaland. I wouldn’t be super mad if PSG player hardball with Mbappe and we waited one more year to get him free though. As much as I want Haaland I can see him going elsewhere. I think if Messi leaves La Liga next summer a lot of the appeal is gone unless you’re just the type of player that specifically dreams of playing in Spain. Between the money and the hype especially if Messi heads north, the prem is where it’ll undoubtedly be at.

And homeboy had the nerve to **** on dembele
Dembele never wanted to go to united anyways ...even tried to get pogba to lie to him

 

[Coupé It]

I guarantee you we start seeing “Sancho to United in 2021” rumors by next week......

Woody is definitely going to put the rumors out there to chill the fan base down.

Arsenal got a great player in Partey

Wish united got him

sancho realizing the mess he avoided by staying at dortmund

not sure how arsenal were the only club in for partey
makes no sense to me

Thank god the Barça board weren’t able to sign Depay and get rid of Dembele in the process......even tho they wanted to

 

[cs02132]

Partey

shame cavani went to man u. That’s my guy. Now he’s on da opps

My best fifa striker ever, 71 goals in 1 season. Arsenal legend

Man we had house cleaning to do, the roster was ridiculously bloated, still has some guys who need to moved. Realistically, RM & Barca can't be at the top forever, coming off historic runs, it's natural to have a down period. And RM will be fine this season domestically.

Partey is the best move of the day, exactly what Arsenal needed at that position.
Cheisa to Juve was another great move, Juve did all the creative things to bring in the talent they needed, still need an upgrade over Danilo

Other than the Telles move I don't get what United did. I'm sure those wingers will be fine for the future but you still have an intention of signing Sancho?? All the washed CBs are still there, Juan Mata still there, Matic, Fred, McTomMcToml

Pogba really has wasted some prime years at United smh

Ndombele has stepped his game up and looks like the player that Spurs broke transfer record for.

 

[fluid hips]

I don't see cavani being another falcao.

Him and Martial up top will be a deadly duo

 

[mastamind89]

Everton, Rennes, Villarreal had good transfer windows.

Ok final tallies. I think this is almost perfect, but I'm sure it's missing some of the last minute loan outs and sales of lesser known players. Let me know and I'll edit the post if you guys want it updated.

If I had to pick a top 3 in no particular order, I'd say Spurs, Bayern and Pool had the best windows in terms of filling weaknesses in the squad, adding gamechangers and improving depth. Honorable mention Arsenal because of Partey in the 11th hour and Gabriel looks like a hell of a deal already. Biggest loser is, without question, manchester united.

Arsenal has Douzi out on loan to Hertha.

not sure how arsenal were the only club in for partey
makes no sense to me

Its mind bottling. 50M for a world class CM that's in his prime... I'd slot this move in the tier below Ozil and Auba's signings. Necessary, almost unbelievable deal that'll pay dividends for years to come and make us actual contenders again.

If Laca can afford to stay above the midfield line and not have to track back to the defensive third to get the ball?? Game changing.

ya’ll gunna carry the curse of Gunnersaurus with you for 100 years

dude will be fossilized by your next major title

African players are usually undervalued

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

Inter made off pretty good too.
I wish Arsenal had jacked a defender from Atleti while they were at it.
