Everton, 8 / 10
Bemused by the Iwobi signing but otherwise I think we have bought well.

Arsenal 7/10
Tierney, Pepe, Ceballos all seem decent, Saliba and Martinez for the longer term
Ecstatic to get close to 40m for Iwobi, thx Everton
shame to see Nketiah go out on loan to Leeds, hoped wed see some of him in the first team this year
The downside is we havent addressed our biggest need at centre half (even if Luiz comes), Kos gone as has Bielik (liked to have seen him ahead of many of the incumbents)
Havent reduced the pressure on the wage bill enough with Ozil, Mhiki, Mustafi etc still there but not really in our first choice side

8/10 personally due to no DCM signed to back up rice but otherwise agree

8/10 for Spurs. Ndombele was crucial as we sorely missed Dembele last season, he is a hard man to replace but we may well have done that. Lo Celso gives us another option and more depth in attack. Sessegnon seems to be highly rated, and can also play left wing if need be.
Would have been a 9/10 but we've left ourselves short of a good right back unfortunately. And on top of that getting Dybala over the line would have made it 10/10.
Overall pretty happy though. Not lost any major players bar Trips either which is good after all the talk of Toby, Eriksen & Rose leaving.

9.5/10
Getting rid of Moreno,mignolet and Sturridge will stop me having the what if Alisson/Robbo/Bobby gets injured nightmares.
Would've been 10/10 had Lovren left

I’ll go with 8.5 /10
Kept all the world class players , others leaving allows the young players to break through
Would have been nice have picked up someone up play in the front three

Can still offload Mustafi to a European team. Another 3 weeks to go. #nevergiveuphope.

9.5/10 for my lot. We sold two of our best players Sammie Szmodics to Bristol City and Frankie Kent to Peterborough and got a few in. Got £360k for Kent but Szmodics went on a free, with an undisclosed development fee for him as he's under 24. Would probably have been 10/10 if we'd kept one of them but at our level that's the business model we're working with. Last year we had 15/16 of our first team squad that had come through our academy and we need to be selling one or two of them each year to make the club sustainable. It would be nice if we didn't need to be a selling club or host the music tribute/comedy nights at the club to break even but I'm happy to accept that at our level we need to bring through the young players and sell some of them on to higher level clubs. Being situated mid way between bigger clubs like Ipswich, West Ham and other north London clubs means our support base is restricted. Would be nice to get 6k or 7k into the stadium each week and reduce our need to sell players but for now got to be happy with where we are and hope that at some point we'll make that next step without bankrupting the club.

I'm almost glad that we didn't get Dybala - seemed too many issues (eg, the image rights), something just didn't seem right about the deal.
As far as RB is concerned, I think we're pretty much covered - I have a lot of faith in KWP and then we have Aurier who seemed to improve before getting injured. There is also Foyth who as we know is out injured now, but at least we have cover.
What I am somewhat anxious about is the fact that other countries' windows are still open which could mean Eriksen or Toby going in the next week or so.

I don't think they're up for it to be honest. But even if he does go we've already brought in GLC so no biggie.
Aurier is absolute pony. I think Foyth may be 1st choice RB when he returns to fitness. Not ideal but he still has some potential I think - much prefer him at RB to CB! KWP could come good but still pretty raw. He's definitely going to start on Saturday so we'll see how he does.

8.5 for me overall
8 out of 10 for quality and an extra .5 for lowering the average age this window again
Next summer window I want a box to box (not DM) midfielder, I would like us to spend the majority of our budget on that and a new LB. don’t want a cheap stop gap now.
Think we will score (and concede) a lot of goals so hopefully an exciting season. (If var doesn’t kill it obviously)

MP clearly sees something in Arthur and I agree. From the start of his career his pace has always impressed me. Plus his ability on the ball. Modern full backs attack first defend second .. him and Fredericks are perfect for us
Young LB to replace cresswell as back up would do me just fine
It’s a shame Wilshere won’t stay fit because he would be that box to box midfielder

So what’s the Toon lads verdict on re-signing Andy Carol? I’m guessing there was no medical involved and he would have signed on a pay-as-you-play deal?
Personally I hope he does well and has a decent run of games, I always liked him and it wasn’t his fault he was a walking wreck!
He will always be welcomed at the London stadium and if he does turn up - as an injured spectator - it will be just like old times...ðŸ˜

Yes I agree with most of that, Wilsheres tacking is hopeless though. A real liability, Cresswell worries me most though, he was terrible last year and looked very suspect pre season.
