Dennis Praet for less than 20m seems decent business for Leicester

A shame he never shows it.
“Don’t doubt a professional manager. They’re a manager and you aren’t.â€
By that logic, you admit Hodgson did the best he could at Liverpool and you wouldn’t question anything he did.
Unless you want to go against this Paul?

Well I think that’s been a good window.
Very surprised about Luiz and it’s not a player that Wenger would have gone anywhere near but for £8M you can’t really go wrong.
Personally I don’t like Luiz but he might win me over we have to wait and see. There’s obviously a lot of respect and friendship with Emery and Luiz so that does bode well for the future.
Shame about Iwobi if that deal happens but we got a fair price for him.
Excited by Pepe and happy too with Tierney and Martinelli.
Confident about top 4 if we can enjoy the same fortune as Liverpool last year.

A fair price for him? You bent them over and gave them a good rogering at that price.

Not really when you consider his age , I think he will do quite well at Everton. I would have preferred to have kept him a season or 2 longer still a youngster really.

Welcome back Sean 😆 fortune? Surely you need the top class players especially at the back 😉
And fair price for Iwobi ? Looks like you manage to Roger them silly for double his value maybe more 😆

Haha start of the season is upon us I believe.
Do you think the same about Chamberlain? He went for the same money. Was he double his value?

I thought we got a good deal on a clearly talented player who stagnated at Arsenal and is streets ahead in regards ability compared to Iwobi

Well that’s a matter of opinion I suppose.
So what’s your top 6 prediction this season?
I can’t believe that Liverpool will do quite as well as last year, it was reminiscent of Leicester in 2016 when the stars aligned for them. Still a fine team though Liverpool but will probably be at least 20 points worse off this year IMO. 😉
1 Man City
2 Spurs
3 Arsenal
4 Liverpool
5 Everton
6 Man Utd

Do you think Iwobi is better than Oxlade ?
I’m confused but how did the stars align for us ? It was all done on the pitch and in two comps - the best defence in the league prob Europe , one of the best front three in Europe as well and we suddenly drop below Arsenal ?
I believe the Top 2 will be in no particular order
City
Liverpool
Then Spurs
Then it’s between Utd and Chelsea for 4th
With Arsenal 6th
But the last three could go either way - lots of issues with all three teams and a big gap behind the other three

Not a great deal in it, if I had to pick one I would choose (a fit) Ox but I certainly wouldn’t say that Ox is streets ahead and their respective fees reflect that too.

big gap
Arsenal
Chelsea
United.

Their respective fees show that Oxlade had one year left on his contract I believe and wasn’t signing another one and Everton were that desperate to bring in a forward they would have happily paid a lot. I don’t know many who would pick Iwobi in their team over Ox

Liverpool were fortunate with injuries last year and I lost count of flukey and last minute winners.ðŸ‘

I might downgrade Spurs if they lose Eriksen, he’s a massive player for them.

😂😂😂 well at one stage we were down to one CB having three injured , we lost both our right backs and played a midfielder there , same with the left back , we lost one centre midfielder for the whole season , had one new signing out for half the season , another new signing picked up a number of injuries , faced the the last 4 weeks without one of the most important players we have but apart from that we were fortunate with injuries
And the game lasts 90mins plus injury - does the goal mean less because they are scored in the last minute ? Not sure about “flukey†though.

I agree they didn't suffer too many injuries, re the last minute winners. Does that mean Utd won multiple lucky titles as they scored plenty.
