He's nailed on getting a red card tomorrow, minimum 3 game ban and will push the 4th official when when leaving the pitch.What are the odds on Romero NOT getting a red card or accumulating yellows for a ban?

Two of which are being used as transfers in this window to justify lack of signings nowBentancur and Kulusevski say hi, so does Pedro Porro.
First of all let’s get this straight there are still areas of our squad that still need addressing. These areas are reasonably clear to us all.
if we spin back to the end of last season our club/squad was in disarray. Uncertainty about ownership, no manager, no real back room staff or off the field leadership, no first team keeper, no captain, the need for new cb’s, a midfield in need of regeneration, a lack of creativity and our main source of goals and talisman probably on the way out.
The ship hasn’t always been steady and things may not have been handled as perfectly as we may wish but we have addressed a lot of the concerns above.
Rome wasn’t built in a day is a phrase we feel we have all heard before and get slightly tired of hearing but the last thing we want to do is panic buy players of mediocrity which are then hard to shift further down the line. HG players is a concern but there little point buying squad players to fulfil spots. Gallagher would have been a good buy but in an area which isn’t the greatest concern. The other names listed in the last few weeks would have done little to improve us in the short to medium term and then caused further problems 2-3 seasons down the line.
Clearing the decks has been the biggest issue and remains the case. Hopefully Lloris will get his move. That however leaves lots of other players at our club on inflated wages which will price out the majority of other clubs. Those with the financial clout won’t be shopping for our players on a down swing when the world is their oyster.
I would rather write off their contracts to then help us move forward in the long term. We will be short on cover and yes Ange will have to get creative with the squad but a smaller fresher squad pulling in the right direction is of greater benefit that filling it with filler especially this season with no Europe and only one cup competition. Hopefully Ange may even trust some of the youth and promote from within.
im glad we aren’t doing much business on the last day. Remember we have played better in the last three games than we did in any three game period last year. At the moment we should be glass half full rather than be out seeking blood!
Bingo. It’s far from ideal, but it’s really all about Biss and Maddison. Those are the guys thy are truly irreplaceable. As long as they play, we can hide guys like Dav / PEH / eycDav can cover Romero if Biss/Maddison/Bents are in midfield.
I'm more worried about the left side of VDV goes down tbh.
I’m going to try and be less invested in the transfer forum from now on. I can feel it having an impact on my mental health. Might try and learn Spanish or something.
To be fair Boss, it was quite fun watching the actual football against United.That “midfield in need” was Bissouma and Sarr. We had them but Levy’s awful managerial appointments nullified them. Our star goal scorer on the way out has now gone and not been replaced. We’re still in need of CBs. We lost our DOF and somehow hired a director of football operations and lost him before he started. Our major investor is looking at doing time for insider trading (and there’s no way Levy stays clean in that). Ange is the only bright spot in all of that and in his own words he needed another CB and Levy’s left him short (and fuming by all accounts).

And Phillips. And Dier. And I don't say that as a jokeMy answer is, I hope that we don't have Cuti and VDV out at the same time. And if we do, Sanchez, Davies and then Dorrington and Phillips are options too. Dorrington is a huge talent, and would only improve with meaningful minutes.
Ben Davies would be fine tbh. Just ideally not for too long.
Don't mind people being told to wait til the end of the window, otherwise the threads get filled up with people freaking out and some pretty daft stuff, tbh.So all the people happy with Levy and telling us to wait until the window closed…. Still happy?
