In:
N’dombele - replacing Dembele (18 months late)
Lo Celso - replacing Eriksen (if he doesn’t sign new contract)
Sessegnon - future replacement of Rose (contract expires next summer)

Out:
Trippier - no replacement

Still in limbo with contracts expiring within 12 months:
Toby
Eriksen
Rose
Vertonghen (only One giving signals he might stay and extend contract).

I have a hard time seeing this as a positive window where we come out clearly strengthened.

Dybala/Coutinho in: we would all have been running around screaming in joy. It would’ve shown intent, that we truly are ready to take that next step up to be a truly “Big Club”. It would’ve given the manager, coaches, staff, players and not at least the fans a renewed belief we can push for greater things. Now: I don’t know... it’s just going to be more of the same? Our golden generation of players over the last 4-5 years are getting older and there are no signs that we are going to push for that extra yard. Except for the CL final (and it’s a big exemption!), all stats and indicators are pointing down.

Please! Someone! Help me find the positives!!

I can’t believe I fall for the same trick. Every. Single. Friggin’. Window.
For the first time in a while we have the potential to play an elite CM2, undisrupted by continuous injuries, in Lo Celso and Ndombele.

So th 4231 we’ve had so much success with is an option now we don’t have to pack Winks, Sissoko, and Eriksen in to cover each other’s weaknesses.

It could be back on in an hour, never know. Personally I'm just waiting till 5pm to see what happens - appreciate the ITK though.

Gents, please can we try and not post our summaries of the window in here. It's not the place.

One thing to mention. The Agresti info sounded like we walked away. Maybe high stakes poker with the image rights?

I assume everyone has had enough and Juve will try their luck with Inter, but surely giving him to a strong rival is a worse move?

If we've invested a lot of time in this and there is a smidgen of a chance you'd think we'd still be trying?!

Secondly, yes emoji-reading can be a bit pointless, but Gards emoji seemed to indicate 'another problem/frustration' rather than a 'it's over/gloomy' emoji and he's not followed it up either to confirm it's truly dead.

Can't see why he would go to Inter, especially with Lukaku coming. And they have FFP problems.

Mandzukic to United is apparently a no go - fingers crossed that, that will mean Dybala is once again available!
