It's the weirdest thing isn't it?

Why did mahrez fly back to the UK? To stay where he is?

I think he's been on a massive windup on deadline day.

I  am hoping we get both drinkwater and mahrez...

but hey isnt it crazy to buy DW for 35 m when we sold Matic for 40 m to a title rival??

How true is this comment. I do have a sneaky feeling that if we get Drinkwater he could be good for us, but when you look at your comment it does make stark reading,

DW is a good squad addition. But it we've missed out on too many others for my likeling most notably Llorente who should have been a done deal ages ago.

I just wish we were in for Mahrez cause at least it would be exciting and show we're not f**king about.

If all we get is drinkwater then it has been a poor end to the window and the matic sale looks even more stupid.

I fear for Conte the most.
Such a talented manager being let down by an incompetent board, wouldn't be surprised if he left. 

Looking at spurs late business it's confirmed what I said all along and by some got criticised for: marina.....is........w**k.

What's crazier is that you apparently think his initials are DW. So his first name is Drink and his surname is Water?

We have been truly embarrassed by the rest, we have the poorest squad from last season top 6 barring arsenal.

 

If Arsenal pull off a few gems need will be totally left with our pants down.

 

 

Sky have done their best to make this out to be one of the most exciting transfer windows ever.. in reality it's been sh*te.

Spurs? Liverpool? Both teams don't exactly scream squad depth.

to put in perspective spurs got a rwb, a cm, and a st, for the same price we will end up paying for drinkwater( if it even goes through), when all 3 would have done for us.

Any other top team would have backed a manager better when he won you EPL after a dismal previous season..

But one humble request to board from a fan- Please dont sack Conte when we go out of some competitions or lose some matches in the league...

And I hope he wont walk away as he has signed a 3 year deal and due to the financial implications of walking away...

I've just been saying this. I actually feel annoyed at myself for falling into the hype. A lot of the supposed big moves that would have made it exciting just didn't happen. I do feel that other transfers not materialising effected other transfers. There would have been a dominoe effect of a few had gone  through.

I didnt think so..

I was shortening his surname...

Didnt realise it was not allowed.. 

Spurs? Liverpool? Both teams don't exactly scream squad depth.

They have far better squad depth and willing to give young players the chance we on the other hand have no faith in our young players

 Just kidding. Shorten any way you want.

The Matic sale was the worst piece od business done this summer. I don't think it can look stupider because any CM we get at this point would cost roughly the same price

If that's how the club are going to back another manager after winning the leauge and at least not make a statement addressing the fans, I think we have been sorely let down.

 Arsenal fan tv is hilarious but I wonder how we would be after 10 years of fuxk all because for now it seems we feel let down just after a few underwhelming windows, and after winning 2 leagues out of the last three.

I feel most for conte he deserves better and inevitably we will lose him if this continues 

One cant  have any issues with board re OX as it was his own stupid (imo) choice to join Pools..

But I cant understand why they f***d up Llorente deal..

It was only less than 15 million for a striker who scored 15 goals last season for a struggling side... And I am sure if we matched Spurs bid Llorente would have most probably chosen Conte over Poch..

Really who do Liverpool have as defensive cover/ goalkeeper cover.

Tottenham's midfield/ AM depth is Winks and Sissoko. As someone who watched the majority of Swansea's games last season Batsuayi, Abraham and probably even Remy are better strikers than Llorente so really not exciting depth there either. 

 

Chelsea keeping third player target, other than Drinkwater and Zappacosta, close to their chests. [@Matt_Law_DT]

 

Could be a late twist!
