Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[Marc Overmars]

I think this regime has proven they simply aren’t going to move on players unless it’s on their terms.

Starting next season with only Havertz would be one of the dumbest things ever seen. So I suspect we’ll get something major done in the summer.

They're waiting for the pay day when players leave in the summer. Then they'd drip a few quid out. Won't be 120mill on an Isak, AND 70 on a Sesko AND 50 or 60 on a Zubi. Pick the cheapest and that's what'll happen.

Is Arteta sitting down with Havertz right now and saying, "It's all up to you now!"

Kronke's have put up on page on CrowdFunder. Bit late in the day but please give generously if you can, preferably within the next 2 hours and 13 minutes.

Aston Villa have agreed a deal with Chelsea to sign Axel Disasi on loan.

Villa will pay a loan fee of about £5m and pay his wages.

Short of a last-minute miracle this has been a really embarrassing window, it's scandalous we thought we didn't need an extra attacker, even before the Jesus injury

Calm down. Right before the season tickets go on sale the club will be announcing summer deals for Isak and Zubimendi. And you did get not one, but TWO merch drops from the club during this transfer window. All is well.

Mathys Tel would have preferred us over Spurs, but we just stood back and watched it happen. This could be one to regret for us.

What's additionally annoying is we haven't even sold Zin, that would at least have been something to celebrate

We might need him. Evidently there's some huge assumption at the club we won't get any more injuries. But, however far-fetched, what if we do?

[Niall_Quinn]

Those that know (the guys on the telly) have concluded we haven't panicked this window because we are a big club with a big club mentality.

Coincidentally, we also have no striker.

Also it's extremely difficult to do business in the January window, though probably not as difficult as building a real time web site to track all those moves and loans that aren't happening - just today!
