Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[Niall_Quinn]

The revisionism over Jesus goes on, the reality is that he was a genuine shot in the arm when he joined and the great start we had to the season two years ago was down to him as much as anyone.

Take away that World Cup injury he then had and I think he'd have continued to contribute more

Willian was indeed trash however, also Zin ofc, Sterlimg not great hut showed signs of promise in his last appearance, still it was a very latr appeasement signing rather than a real attempt to beef up our attack IMO

I meant buying offcasts. If they aren't good enough to remain and thrive at their previous clubs then why are they good enough to come here? It's not like Rice is it? Where we had to tear him away with a giant cash offer. It's like shopping in the cast-offs bin, there's a reason that stuff is in the bin. Good enough for the pub, but don't be having fancy ideas about dining at the top table with clobber like that. There was a time when rivals would come after us for our talent. Rashford gets us a reservation at Wetherspons, at best.

Can't believe Napoli is willing to sell Kvara for a reasonable amount and as usual we happen to plead "poverty".

When will we ever get the kind of owners we deserve, this punishment has lasted for way too long

[HCZ_Reborn]

Kind of owners we deserve compared to who. FSG who own Liverpool have been no more generous than KSE, so ultimately it comes down to the ownership of Man United and Chelsea the only clubs who in the last five years have spent more money than us Net.
Neither exactly paragons of good ownership (well maybe Chelsea are to you)
I don’t especially like the Kroenkes but I don’t think I really can question the money they’ve put into the club for transfers over the past five years, maybe subconsciously you’re supporting Arteta by moving the blame away from him?

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Kvara, Osimhen, Lookman, Gyokeres or Mbuemo.....any of these 5 could save our season.... just get the chequebook out and damn what may!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Gyokeres - Is that the guy from Sporting.

We'd win the league with him, except he'd get injured in the first match.

Sure I get the point and in general we should focus on players whose best years aren't behind them, another reason why Merion wasn't a great buy

[HCZ_Reborn]

A loan move for Dusan Vlaohovic being touted about

I’m not sure Juventus would go for this unless it’s a loan with an obligation to buy

He would definitely give us aerial presence, which I suppose would be the point as opposed to changing our style of play.

[Marc Overmars]

Beggars can’t be choosers, get him in.

[Mac76]

Right now I'd be happy if we got Steve Claridge out of retirement, the guy knows where the goal is even if he's like 50-something

[Marc Overmars]

It is confirmed that Jesus has done his ACL. So I guess we are stuck with him for another year at least.

This season.

It is incredible how we’ve gone from a robust squad with minimal injury set backs to the state we’re in now.
