Summer Transfer Window Thread 2016

[Moses Julep]

This feels like it's the day before prom and the only dateless girl is this ugly duckling and she is being fought over by these two dudes.

Except one of these two dudes is my club.

[Lineker]

Bah.

[Just Joe]

Well, that window was utter shit for us. LOL Sunderland, 1 senior keeper. M'Vila posting on his Instagram that his heart has been broken by not getting the move. Defoe our only goal scoring option. At least we kept Kone I guess. 

[TCO]

30 million 

Charnley has played a Levy, who himself has played a Charnley. We're through the looking glass here people.

2 minutes ago, Lineker said:

Bah.

Is he our record transfer fee now?

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Spurs paid slightly over £30m for Lamela didn't they? Think it's still him. Unless I'm forgetting someone else.

[Just Joe]

[Twist]

I mean, dude once said Arsenal is the 'club of his heart'. So, yeah, that love affair is going to get messy now when the reports in the French media continue to declare his love for Arsenal.

[Just Joe]

Harry Kane supports Arsenal, that's done wonders for them so far.

[Lineker]

Yeah, support in football isn't a thing. Unless you happen to be lucky enough to play for that said club at some point.

[TCO]

Sissoko is also full of shit and would've signed for anybody who were stupid enough to pay the asking price.

[Gazz]

Sissoko had more boyhood clubs than Robbie Keane. 

[TCO]

Just to put the Keane thing straight. It's pretty common here to support both an English club and Celtic, due to their republican and catholic links. The Liverpool and Celtic combo is particularly popular, they both have club shops in Dublin. It's Keano's night, leave him alone!!  

[King Ellis]

Sorry I'm late...

THE TRANSFER WINDOW IS CLOSED

[Lineker]

Jesus wept.

[HailtotheYo]

Just when you thought Arsenal were going to be the shit end of things again .... Totty to the rescue!

[TCO]

He said he going to give everything but forgot to mention it's only when he's in the mood, against Chelsea and/or when he's on TV. 

[Adam]

Can I just say...Spurs totally Spursed this transfer window right at the last minute.

That said, Everton have had a shit window. All this money alleged and they end up spending none of it, instead got a few decent players with the Stones money. Valencia is better than nothing, but still needed a defender and a keeper, so not great. It would've been worse if we'd blown £30 million on Sissoko though, definitely.

[TMM]

Right then. Sissoko. I don't mind him as an extra body. That's fine. With a bundle of back-up midfielders going (Chadli being the one I'm a little sad about) it felt that an injury or two left our bench looking short and with three cups, league etc, I was happy to get one more.

Y'know, even ok that it's Sissoko as a backup (cos he's not better than Lamela, Eriksen, Alli, Dembele or Dier for a start). However £30mil upsets me.
