Rafa tonight

Yeah, thanks for that summary, sounds very interesting.

Regarding the market, it's insane that there aren't more regulations as to what clubs can do in terms of signing players. Nonetheless, with the market such as it is, I still believe that we will get our turn and end up signing some good players for more reasonable money than what we're seeing at the moment (50 mil for Sigurdsson???)

Aye but what about £50 million for Walker a right back who had lost his first team place at Spurs.

after a slow start, I think we've done ok in the window.

you don't need to sign well known superstars to sign good players, the likes of Watford and Southampton prove that every year.

Rafa wants a keeper, a striker and a couple more squad players.

I'm looking forward to the new season, and I will not be judging us on a game against spurs.

time to do as Rafa asks and get behind the lads!

And Walker has gone to a club who have bought two other full backs in this window, taking their spending on full backs to £120m in this window. Guardiola is a genius - I don't think any other manager in the world would have thought of buying 3 full backs at an average of £40m each. It's gonna be some system they all play in! I'm being facetious of course - they could actually do with another LB in my opinion.

Crazy window.

Did he lose his place? Didn't know that. But I'm sure you're right as Spurs don't seem intent on bringning a new player in.

But yeah they're both crazy signings in terms of amount paid. And as we can't pay that for a player, we have to wait until the market slows down which I'm certain it will a few weeks up until it closes. Then we might be able to sign some 'established' players.

Yes Walker lost his place to Kieran Trippier,Spurs did well to get £50 million for their second best right back.
