Happy Deadline Transfer Window Shut Day

Looks like Schmidt will complete the business doesn’t it.

We definitely have less star quality than last season which is to be expected as that’s the cost of being in the Championship.

We arguably have better balance but can’t see why we weren’t able to make one statement signing to get as close to possible to the level of one of the stars we have lost.

A lot rests on the scouting department here. At the end of the day we want to be able to do what Brighton have been. Let’s hope we are.

It’s definitely easier to go up this season than last, look at Luton. But the pressure is on. This could be our last chance for a while if we don’t get it right.

So £30 million spent on squad strengthening since raking in about £140 million this summer.... mmm I reckon a certain white bearded individual in a tax haven is mightily impressed with those figures.

The party line will be, Aaronson and Wober were like two new signings, we rebuffed offers for Ampadu and Gnonto, we had to sell Archie, Cree and Georgi as our hands were tied. We’ve spent virtually more than any other championship clubs, got Rodon back and have filled gaps where we felt we needed them Blah blah blah….

Which is all arguably true.

The problem with their argument is that none of it matters.

What matters is promotion.

If we go up then they got it right. If we don’t then they’ve f***ed it

Talks of Newcastle coming in at last hour for Gnonto £40m

posted on 30/8/24

I am expecting a phoney9ers messages at 11.01pm. They said they would talk after the deadline.
So lets hear what they have to say

Farke said he wanted 4 more players - 2 attackers, a midfielder and a defender. That's what he has got.

Over to him now…

Agree Faith, if they get it right amazing but if they fook it up, it will be toxic central

My thoughts have more than been covered above by others and feel we are a player or two short taking into account who we have lost too

It is over to Farke and the team now to get this done after missing a golden opportunity last year. No excuses.

If that happens there will be total uproar at Elland Road tomorrow and the devastatingly bad vibes this could create will impact on the team's performance against a significantly strengthened Hull side we face in 16 hours.

There has to be pressure on Farke to improve our cohesion in attack too. Was pretty poor all last season but the signs have been there that we have been working on it in preseason and it looked much better. Has to be able to do that again with the new signings.

This squad can and should get promoted, Farke needs to improve on wat he did last season to make it a certainty.

Cannot see that happening. No way they’ve watched him and thought he’s worth £40m.

Would genuinely be very hard to turn down cos that’s so much money for what he’s actually done.

Sounds like nonsense to me

If that’s the end of it at least we kept Gnonto.

If we are struggling come Christmas 49ers have to revalue some of their targets and pay 30% more.

This Gnonto Newcastle rumour may explain us linked late in the day to some Portuguese winger I've never heard of for about £5 million....Let's hope this is all just mischievous click bait reporting.

No one was going to offer £40m for him. No one did.

He needs to perform at his best a lot more often this season and then we will see. But not a chance anyone was coming with £40m now.

Don't forget deals can still be announced until at least 1 am as long as official intention/deal sheet or whatever bs paperwork is needed by 11 pm.

New signing Schmidt just interviewed on Sky sports news, speaks good English and seems to relish the opportunity in front of him. Let's hope he's as good as our last Swiss defender.
