Brunners 7,982 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 After our summer I was very happy with our business - I understand CTs points about quantity over quality and what not but at the end of the day I think we improved everywhere we needed too except AM. But this deadline day (assuming it is over) has been a *** show. Replace adomah with a 20 year old project that COULD be a world beater or could flop and let reach go too so we're even weaker on the wings. Stuani is our bloody starting RW now. Bloody hell.

chimpy07 20 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Seriously think we've become a weaker squad than we were yesterday. Because we lost Adomah? And reach, and only replaced him with a project 20yrold.... yeah Even if Reach hadn't been sold, let's face it. He'd have barely got a game and would have jus been sold in Jan anyway. Still a handy squad player to have around if Ramirez picks up an injury and downing needed to play a central role though Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hey, if Traore can do for us what he did against Sunderland last season a few times, I am more than happy because that run and cross was sensational. Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Might browse the west brom match day thread to see what was said about our midfield 3 which is now our starting midfield 3 until January Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,968 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Think Villa fans will be majorly ***ed off when Traore turns out to be an excellent player under Karanka. The lad definitely has something special. Link to post Share on other sites

Still a handy squad player to have around if Ramirez picks up an injury and downing needed to play a central role though Ramirez gets injured, Downing goes centre, Fischer/Traore/de Pena goes left. Stuani plays right. Might actually get a bit of directness in the side. Link to post Share on other sites
Rich 0 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Maybe the club they have been trying to buy, but the clubs our targets are currently play for haven't been willing to sell? I assume Everton needed cover for Deulofeu before they could consider selling him, and I imagine other targets would be similar. Which wingers could Boro have bought in, that would have been better than what we have, and which are no longer wanted at their current club? Moses perhaps, anyone else? Saying that, I am very confused why we'd sell Reach without getting a replacement in. Injuries could be devastating, and it's not like we've been very lucky in that regard in the first few weeks of the season. Edit: or better that what we had! Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Well, a good season ahead, though a bit thin offensively. Might lack a spark going forward. Still, good start, let's hope we can maintain it. We've learnt a lot about ITK posters too. I've always been very open to the premise of rumours and what they're worth. But a lot of bravado this window. A lot made up and a lot of twitter 'sources' and mates 'who know somebody', made out to be a lot more then they are. Only Lurker has proved himself to be worth listening to, theinsider also. Every other ITK poster, honestly, full of it. Link to post Share on other sites
