Can't be very soft given they just spent reported £8m... This whole fair play thing is a farce too many loop holes still and isn't holding the PL clubs back one bit Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 16 million on a pair of strikers and signed a former Napoli GK yesterday under a 'soft' embargo plus Lucas Boye fees. Their midfield looks absolutely garbage to my eyes though not sure these strikers necessarily will get them anywhere close... Link to post Share on other sites

To the poster it does yes and within the context of our situation, it's probably a decent window to get a few in and keep our better players. The reality is, we aren't going to be buying proven players for a long while. So under our new reality, I wouldn't say tremendous but if we get in a few attacking midfielders then it's been a decent window 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I mean we paid £2.5m for Johnson and £2m for Dijksteel. If Dijksteel turns out rubbish, there isn’t exactly much difference and £2m will look like a massive overpayment...
