Balogun and Jack all done, some great business along with the others already here. Tete is another that will be confirmed today, which I think again is a good player. You never know, there could be one or two other surprise.
We also got rid of Beto and Tim for good money. I know people think we gave Ndiaye away cheaply but me personally I think we got very good money for him. With his stats he's not worth 80m to anyone else but he is to us.
If he'd have played in Europe, then he would be, but he hasn't.
Overall I think this maybe one our best windows for a very long time. There should be no doubting the club's ambition or ability of trying to improve the squad.
No doubt I'll get pelters but to be honest I don't care. I think this has been sensible trading and I'm confident we're much better off than we were before the summer.

Agree 100%, mate, really pleased so far.

Yeah 65m isn't trousers down, but maybe it's 10 shy from a harder negotiations, but that'd been on deadline hour and left no time to spend. Loved him and won't turn coat on him like a gew did yesterday, but take out the penalties and he really didn't score any more than Mcnie.
He'd have a load more assists though if only we'd had a decent 9l.

The price for Ili could have impacted the negotiations for Jack positively. So maybe the £65m has more value than we will know. I'm just glad he's at City and not Spurs.
That was sticking in my throat tbh. There's just over 14 hours left of the window, so anything can happen. So I'll keep my judgement on the success of this window under wraps until then.

He only had a year left on his contract, 3 offers for a new one refused, glad he's going. Nice to see Jack come back, also good to see parts and Tim off. I think just having players for the sake of it doesn't make us better, these players weren't good enough, let's hope we get more in, but loans are there as well to fill the squad.
