Thread | Premier League Club Transfer Window Rankings

5th (highest) - Ipswich Town
A smidgen over £100million spent on a range of alluring additions, mostly in the ‘Too good for the Championship but we’re not sure if they can crack the Premier League’ range. Which is exactly what being a new top-flight club dictates you do.
One would imagine at least two or three from Sammie Szmodics, Omari Hutchinson, Ben Johnson, Liam Delap, Jack Clarke and Dara O’Shea will thrive in the months ahead, while signing Chiedozie Ogbene from Luton Town after their relegation from the Premier League looks smart.
Installing Arijanet Muric from Burnley, another of last season’s relegated sides, as their No 1 ‘keeper might prove a misstep but, otherwise, Ipswich’s business looks pretty good on paper.
Describe it in one word: Fruity
4th - Brighton
3rd - Fulham
2nd - West Ham
1st - Man Utd |

Curious to know what clauses the Broja obligation includes outside of staying up? Eg. Appearance levels / Goal totals.
£30m could be a great price in 12 months, but it’s also not inconceivable that he’s third choice, given Delap’s ability to stretch with pace and how in-tune Hirst is to McKenna’s tactics.
I’m curious in all of these transfers as to what level of risk we’ve had to accept to get such eye-catching deals done. At least 15 starts? Or at least 5 goals? |

Jamie Carragher said that we'll do well because the Club / fans won't panic and the atmosphere will stay if we lose 5 in a row.
I'm genuinely interested in it as a HYPOTHETICAL question to pose, as I'm honestly not sure there's even a realistic possibility of this happening...
Would the Club / fans ever turn on McKenna if the worst kept happening?! How many games in a row would we have to lose for you to be calling for change? |

with a couple of additions,” he said. “But we had a style, a freshness, an energy - young talent and hungry players who hadn’t quite made it elsewhere.”

Thread | Troy Deeney

If we ignore the BBC’s tremendous track record of using taxpayer money to pay the salaries of all kinds of charlatans and criminals, why do the BBC employ him? He’s often on TV and now doing the regular Team of the Week slot.
1. He’s a thug - 10 month prison sentence for battering students outside a nightclub.
2. He’s a dunce - 0 questions right on Mastermind in his own Specialist Subject round!
3. He can’t pick a team to save his life - sacked after 6 games, 0 wins, 1 disgusting abuse of his own player, and a 4 match ban to boot.
Now I don’t expect the BBC to do something quite so revolutionary as giving an opportunity to a budding journalist, but out of all the ex-pros, why does he appeal to the BBC or its audience?! |

Kieran McKenna, what a guy. He clearly knew about this and decided to go with Big Kieffer instead back in January. Shame on you, Stoke City!
