No dressing this up as anything other than a woeful transfer window. Now I’m wondering if we have been instructed that we’ve lost 18million of our budget to cover JKA debacle.
Credit where it’s due Vile have reinvested the Grealish 100 million very wisely indeed, if Danny Ings hamstrings hold together that could be one of the signings of the seasons.
Praying for a fewRaphinia type recruits but whoever we get once again they have missed pre season with Bielsa and will be on catch up for 8-9 games……. not good!

Very wisely on a guy with a worse injury record than Llorente?
They have bought yes but well only time will tell.

Llorente out for the first quarter of the season apparently. Money well spent.

We were told the JKA money wouldn't impact transfer budget but who knows.

Alf what and who is your ( accurate ) source on LLorente being out for the first quarter of the season : I heard it was a minor issue to keep him out for 2 to 3 weeks.

Max 3 weeks on Llorente. No point rushing him back either, as we have the cover. I fully expect Cresswell to be in the mix this season too.

Certainly hope so Bright.

Me too Alf. He has the potential to be huge for us, from everything I’ve watched from him!

Indeed. Could make the difference for us this year.
