Aug 2024 Transfer Window Deadline Day Thread
Comments

It’s refreshing Charlton completed the majority of their business early in the window. . Gone are the days late on deadline day scrambling around to get Josh Parker over the line.1

Sancho to Chelsea apparently agreed.
Sterling to Arsenal almost agreed.
Fulham have agreed to sign Ernest Nuamah (an attacker) from Lyon, which i guess will then allow Stansfield to go to Birmingham.0 -
Sancho to Chelsea is possibly one of the more bizarre moves. I know Mudryk has massively underperformed but Madueke is coming off a hat trick and an England senior callup4

We may be lacking a little bit of pedigree right now, but to my knowledge no team has yet won promotion in August or September.
We're a work in progress but we are a team unit ........ the foundations have been put in place by instilling a style of play, organisation and high standard of fitness, followed by the team defending from the front and creating chances directly from that.
I should imagine NJ is now thinking let's see where we are by Christmas?
He'll know exactly what needs reinforcing and fine tuning.

Left wing - Neto/Mudryk
Right wing - Madueke/Sancho
AM - Palmer/Felix
Striker - Jackson/Nkunku
They certainly have plenty of cover.2 -
Billy Gilmour has joined Scott McTominay in moving to Napoli0

Good point oggy Red! I think Nathan knows what we need now but couldn’t do anything about it. We are work in progress so we might have to accept it may take another season for promotion.2

I couldn’t sleep very well wondering what new signings I’d wake up to … fuck sake.0

It's odd that we have waited till now to deal with Fraser. Maybe another club have messed us about?
I was hoping we would bring 1 or 2 in today but it seems very unlikely now, and looking at a free agent job.
Overrall, a pretty decent window, but we could have done with the extra goalie and centre back at least. I'll give this window a 6.5/7 out of 10. I'd have given it a 9 if we kept May as well as the business we did.
Well done new owners, an usually sensible window, considering its Charlton.7 -
These deals are often done like this, just in case someone comes in to offer a small fee or to take him on loan. Ladapo at Ipswich has just happened, Thierry Small at Southampton in January etc.Braziliance said:It's odd that we have waited till now to deal with Fraser. Maybe another club have messed us about?

A fully fit Chuks; "it's free real estate!"0 -
6.5/10 seems harsh considering we’ve won 3/3 with Berry, Doherty, Adahme, Edwards, Mannion all starting. That’s almost half the side.19

And we didn't need as many this summer as we had such a busy January with Coventry, REG, Small, Ramsay and Gillesphey all joining permanently.ValleyGary said:6.5/10 seems harsh considering we’ve won 3/3 with Berry, Doherty, Adahme, Edwards, Mannion all starting. That’s almost half the side.6 -

Paying someone up for the remainder of his contract is the last resort .. end of the day it’s a loss on the financial sheets that you were not expecting ..Braziliance said:It's odd that we have waited till now to deal with Fraser. Maybe another club have messed us about?

9 out of 10 this window and please how were we going to keep May once he asked for a move and would have lost himBraziliance said:It's odd that we have waited till now to deal with Fraser. Maybe another club have messed us about?

8.5/10
Ten of the starting XI from last weekend were signed from January onwards - eight are “NJ” signings: the three that aren’t are Gillesphey, Coventry and TC.
The two windows together are quite good. It makes the January window a retrospective 7/10 as well after everyone panicked and lost their sh*t over Corey and George leaving.
Edit: I forgot about Lloyd Jones as well, who obviously wasn’t a NJ signing. So of the weekend starting XI, only Jones and TC were here 12 months ago.4 -
We had an option to extend his contract. If we really wanted to keep him I think we could have, but I also am not that bothered because I think his sale is probably part of the reason our squad is overall better than last yearRonnieMoore said:

Maybe, Mr Berkshire ..... but according to NJ the aim is promotion.Berkshire1970 said:Good point oggy Red! I think Nathan knows what we need now but couldn’t do anything about it. We are work in progress so we might have to accept it may take another season for promotion.
Whether we achieve that or not, we may well have to play another 43 games first
But whatever the eventual outcome, we as supporters need a full season experiencing the thrill of the chase.
Me? I'm happy to see how it all unfolds, game by game.

And then not signing Oshimen when they've needed a striker.killerandflash said:

That’s one of those signings that could go either way; there’s a chance he will do very well there, but I reckon there’s just as much chance that he’ll be absolute dog turd for them. Here’s hoping for the second option!ValleyGary said:Nketiah gone Nigels8
