We started the transfer window with a bang and ended with a disappointing whimper.
That is just perception, though. If they did start de transfer window with Chambers and Welbeck and sign Alexis Sanchez yesterday, everybody woulda be buzzing.
I am a bit disappointed in the Welbeck acquisition but prefer him to Remy. At the end of the day I realize that the striking options at this late stage were pretty limited but we've always known that Sonogo not up to snuff and Alexis will take time to adapt.
I am hoping that Welbeck seizes the opportunity just like Sturridge did after leaving Chelsea.
Biggest disappointment is the lack of activity on the defensive end especially as Vermaelen and Miquel are gone. For CB we have Per, Kos, Chambers and Nacho. I would argue we still need an upgrade on DM, but Diaby etc and so on.
Even though I think we are stronger that last year, the competition hasn't stood still. So after a promising start to the transfer window I feel that we are where we usually end up; a very good team that's a quality player or two short of the biggest competition. Anyway I would love for the team to make me eat my words. COYG.
