Hopefully there is an opening at a Circus Football team, then these sorts of keepers will have a chance of finding another local.

We haven't. It was just a typo in an initial article (southampton rather than Wolverhampton) which was corrected, but all the other sites seemingly didn't catch up.

Not the 2nd renewal. There was no approval over that. This is what people are up arms about....not the fact he got an initial deal, the unfathomable reason he got another 12 months later.

First extention, no real moans. 2nd extention 12 months after already signing a long-term brought a lot of total WTF's. I'd really love to hear the clubs reasoning behind that as it makes not a single jot of sense in squad or financial management.

Yeah, confirmed now. Back to his home club....sure he's chuffed! Maybe this now opens up a space for us to re-enter the market. (not sure it will open much space financially mind you)

Julio Cesar didn't look close to being any good at any point during his QPR stint.

Absolutely not, but as Turkish has put brilliantly above...and what others have alluded to before, our hit rate is very, very, very low on successful additions over the last 2 years. That's not good enough when we’ve been selling our ‘best’ most windows, and it means we've been lumbered with a squad full of mediocre players on large wages which we cannot shift. For a club that screamed out about how well run it is, this has been a cluster**** of shockingly poor squad and financial management over the last 2 years.

The updates on this website are done/were done by volunteers free of charge. If you are annoyed with the lack of updates on this website, why don't you put yourself forward to provide some updates?

I'd agree with that. Reminds me very much of Isgrove, always rated and kept on 'just in case', but ultimtley never really a top level player. Same will be the case with Hesketh and probably a couple of others too.

Nah, agreed. Nothing untoward going on there what so ever.

I wonder how they've got him so cheap? International central midfielder, European championship winniner, UCL player....

Another absolute panic signing from Everton.

Not speaking too soon......but.....Everton target Malcolm wants to move to Italy instead, looks like Inter will be his destination. So still no signings for Everton.....clock is ticking.

But on the flip side of that, if he'd have performed anywhere near his expected level for us and hadn't acted like a billy big ********, then we wouldn't have even been in that situation.

How many more attacking midfielders/number 10 types do they need FFS.

Yeah, Laxalt was one of Uruguay's best players I thought. Good little player. Lerma came on a couple of times for Columbia and added some physicality - he's done pretty well in La Liga in recent years.

He was more than good enough for Fulham in the NPC though. And more than good enough in the World Cup too, although could have probably got a couple more goals.

Ashley Young, what the actual? The team the ''BBC Player Rater'' automatically picked was fairer - it even had our Yoshida in it! But young, seriously, wtf.

I don't think you can say he's a proven goal scorer, he hit a purple patch when he arrived but was then largely ineffective. He's never been prolific in terms of numbers, which is why I've always seen him as more of a supporting striker/inside forward type. We certainly need another centre forward, as we'll end up with the same situations as the last 2 seasons if we ignore that. Can't rely on Austin, he will always miss big chunks. And you certainly cannot rely on Long to score goals. So we need some work up top for sure before this can be classed as a really good window.

What a truly pointless addition and waste of a squad space that would be for Watford. He needs to go to a country where he will play every week, unless he is more than happy to sit on his backside and just collect wages. Shambles of a player.

That’s what they do in the Brazil national side.

The French talent pool is ridiculous. You even have Dembele, Coman and Lemar who are quality players, yet they can't get in that side. Lacazette and Benzema left at home...

Yeah that's a fair view. Sterling is going to be one of these players who always promises lots, but actually delivers very little. I actually thought Henderson was decent in some of the games, but the problems came against the better sides and he was expected to do the job of two. Looking forward to seeing Sessengon at this level next season as I think he's an international wing back waiting to happen.

I wonder what name Barry Sanchez posts under these days? Larry I reckon.

Taking 5 game season rose was the bigger error. Young should have been backup to a better lb.
