As things stand, Phillips and Raphinha gone, this is possibly one of our worst transfer windows in years.
Just a note of caution on Tyler Adams. He has only finished 9 games last season. He always had to come off or was unavailable due to injury. He has taken nearly double the amount of games than Phillips to hit the same number of tackles, interceptions, duels. Doesn't seem to add up to me. The lads only 23 and should be smashing it. I'm an unashamed fan of Berge. His injury was a long term one which he recovered from on last seasons efforts. Solid. I don't know Camara but he sounds a bit like Kante and we should try and nip in front of Brighton if he is the chosen one.
Worrying thing is that clubs know we’ve sold, know we need replacements so the ball is in the selling clubs court which isn’t ideal. Hopefully the promise of cash now will make the selling clubs happy and we can convince the top talent to come. I would’ve preferred to get all our business done and then sell the players like Aston Villa with Grealish as what will the club say once the deals are confirmed this week? That they’re working on replacements which won’t go down well. At least when Villa did it they said we’ve sold Grealish but got X and Y in as replacements.
Cresswell wanted by Sunderland, Milwall and the Blunts to name just 3 Championship clubs. Looks like he will go out on loan and hope he smashes it

I just had a look at completed transfers and there are still quite a few clubs that have released but not signed anyone. One name that did jump out at me, and I might be mistaken, Liverpool released Ben Woodburn. Wasn't he supposed to be a big star for them? Someone will know. He's training with Preston.
Scousers youngest ever scorer at the time when he got the winner against us in the League Cup in 2016 , and paper talk was next big thing to come out of Anfield. Numerous loans and injury issues since then, means he's played only 50 league games in last 4 years
Left backs in the club are now just Firpo and Davies as McCarron was a pretend LB in reality but a left winger in practice. Good luck to him at Stoke but could this mean a return by Alioski as he terminated his contract yesterday? Or have we got a LB lined up?
Stoke fans are convinced this means Emre Tezgel is coming the other way. 16 year old wonderkid forward who has scored 9 in 10 for England u16's/U17's. 12 goals in 9 games for Stoke under 18's, and 4 goals in 11 games in the under 23's He was already linked with a move to us before McCarron went. Youngest to ever play for Stoke first team. Unsurprisingly this hasn't exactly made waves on the LUFC transfer front as we focus on the first team but they seem gutted at the prospect of losing him.
Getting myself braced for transfer disappointment because that cnut Decco was photographed leaving Barcelona offices today, which means he is doing a deal with them for a cut price Raphinha in January. Meaning that Leeds dont get the £65m Chelsea have offered. Watch this space
