What a terrible window this has been. There's no way you'd leave it this late to sign any player.
To also let Jones leave without a replacement is amateurish. We shouldn't be waiting on what a Jones or Macca wants to do. Their replacements should have been here already.
Not signing Adam Wharton for one, is a huge misstep. Homegrown and would have walked to get here. Palace would have negotiated a reasonable fee weeks ago. Then seeking a proper gritty athletic 6 should have been a priority.
There's no clever thinking behind any of this.
Hughes looks like a right buffoon.
We wanted Diamonde to replace Salah. The lad went to Madrid. How do you go from a 19 year old to Sarr nearly 10 years older when that also goes against our apparent transfer policy?
You can't and won't win anything with the midfield we have. I don't care if you signed Mbappe. That midfield can't be "coached" to win a league.
Also Conor Bradley, when's he back because there's a lot resting on his shoulders for the right back role.

Adam Wharton's passing is a joy to behold.

Some said Wharton wasn't better than Macca ?, but when they watch him play again, such as tonight, his quality is there.
I've repeated myself all summer. Adam Wharton is top class and would have been a revelation for us.
Far too late in the window to bid for Wharton. Palace will say no because of timing. The lad wants the Liverpool move too. 22 and he's soo silky already.

Camara incoming, but you'll
have to wait till
Tuesday morning.

I love Wharton, but the idea that Palace would sell him for less than Anderson is fantasy. He is at Palace until someone pays £100m plus for him.

If Macca was to go, then I certainly wouldn't be against Wharton as long as we signed another with him, but if we are only signing one midfielder, then it can't be him. We surely need someone a little more robust, not necessarily to kick lumps out of people, but certainly more physical and positionally aware.

Am I watching the same game here? Wharton and Kamada have been absolutely shocking. Foden and Cherki are just waltzing through the Palace midfield repeatedly.
Wharton is not at all what we need. He's as tackle-shy as anyone in the league. The two times this game he challenged for a 50/50, it took him a solid minute to get up and limp back into position.

We have enough soft lads who care more about hairdos and not getting injured - we need some grit.
Interesting that Andoni's two choices so far in Munoz and Araujo are edgy MFs who like to get stuck in. Do you think Andoni may have noticed

The fact that Camara is next and is another player who loves to get stuck in tells
