I can’t wait till it’s over. Months on end of selling 25 players, signing Rogers out the blue, chasing a journeyman Rayo LB for 6 weeks, remember when we were after Xhaka? But annoyed Sunderland with a low bid and they wouldn’t talk to us anymore. Or that one day when we signed Henderson and Welbeck in the space of an hour.
Sanchez was the starting keeper this time last week, signed Martinez the day after, sold Sanchez today etc.. go to make some dinner then next thing you know Spurs (our biggest rival) have decided to buy Tosin and get Mudryk (who was still banned for doping this time last month, got overturned overnight) still got about 5 sales to do, 5 loans, sell Enzo for £130m+ and apparently we’re supposedly going big on deadline day with names like Camara, Kone, Scott, Wharton, MGW flying around.. and if Neto goes they’ve got a winger lined up too.
As it stands we’re probably starting two RB’s in James and Gusto in midfield at the Emirates on Sunday. This time tomorrow it could be, say, Wharton and Camara.
It’s genuinely exhausting. The first few weeks are fun, but after that? It gives me a headache.
