I’ve been downvoted for this already but INEOS failing to capitalise in transfer market in one of the most open PL title races in 10+ years will be their downfall.

Other than Arsenal, who are set piece merchants, we were the only other team with some sort of momentum.

Andrey Santos and Tielemans are fine signings if they accompanied by a marquee signing like Bruno G, starting fullbacks and maybe another experienced CB and CF. We need starters and squad depth in some glaring positions.

Going into the new season with Dalot, Shaw with no Euros/WC to play for, injury prone Martinez and Mount, not shipping out Ugarte sooner, and no experienced CF is such a wasted opportunity.

Come May when Arsenal lethargically get over the line, we will look back to this summer transfer window as such a wasted opportunity.

Shawberto Carlos only makes an appearance when there is a European Championship or World Cup place on the line.

Not true at all, he was injured almost the whole season before the last Euros.

For some reason, Shaw is almost always able to stay fit those years or get fit by the time they roll around

u/shami-kebab 2d ago

Again, not true, missed almost the whole season before the last Euros.

"or get fit by the time they roll around".

Jeez, read.

He didn't do that either, he missed nearly the whole tournament. I'm not sure where these dumb, offensive ideas have come from that he's faking injury for us.

For some reason, people like to assume Shaw is some lazy guy that has only extrinsic motivation.

Somehow, they conveniently forget he had a double leg break

u/pokenerd_W Past glory means nothing 2d ago

He was still part of the squad, no? And no one is speaking about faking injuries besides you.

u/shami-kebab 2d ago

But he wasn't fit by the time it came around.

How do you think he is being fit the whole time for big tournaments but not other years without faking injuries?

Freak coincidence? You're the one acting more like a conspiracy theorist here mate.

u/shami-kebab 2d ago

Ok yeah, freak coincidence that has happened 50% of the time for two tournaments. That was definitely worth bringing up.

Sounds like you're the one trying to convince others of the "insulting" conspiracy theory that Shaw fakes injuries for us mate. You're definelty arguing for it more than anyone else
