I genuine would not care if we didn't, even with Walker leaving.

It's funny that we've lost a RB and everyone is spunking at the thought of signing another central midfielder.

I mean, the consensus hasn't even swung to a priority replacement for Walker among the "Must Sign Someone Now" crew.......it's just anyone. Sign anyone.....spend 40M on Barkley to sit on the bench, with no comment about the loss in our back line.

We could sell Kane, and one week when the rage is gone, they will be fawning over some back up for Lloris to appease their cravings.

Sign him up! Sign him up!!!!!!!!!!!

:avbfacepalm:
 
Seriously, if we can't sign a fucking 13 year old from Fulham, a boy from Argentina who has played seven (count 'em!) times for a second-rate outfit or a third-choice goalkeeper from our manager's alma mater who actually played for us we might as well pull the plug on this thread and accept that Shiloh Tracey and Samuel Shashoua will be featuring against Chelsea on 19 August

And by the way, why do you insist on portraying people who want to see us strengthen our squad as bed-wetting imbeciles?

I'd like to strengthen the squad....not sure what you mean by that.

I won't pull my cock off if we don't sign anyone though. And I don't just want anyone.

I'd rather Winks get fit and game time than Barkley, and the same for Lamela over Lemar. Id like to use Wimmer than sign Mawson, and I'd be happy for Janssen to get going than sign Josh King.

Hopefully Onomah will shine this time round on the back of his fantastic summer. I'd rather that than spend 60M on Mr X.

That would be strengthening too....

We all want to strengthen, but some of you are so desperate for signings that the lines are blurred as to what is ACTUALLY going to improve us, and what is just simply a signing. Because you want one.

ITK is a cruel mistress :pochsulk:

It hasn't looked very likely anyway, but the point really remains that she's not "in the know" and either:

- Reads the ITK section of SC, hoping to word it like she's ITK, or;
- She thinks she has an "informer" who, in reality, is just some dreamer who sends her the "ITK" from SC like it's his own information

Right or wrong, you'll see an "ITK" post on there that matches what she tweets shortly before she tweets. She'll be linking us to Josh King soon.

Apart from RB, do you think we should improve the squad? I don't think RB is a pressing concern. We, for some reason, have not bought a striker, despite having half a year to scout some half-decent kid. We could do with a CB; Foyth looks like the plug for that hole, and an AM; Barkley looks likely now. I get that early signings are not always possible, but we do not even have a RB replacing Walker. A position that you are concerned about.
Barkley might not be the answer to anything. I do get that; however, sometimes it is nice to see intent. Personally, I like Barkley and think he will do very well here.
