They need cover for Danny Drinkwater who’s just gone on loan to Reading.

Jack wilshere is still scratching around looking for a club. He can empty the bins and clean the bogs at tottenham if he wants.
Is the only way to know things about other clubs is to frequent other teams forums?
Ok. So let's spend like the Chavs.
Oops, sorry, we don't have oil slave money or dodgy ex-soviet million laundered cash.
Only clubs that have won the league in the 21st century that possess finances similar to ours are Liverpool and Leicester. They both have spent incredibly well. We don't have any choice but to try emulate them.
I don't understand where some of you come from.
That's a hell of a swap.
That's like swapping Pat Butcher for Daenerys Targaryen.
If our midfielders are dropping deep to cover for the CBs struggles it has an effect and I might have missed it but do goals count less when the player who scores is deemed the responsibliity of the MF by ionman?
So in a way this is like saying a lot of random civilians are alive today because cops don't randomly shoot into crowds. We've dodged "potholes" that we as a club have identified as what we need. That's not an indictment on personnel recruitment it's an indictment on player evaluation/target acquisition...and also not a valid argument against "splashing the cash".
And just because they've not had success elsewhere doesn't mean that is how it would have played out with us. No one knows how Berahino would have panned out in the early days of Poch. And anyone that thinks they do know is either delusional for believing it or a moron for stating it. Too many variables to assume.
Now I don't have a problem with the basic setup of our financial matters (ie being financially sound/sustainable). I've always felt that Levy is never going to pay for the final bit to get us competing. My problem has always been that we don't fill the gaps in the squad, improve on players clearly not good enough, and we don't do it in a timely fashion. There's no sporting basis to these decisions and it's all money-driven and short-sighted opportunism. Each TW you can compile a better window than ours with players that have actually moved that window...for less money. It's not just a money thing. But it is a "sporting success is secondary to my balance sheet and I will give you evidence of that every chance I get" thing.

It's an English thread.....most of us from the UK.The English on here will say as long as Australia gets it first, total annihilation will be worth it.

Try aurier RW?
My point was just that its half of one dozen and 6 of another. The LevyOut brigade make fools of themselves in any given window frothing over not signing some player who completely bombs, as well.
At the end of the day, we're all posting here rather than working for a top football club because we collectively know the square root of fuck all.
Quite pleased levy didnt buckle and sell kane to city. Were a bigger club than city and dont rely on oil money to run our club. Think levy and patrici have done well. Weve behaved like a big club.

Turns out the correct answer to our RW vs CF debate was neither
You missed me saying I would take Traore at this point!
That is how desperate this transfer window has got me.
Just so everyone knows, today I worked out how to add gifs to messages. I’m 42 and never known how to do it.
Ive spent about an hour giggling to myself at all the different ones on offer. So, from now one, there’s a good chance I’ll include one in *every* post.
He ripped our midfield to shreds actually.
