Also he said he expects the sack if they don't finish 4th so you think he would say yes we need at least one player he must have been watching a different game to me on Wednesday night.But not just that game we have got lucky in some this season

What's pissed me off more than ANYTHING is Timmy's attitude. He has been asked by DL if he wants to strengthen the team and he has said no, doesn't need anything. Well Sorry Timmy, if you cannot see we urgently need a another LB, we need another forward then you should not be manager of this club.
It's plain as bloody day we are lacking in these positions, so to dismiss it is fucking lunacy.

so
 
So he is counting on not many players being out or suspended from now until may . Shocking if you ask me the three teams above have tried to get players or have done so have Everton just below us

It would require Sturridge, Suarez, Coutinho, and Sterling to all break their ankles at once and for us to bring in quality reinforcements for us to possibly make it this year....No board is going to sink an extra 20 million when the competition is better than previous seasons and the expenditures aren't guaranteed to bring success.

So do you not think previous January windows when we`ve actually been in the top 4 back up my point that Levy couldn`t really give a fuck. In fact a couple years ago we we`re actually considered to be in the title race when instead of backing Redknapp Levy Rewarded him by bringing in up and coming starlets Ryan Nelson and Louis Saha. ~I`m sorry, but Levy`s got form on this. And if you think throwing in the towell when were only 3 points behind the top 4 is justified then you then your expectations really are much lower than mine.

IMO this is exactly why Levy appointed Sherwood in the first place. He knew he wouldnt demand new signings and knew he wouldnt ask any questions. He was the easy option. The cheap option. In other words he`s nothing more than Levys Puppet. I`m fully expecting him to be offered a contract extension so long as we finish top 7.

Why? Who did you want us to sign?

It's not about who we want him to sign, More who we NEED him to sign. The fact we have needed a LB since the summer has seemingly escaped him.
It's clear to see that there are better full backs than Rose. However if Timmy has decided Rose is his number 1 fair enough but we sure as hell need a back up, because again, everyone can see Naughton will never be good enough.

You obviously haven't read my posts properly. All I've ever said was that he's too inexperienced and came across as arrogant in interviews, but if he does the business I will support him. That hasn't changed, but this sort of shit worries me deeply.

That is unless you are of the opinion that no areas of the squad need cover or rotation.
 
I'm not torn up at all. We've got a massive squad already and have paid the price for too much turnover in the squad; it's not a great idea to start adding more faces unless they are in positions of absolute need, and I think that the only position that qualifies for that at the moment is probably left-back.

With Verts, Sandro, and Paulie coming back I'd rather the team focuses on easing them back into the squad and bringing them up to match fitness and getting Lamela, Chadli, and Soldado up to snuff.

Well, how about Contrao on loan as part of Levys special relationship with Madrid. We need a left back. And we do have a special relationship. Levy said so himself. And as were playing 4-4-2 quite often, how about a striker to replace Defoe. What happens if Ade or Soldado gets injured. Theres plenty of names in Europe we could have brought in. Everton, Liverpool, Chelsea and Utd all strengthened. I`m disappointed we didnt, thats all.
 
Looks like nothing will happen before the window shuts.
We will depend on Adebayor and Soldado the most stable strikers in the premium league.
