Fuck me. Glad some of those are proven enhancements before they've played a couple of matches for us. Of course they're better... they're newerer!
There will be a backlash if our points tally doesn't start picking up very quickly. Teflon Dan will do his usual "sack the manager" routine pointing at the poor run of results & we are back to square one. The truth is almost everyone is wise to him now- fans, managers & chairmen. We unsettled Schneiderlin before making an unacceptable offer last summer. We have unsettled Berahino & Wanyama in this window before making unacceptable offers. Now we will end up ditching Poch if he doesn't start getting results, whilst Levy balances the books & takes his hefty bonus. It will be interesting to see how Poch manages the players he has & if he can get our season up & running. I'd really like him to succeed, but I do fear that he is only a couple of bad results away (& a thrashing at one of our rivals) from the boot. It may be melting, but fuck it...it happens so regularly with that bald bastard that it has become a very bad joke.
Team says "you pay X his yours" = willing to sell. This is why I struggle to agree with you. You won't back down in any point no matter how small despite evidence to the contrary.
As I said I agree with a lot of the other things you said in summary of the window.
I've said many times Levy is like Gordon Brown, he's a tactician not a strategist. He's brilliant acting on his feet and fighting small battles here and there but he always struggles with the bigger picture.
Taking some positives and reading that post then yes the squad is stronger and we have kept our best players. We do need back up and would rather have kept Soldado over Adebayour if there was a choice. Adebayour is now in the last year of his contract and if there is a way back for him (and squad no) then we may get some more effort from him and if not then he is gone next year.
We know what we have to play with, so lets see what the season brings
Stambouli signed for PSG mate. Other than that you're on fire.
Exactly. So well put.
If you had walked up TCR a bit further, on the junction of Oxford street, you would have got a deal for Austin with a street vendor.
Half the asking price, twice the player, no guarantee. Sometimes you have to go with gut instinct, or even form would be nice. I'm sure the clubs recruitment dept gets its ideas from this forum, big fuckin mistake.
THAT'S IT !!!!! From 1 extreme to another.
IT'S LEEDS ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!
And if this proves wrong?
People say net spend means nothing. They say it`s used just as another stone to throw at EnIC. They say some of us are obsessed with it. Well, when we face at least half a season with only one recognised striker, don`t have that much needed DMF after starting the season with 3 points from 12, and then see us outspent by the likes of Bournemouth, Watford, West Brom and many others, i think it`s only right that ENIC`s net spend policy should be questioned. After all, if all these clubs can finish the window with a positive spend in excess of 20million, then surely we could have done more to strengthen these key positions. Why are people trying to excuse the inexcusable fact that ENIC are only interested in lining their own pockets
We only have one striker
We only have one DM
We do not have a better squad than last season
We still have Pooch
Reasons to be cheerful Pt 3
We got a sneak preview 25 minutes from the end of the Stoke game. Or don't you remember?
So... Anyone got any plans for 48 hours time?
Not gonna give up on the team. None of us will. Worried though.
Anyway, whats the latest on Adebayor. Is he still here ? If so, will he be integrated back into the squad ? After all, he`d be playing for his next contract wouldn`t he.
I am organising collection buckets for the next home game. Hopefully we can sort enough cash to help balance the books.
Am I the only one not bothered about berahino ...njie, chadli, son will cover if needs be ...I'm more annoyed we didn't get a combative midfielder , some steel and experience in the middle I would have preferred we spent £22 m on Kramer or bender or someone of that ilk
