It speaks very poorly of our transfer operation to be a week away from the end of the window and having so much of our focus on players that can't be had at any price, something we should have sussed out months ago.

It speaks very poorly of our transfer operation to be a week away from the end of the window and having so much of our focus on players that can't be had at any price, something we should have sussed out months ago.
We're building up and going for the mother of all 'we trieds'
At this point I think i want the window to just shut. We are the laughing stock of all so called 'big clubs'.
On the upside we might just be witnessing levy digging a grave that even he can't get out of unless he manages to pull something commendable off.
Truly annoying how some have just moved on from what is our biggest win in 41 years...but we didn't win the transfer trophy, that's what really matters.
Yes we did but I'd like to see us win more trophies, not having to wait another decade plus before our next one.
They are a joke
Every single one of them
Acting so superior because people are frustrated about a window where we have acted like complete amateurs and threaten to throw another manager under the bus
Just ignore them at this point , they can all stand on a big soapbox together and tug each other off about what great fans they are
Oh, absolutely shocking, isn’t it? Akliouche’s price has gone up in the last few days – who on earth could have predicted that? I mean, it’s not like someone would take advantage of us being completely backed into a corner with only five days left in the window to sort out a number 10 and a winger. Unbelievable.
This is also why our fanbase is pathetic. We've now gone to "let's just get El Khannous and get it over with". EL KHANNOUS IS ANOTHER FUCKING WASTER WHO WE'LL STRUGGLE TO GET RID OF IN 3 YEARS TIME. THE 9TH RICHEST CLUB IN THE WORLD IS TRYING TO HIJACK A DEAL OUT OF GODDAMN CRYSTAL PALACE!
This is what this fucking regime does best. It sucks all the joy out of this football club, so then the fans will be content with the bare minimum, because "at least we tried". Fucking sick of the cunts.

Well said.
It's absolutely pathetic and it's making a fucking mockery of the forum.
They all do.... Ditto the aggregator cunts that re-post all the bait and shit stirring.
It's one big cunt-circus and causes the vast amount of inter-fan conflict in the modern game.
The sad thing; there were lessons that could have been learned from the whole "Wenger-out"/AFTV shit-fest going viral and becoming monetised.... Instead other clubs fans just eagerly followed suit and choke down all the bullshit too.
Imo gooners have gone all out as we won the europa league last season. That hurt them. If they win fuck all this season makes them and legohead look even more stupid. This weekend we beat Bournemouth and gooners slip up at liverpool were top just before international break. Bliss!
I think that was the account that said Woolwich had hijacked the Eze deal an hour before Ornstein. Might be the only reliable source for us this entire window. Maybe maybe not but Rogers if the club is going that’s way is pie in the sky. A better player than Eze and probably £90m to make it work.
Fucking hell you've really taken the gooners stomping on us literally. No fans are allowing them to do that, Levy is. He's the one that is allowing us to be mugged off by Woolwich.
You keep talking about the Europa. Mate do you honestly think Woolwich fans care that we won the Europa when they are heading into a new season aiming to win the title and compete seriously in the CL? Having had their best summer window ever, full of optimism and expectation, backed by a board showing ambition to win?
We finished 17th and won a competition they aren't even eligible for because they qualify for a superior competition. Sorry but it stinks of West Ham crowing about winning the Conference League. Nobody gives a shit. How long do you think we can dine out on that? We can say "ahhh but we won the Europa", they reply "but it's a second rate competition".
Yeah it was a fantastic day out and all that, we won a trophy, it was amazing for us. But in the grand scheme of things, being a top team and challenging for the title and CL is where it is at. We are nowhere near and we never will be under Levy and ENIC.
And they will, Legohead is far too emotional and it spills out into his squads. He will never win the league.
They will fall flat on their arses again and fail but I still want our transfer business to be better.
Like what - again - give me one example where I have argued against a legit criticism...
In fact, give me a legit criticism that you have, just one.
BEK is the exact type of signing we need to move past. I'd rather sign no one than continue on with this buying the 15th choice dross.
If they don't win it this year, they're building a squad that can go for it again next year, with a better manager than that wasteman that they have at the moment.
Why is it so hard for people to comprehend that the World won't end after this season? If they don't win it this year, they might next year. Just like Chelsea, they'll eventually get it right, and it's fucking sickening.
Woolwich have a twat for a manager and no morals or class. But the Kroenkes got the chequebook out after all that pressure.
People doing these diversion tactics and coping mechanisms to make themselves feel better. "Oh Romano is against us", "oh look at you giving credit to Woolwich", 'oh there's not many options in the market".
We have been mugged off and all the anger should be directed at the board. They have absolutely done a number on us(again) and they have zero shame about it.

Indeed. If you're a selling club, you'll be milking £5m extra out of us at a minimum.
So missed targets, overdue signings, and millions wasted because of incompetence at the top. Alas, the only heads that should roll are the ones that won't.
On the contrary, some of us are including the rare and golden opportunity to push forward as part of the package we've been celebrating
