Welcome James!!!

The burden of the price tag should fall on the manager's shoulders, not his. If it works out, happy days, though and it may!

I can stomach £13m thanks to Lukaku. I don't think we could have done any better as far as strikers go, so hats off to Martinez there.

Very pleased with this window. Very pleased. It did not look good a few hours ago.
 

The fee for McCarthy is not exorbitant. it just feels that way for a pauper club like this.

The lad will prove himself a cracking buy, IMO.

I've got to be honest Dave I think the water carrier types importance is well overrated in football. I can't see how people pay big money for them.

What do you see in the lad that I'm not seeing?
 
You were right on negative net spend, especially when certain people thought we would have 30 million to spend.

They'll be the same people who expect money to be there in January mate.


The scale of the delusion amongst our lot is mind boggling. Kenwright's like the pied piper for them.
 

If Martinez values him that high then its what the manager wants and you have to trust him. Lets be honest everyone, including myself, couldn't understand the Gibson deal and none of us have seen enough full match time (apart from 3/4 games a season) to judge the lad.

Not keen on Barry, but what the 2 offer now is a competitive midfield made up of youth and experience and the ability to change as and when required
 
Paid 3m too much for McCarthy but got 4m too much for Felli so works out ok.

Exactly. We've levered a few extra quid out of ginger nuts to pay over the odds for McCarthy. Either way he doesn't set the price, hope he goes onto be a good signing

By the way, I hope we NEVER do business with the gobby pie-eating Whelan ever again
 
Brilliant signing, ended up paying less that I thought we would even though we robbed United blind for Fellaini.

I rate McCarthy, and I cannot wait to see him play for us.
