[windymiller]

you're proper boring though

And you remind me of one of them annoying butlins red coats but I don't bang on about it.

 

[windymiller]

No it isn't?

I still believe we'll get three in and have been impressed by our business so far - this was my view this time last week.

Whatever you need to tell yourself chief

Hmmm...not sure I see your logic on this one. How do the "Happy Clappers" lose? Most of the "Happy Clappers" as you call them are happy with progress - any signings between now and the end of the window are a bonus. I'm personally not going to start chucking the toys and throwing a paddy fit because we haven't signed boss players for £100M. If you want to continue whining like a spoilt brat then do so, I will simply be hitting the ignore button.

At the start of the window until around about half way through they said there was going to be a big net spend and loads of top players and that team pampers should stay calm and be patient.

Well it looks like they were wrong and Team Pampers were right.

Now that they are saying what we were after is progress not net spend is nonsense. That's changing the goal posts.

@roydo lol

Gueye wasn't essential?? The lad is what we've been after for years. A bundle of energy in the middle. If stekeleburg cost £20m and signed from one of the big Italian teams we would be raving about him. He's won us points in every game we've played so far.

He went for Gueye when we had Barry, Besic, davies and mccarthy in place. Don't know about you but I'd see a second forward as much the more essential figure we need in.

Chadli played for the Moroccan under 21s, so call me a racist if you like but he is a man of North African heritage which may or may not suit your agenda.

lollollollollol

Yea Juve are big but they are the only half decent side in that league these days. It's diabolical compared to its former days.

I think it is making a come back, but still light years from what it was

 

[davek]

Hang on can we only sign players on a Monday now?

Not this Monday, obviously.

Still, there's loads of time left....hold on....

 

[ToffeeTim]

Can we ask the FA for an extension to FRIDAY?

For the price I certainly don't see why not but I also think the owner has no intention of selling. He shouldn't have signed that new deal.

Look, if you have the chance to improve an area for that amount of money, do you turn it down because you have a couple of players in that position already? It looks as though Gueye is more effective than any of Barry, McCarthy, Besic or Davies. A striker will come. We still have time.

Let him rot in the ukraine.

We have been crying out for an effective winger because of Martinez's dire attempts at getting hold of one, so we got Bolasie. Gueye does McCarthy's job about 10x better than him, and Stekelenburg has shown he is more than capable so far - replacing yet again another horrific Martinez singing in Robles, who couldn't even compete with Howard.

"Effective" Bolasie. Crack on mate.

Can we please not use a bloody season ticket slogan as an excuse to slate the club?

Genuinely don't have a problem with the slating but it's the fact a lot of these 'tales of broken promises' are based on a bloody slogan!!!!

NOBODY has PROMISED anything.

The HYPE has been from the FANS (as it always is).

The only thing that has been said by the club is that we are working on 2-3 deals still to be completed.

There's two days left of the window.

So far today, two PL clubs have made signings - Southampton signing a 22-year-old from Lille and WBA signing Chadli.

We're in a much better position heading into the final few days of the window than we were at the start of it, and more business will be done.

A slogan used by the club to promote season ticket sales.
Not just a throw away comment.
Agreed promises were not made but suggestions and speculation pointed to bigger and better and before anyone says it's only speculation it has come from too many sources not to have some truth behind it.

I'm really really hoping we are wowed in the next couple of days but feel we have significantly lowered our ambitions from a couple of months ago.
