Considering Moshiri is the man apparently the man that's meant to be the man that's taking us back to the big time his first two transfer windows have been underwhelming.

What were you expecting? Messi? Ronaldo?

Buying youngsters and getting rid of dead wood.

It's almost as if they've got a plan or something!

What's sky bet giving as the odds for Jim White getting the sack as deadline days have gone crap and then going full private piles on the Mosh? 'You promised me business Farhad!!'

He'd buy his way out with Moshri's millions, C

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and what not

Oh sack that, Moshiri is ruthless, he'd let his mate get eaten by a Lion if means we can sign Michael Keane

Less of that mate.

You're only allowed in here if you're really angry we've not bought in players we don't really want because the ones we do weren't available.

Or

We couldn't find a nobhead of a striker who wanted to come here and sit on the bench praying our top scorer dies or something.

Should write just give up owning 2 strikers then mate?

Seems to be the consensus that signing a second striker has to be one happy to sit on the bench and not fight for a place in the team. So should we just give up and never sign one again?

I know a striker happy to sit on the bench, his names kone and we are shipping him out tonight so what's the point in having more than one striker eh?

No. You have a player like DCL who will work his ass off to get a chance.

You mean an 18 year old with no top flight experience and still learning the game?

Yeah that works as well. I remember all the successful teams who have one striker and a kid as back up, erm.....struggling here with one.

Is this the answer? Have the reserves fighting for a place in the team? Balls to signing players at all then, always an academy player there ready to fight for a place in the team.

Just wondering, we have had like one academy player come through in the last what? 6 years in Davies. Before that Rodwell, why all of a sudden has our academy gone POOF squad full of players ready for top level premiership football?

In the summer we need....

Goalkeeper to be No.1
Backup fullbacks x2
A shiny new centre half
A striker
A winger
A second striker
A new lukaku contract
Sell Mccarthy
Sell all those currently on loan (excluding kids)

Not too much to ask.
