    Dave doesn't so much move the goalposts as much as he moves the whole pitch. Can never be proved wrong as he just changes the argument - Politics 101.

    When you consider we lost a number of players for no fee whatsoever then our spend has been (for us) considerable. It has also not been madness and I am sure will be sustainable. Although not perfect, we now have a team that looks like it can...

    Aston Villa fans will be wondering how they can afford 80% of Jadon Sancho's salary and still miss out on Jack Grealish... Kudos to the Friedkins on this one.

    No RB is a failure, but I'm otherwise delighted. 8/10 (two points off for no RB).

    Of course he favours his stronger foot. 100% of footballers favour their stronger foot. Just watched a compilation where he smashes the bar with a left footed shot from outside the box and puts in a nice cross with his left foot. He's certainly...

    I'm not sure about your maths here Dave. Alcaraz £12 mill, Dibling £35 mill, Dewsbury Hall £28 mill, Barry £27.5 mill, Aznou £8 mill, back up keeper £4 mill. So, even if you don't count the £21 mill obligation for Rohl or the £12 mill loan fee...

    Nobody mentioned net spend though Dave did they? You've had a mare on this window, I've never known anybody enjoy so much having something to whinge about in my life. It's an utter nonsense to try to say that they have not invested heavily in...

    But, I seem to remember you telling us that they would spend big on Roma, their 'main team' and we would have much less backing. If you count the obligation to buy fee, they've spent the best part of £150 million and that's without the £12...

    @davek spent a few bob on their ginger headed step child those yanks, didn't they?

    Adds some much needed physical presence in midfield. Welcome Merlin.

    Disappointed not to get a right back in, once again, but, I've gone with an 8. I think we are much stronger than we were at the end of last season and we have added some real quality.

    I've got some dubious mates with dodgy info if that helps.

    Youre quite correct mate, I do feel differently.

    In an ideal world Branthwaite and O'Brien should be our starting pair, Tarkowski is good with a partner who is quick, Branthwaite or O'Brien. Keane is ok with a quick partner as well. The time has come now for us to get a proper right back in...
