Is our toxic internet fanbase holding us back?

Moyes did say the infamous line ‘if not, we go with what we have’

Yeah I noticed a total sea change in his tone for the interviews this weekend, and I did pick up on that effing line too.

We got 8m for maupay this summer but either way, nice to be in credit this year

If we spend more than we recoup, we're in debit.

AMN still not gone anywhere. Suspect they’ll want closer to 15m though.

We also sold Yakubu Beckford and Vaughan in that window as well

Then followed it up by reinvesting all that money in Drenthe and Stracqulursi….on loan

Cheers Bill

Probably worth getting ahead of it and noting that when (not if, IMO) the deadline comes without us signing anyone else, it has been a good window on the whole and one that has taken the team a good few steps forward.

The right back thing is weird, and CM will be an issue with any substantial injury and/or AFCON, but we are a far better team now than we were in May.

The Leeds game was a waste but taking six from six from the rest of the month means most of my early fretting was misplaced. They’ve done a good job.

Meant AMN. Maitland-Niles

He usually plays a pretty straight bat anyway.

I'd say they may wait for Jan - although that is supposed to be the worst time to buy.

Be amazed if we don't loan somebody at least.

I do wonder with the team we’re putting together if TFG might go relatively big for a DM or RB and target a real push for the European places

 

[micknick]

Mick how do you think we should deal with the gloom merchants who spent all summer predicting ruin and trying to agitate other blues into being as miserable as them?

Should they be allowed to continue to post as though it didn’t happen?

Personally feel @GrandOldTeam should multi quote them and show them for what they are

The difference is, he said after 8 signing this time.

 

[chippy1722]

….they’ve certainly been quieter since we started winning games. There is an anti-Moyes faction that were suggesting there was no strategy to the acquisitions when I actually think we’ve been very strategic. Not much of that type of criticism this last week.

Hopefully a busy 24 hours and a couple more new faces.

They will be out in force as soon as we draw or get beat.

Did mention January as well.

Could be that if we’re in a decent position we could attract a higher calibre of player.
