Be honest, it was a good night.....

[peteblue]

Between the blues on here and on twitter(during slow periods obv.) it was a good night of banter coupled with extreme emotion......one minute Lukaku was going to WBA, then we got £6M off them for Vic......a great night on the interweb....

Because you kept suggesting Kevin Doyle and durge faux McFadz Scottish players.

Lukaku though..

I would have liked to have seen a creative player come in tbh. Having said that we've made some great signings. I just hope we can get goals this season. Relying heavily on Barkley to link the midfield to our striker. Barry, Gibson and Mccarthy are all solid players but lack creativity.

Am I the only one who thinks that although we had a good night, we could have had a better transfer window overall?
My reasons are based on money, or lack of it!
With the new TV cash plus the £30m+ from Fellaini and Anichebe sales (roughly £50m in total) AND the January money we supposedly had, how come we have only spent around £30m in total?
Have we paid off a big sum from our debts? Have the board members pocketed it?
Just seems that we are all happy with the signings we have got, but basically we have only done what we have done for the last few years - sold one of our biggest assets and signed in cheaper replacements.
I feel that if we had splashed a bit more cash on another forward as well as Lukaku (who is only on loan remember) such as Rhodes or Vossen and maybe bought that Martins Indi defender (approx cost £20m in total) we would be in an even better situation.
As the squad was, I believed we needed another striker and a centre defender to take over from Distin.
And what we got was a striker in to replace a striker going out and no defender. This is why I believe we are still short in both positions.
With a bit of luck we may be able to buy Lukaku after his loan period has finished but I wouldn't bet on it.
Fingers crossed though!

It was! First time I've ever seen an unrequited love thread on here.

Fekkin exhausted me. When the Fernando story broke it went nuts, then when it was off, soooo down. Then had supper with Mrs R, logged on this morning, and BOOM!

 

[Duncan Disordely]

There was one point; Lukaku off to WBA, McCarthy no deal, Fernando no deal, Fellaini going; that I was ready to put my foot through the TV as it looked like everything had gone wrong.

However those last 10 minutes were boss when it all came back together

 

[TippEverton]

I'm getting away from it all next deadline day, pub with no tele, or the cinema, anything really, just get back when its all finished.

 

[Fensta]

It was an interesting one but kinda ruined by Sky Sports News with their bullsh*t information and the always obnoxious Jim White. Hate the way SSN pat themselves on the back for basically reporting on other people's stories they've nicked.

 

[ijjysmith]

£6m for Anichebe though

 

[Kantareller]

Kudos to Bill Kenwright. Honestly, he deserves it. Matched Dave Whelan's demand and actually raised the loan fee for Lukaku so Chelsea chose us! He did well last night, he did well.

Good bye to Marouane & Victor.
Can't believe Victor is gone. But nothing lasts forever.
