[Diogenes the Cynic]

Ive brought my pitchfork and torch, what times the angry mob turning up at finch farm today?

Glad that for tax purposes we don't own it now.

my pitchfork? its on loan like, torch is mine though
(hope my joking is coming across here and that I'm not actually part of an angry Martinez mob)

 

[bobafro]

This time last year we had already signed kone, so to be fair this window is going much better

I think it was the 8th when we signed him...

its fairly obvious our summer spending depends on Lukaku. I imagine there is a group of players in scenario A and another group in scenario B, but which scenario we have depends first on Rom

 

[nigelcoyb]

Type of player we're after has gone beyond the functional of old and that means competition from those that piss on us financially. Chels, City, Utd and the RS just bung a mill or two to someone and their targets are nailed we can't do that.

It'll be a late show like last year because we depend on the above and similar in europe closing their books. No matter how smooth Roberto is the potential of a few million more from elsewhere will always win out. What's left will be our market (see Lukaku).

What's left will be our market? You mean the same market the rest of the Premier League compete in beyond the big 5 clubs, plus Spurs? The fact West Ham are competing with us for Barry's signature proves just how difficult even a free transfer is. Players like Tadic we might as well forget at this point and as for Lukaku? Well, that was just pure fantasy. When Roberto said we needed 7 new players, what he meant was 4 or 5 of those would be promoted from the u21s. Time to get real I'm afraid, lids

Can't tell whether you're angry and agreeing or angry and not!!!!

This is the window a lot of the self professed fence sitters said they'd judge Kenwright on.

5 weeks to the season opener and we have less players in the squad than we had at the season's end.

Yes but still 56 days 3 hours and 30 minutes are left. RM has only just finished at the WC. I don't think it's the time to bash or praise anyone just yet. have faith or hope whichever spin you want, either way it's still early doors.

I've been a convert to your side of the Kenwright fence for a while mate but think you're right.

He really has to show up right now.

Which u21 lids are ready? None I would say, still need to develop. They may well be thrown in the deep end.

Thats me that. Remember saying it at the time.

Gulp.

Conor McAleny, Tyias Browning, Conor Grant, Ryan Ledson and George Green will be involved in the early rounds of the Europa League, make no mistake

 

[Moomin]

I bet his first training session will be with the projector showing the lads his pictures from Brazil.

" Haha, this was me and Ruud high on Ket playing thunder and lighting in the Favella's "

" Hahahaha, look that's Alexi Lalas asleep. Hahahahaha the next photo is............... My balls teabagging his grid "

Bloody disgraceful that we've signed no one while Roberto is gaffing about with Ruud.
