if we're very lucky we'll get out of this with both ashley and keegan at the club. if one goes, i wont be so optimistic.

our owner then

i think we should wait and find out what actually has happened before wishing death on our chairman tbh.

really? Who? Man City & Tottenham. Sunderland have also improved their squad more than we have. Mind you ours is still better than theirs by some distance, but in theory they've closed the gap somewhat. Villa have also improved - that Milner lad looks to have a good future . Everton haven't improved much, but Saha could be a key signing for them IF he actually plays (and that's a big IF). city and spurs have signed better players, but both are in europe and have much more spending power. if we'd had spurs transfer window we'd be fuming as well. they've signed a lot of midfield quality and got a decent keeper, but they still only have big big questionmarks up front, and only 3 centrebacks, 2 of which are the most injury prone in the league. they also really need a DM, who they have not signed, unless corluka plays there, which he probably will to be fair. with the amount of stick people are giving keegan and (mainly) ashley over having only 3 strikers, 2 of which are injury prone (now 4), we'd be fuming if we only had 3 centrebacks, 2 of which had king and woodgate's injury record. villa have improved aye, but we've done a bit better imo. sunderland have closed the gap, but they've done that by turning their team into something better than really poor. they now have a team that can call itself a premiership team. but to improve it again next year, while still paying over the odds for the players they have signed in the past 2 seasons, will be harder.

ok Ant, who exactly were you expecting to sign? Considering we were linked with the likes of Modric etc back in January (when us getting euro football was out of the question and the likes of spurs hadn't qualified or won the cup yet) to signing unheard of player on loan and youngsters who prob shouldn't be making the 1st team. i think we should have at least been able to compete with the likes of Portsmouth for players like Diarra etc (hadn't qualified for europe then either) Think i'd happily have had Defoe at the time and all if nacho is un heard of then what exactly was modric in january? i for one didn't know he existed until thetransfer saga. we can compete with pompey, but that doesn't mean that by right any player they sign should be not good enough for us.

i'd say a lot depends on how good nacho is. i would have prefered one more CM and another defender, but thats good.

who have improved more? city withstanding, if we'd had any of the other 19 PL team's transfer windows we would be fuming right now.

Then do us all a favour and literally fuck off. how about you fuck off yourself you wanna be an optimistic fucker happy with those signings fine i think I'll stick with waiting to see what there like and keeping my opinion due to their piss poor stats at former clubs, previous experience etc sorry a striker with a 1/4 ratio and a midfielder from a club who nearly got relegated and couldn't manage to get on for them doesn't instill great prospects why everyone thinks we've managed decent signings before seeing any of them kick a ball considering not a single fcking one of the optimistic crowd had even heard of them is beyond me least my view that they might not be great has a basis you're doing Exactly the same thing that you're criticising others for, judging players that you've never seen. i think we've improved more than any team outside the top 4 bar city and possibly boro, slightly more than villa. we're not going too, in one window, go from lucky to avoid relegation to CL contenders, so that is fine by me.

I do think thats it for us. Just waiting to see if Berb fell through Still odd that we sold Milner without lining up a replacement (unless Jonas was it) you're probably right, but i doubt keegan was doing nowt on deadline day, but we had no coverage of breaking transfers on ssn, so that makes me feel that we were doing things ssn were not aware of, or were not looking at because of berb and robinho. whether we signed those players is another matter, although, because the official site announced the 2, we probably didn't complete any late deals we were going for, if we were going for them.
