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.

i still think its possible there are more deals. bit dissapointed by the anticlimatic end, but we've had a good window overall, so i shouldn't be. assuming the 2 new signings are of danny guthrie class or better (i.e. competent to good PL players or better) we have done everything we needed to do, apart from sign a replacement for james milner and sign a fullback. which is pretty good. we could do with nacho being something a bit special, because we badly need creativity in the side.

what piece of shit is that from? nevermind

not one quote.

Southgate should get it.

last few hours tonight will be the fun part. see loads of clubs panic buy be funny as long as its not us

I hope so...he's quality, saying that though enrique has looked like he's improved somewhat...still we need a LB Oh yeah and a MCR and replacements for owen and barton

i never like spending points on transfers. i have arteta and deco, deco being captain last week saved my gameweek, otherwise i would have been murdered in my head to head. i've got carvalho now, removed baines. at some point i'm going to swap guthrie for jonas, but i'll need some extra money to do that. i think i'm going to stick with martins and lose VP at some point. I may even sell torres as well if a good cheap striker starts scoring goals. once i get jonas a midfield of jonas, arteta, fabregas and deco should work wounders.

He played far better tonight than he has for a while, much like he does for the U-21s, which is also against inferior opposition. He's not a winger though as he's awful out wide. He had nowhere near the same impact when he moved back there tonight. aye, behind the forwards seems to be his best postion, the only problem is he'll only score 8-10 goals if he plays there an entire season, and we have better options. Guthrie looks like he's a season or 2 away from being a very good player. he gets caught on the ball quite often, and there are a few too many missplaced passes, but after a couple of seasons of top flight football i think he could be a really good player

he was pretty good offensively all game tonight, and that ball was excellent. he made a few mistakes defensively, but he had the stregnth and ability to win the ball back (usually). not sure he could do that in the PL though, i think he would have been punished more. was good defensively as well mind, discounting 2-3 mistakes.

manuited or chelski as always parky. the guy i had in the head to head this week had 2 chelski defenders, 2 manure ones and van der sar. thought that was a very good way to do it, but i like having good attackers too much to sacrifice the amount of money that would require. who should i sell do you think, young (villa) or baines (everton). selling baines would get me an extra half a million, meaning i could buy carvalho, but baines is clearly the better player, will get more assists and goals, although villa will probably get a fair few more clean sheets than everton this season, once their back 5 settle.
