Someone identified to replace at least a couple of the players we planned to get rid of in the window. Except that is the point, the club said the summer was a failure and mistakes will be learned from and then in all that time all the short list came up with was Morgan schneiderlain? So...

Can you see where I am coming from now? Everyone quick to offer justifications to not signing players or even having this plan on mind in the short term, but it's the short term where the league games are.

That is true. But in our case if we lose Ross we have no creativity in the middle. If we lose rom we have no goalscorer at all. That counts for something when we need the point.

They might have much better squads, counts for nothing if we get more points than them come may. We wanted 2 of the strikers I originally named, so for at least a brief moment the club did want them. And again this idea of the kids playing back up suggests that a minimum of 5-6 are ready now...

For the results now. Apparantly we have got money remember? And we just had to use a massive wage bill increase up before the end of the season as well! At the same time we aren't bolstering, we are removing competition from the squad as well. Yes most of the outs may never have played in that...

We bought one and the other is the last one since Barkley moved up. In that time two massively rated young kids in ledson and lundstrum proved they weren't good enough whilst another two threw their career away. But my question still stands, how have we suddenly got an academy that magics up...

One that has never played that role under 3 managers? But like saying Coleman is a good goalscorer, he can be back up as well!

Isn't it always for 6 months though? And the self proclaimed failings of the summer (in the clubs words) were only for 4 months then as well. This is swerving into talking about transfer business this window which I have said I'm happy with. I just don't see playing the kids for 4 months is...

Essentially yes. Mirallas hasn't ever played as an out and out striker by 3 managers though so that isn't likely to change

This isn't davek light. This is pointing out the obvious we have no competition still in the squad and very little in the way of back ups all over the place. I'm sorry for not believing that maybe promoting a load of the academy is the magic solution, I tend to live in the real world where not...

He is a forward, an option up top for them as a back up.

OK mate. Which of our youth set up thst wasn't trusted in the past 14 years by the managers is playing top level football? Only Wallace and he will be back in the championship soon enough. Apart from that, how many have actually 'made it' elsewhere to play at the level to be chasing Europe?

Nolito mate. Also just signed a Brazilian kid so they have 2 senior and two young. We have one senior and one who had played like two league games.

We didn't buy perez either, he crap as well? We failed to sign koulibaly allegedly, he crap? We failed allegedly for witsel mata carvalhio in the summer. All them crap?

Again we tried to buy two of them

In the long term yes. In the short term we now have no back ups to lukaku that have had more than you can count on one finger of premier league experience. Valencia isn't a striker , more of a wide player so not comparable. In the short term we need to at least have some back up. If it isn't...

Still within the 6 years mark ;) But I did forget about him. Kinda proves my point though as how long before Ross was Rodwell then? All of a sudden everyone is happy to play them all.

If it replaces kone then I'm all for it.

We tried to buy two of them?

Again Let's all laugh at the poster who suggests a lists of players which includes TWO players we actually wanted to sign.
