Stoke getting Bony on loan with a view to sign for £8.5m thats a steal at todays prices.

I thought he'd already agreed to move to China in January and any loan was only til then

Jim never change...keep tweeting more on our proud club who do things with dignity and class.

 

[DRINGO]

That a good insane or bad insane ?

It's almost criminal we didn't get him given the low figure we settled for Stones for off City.

Most would think £25m+ for Bolasie falls into the same bracket of stupidity.

Perhaps we just have our targets and we'll pay what it takes to get them. It's a new era in that regard; I can't see us haggling over pennies like under Moyes. But of course that opens you up to overpaying as well.

At the end of the day I just want us to sign good players. I think Sissoko is a good player, though not a £30m player and Bolasie isn't a £25m one, but I'm glad we signed Yannick and I'll enjoy watching him more than 25 million unspent pounds.

We didn't pay twice the actual value for Bolasie though (I rated him about £15-18m), whereas Sissoko is a £16m player tops. £30m would be a disgraceful panic buy.

Luckily it looks we're not in for him, and I couldn't be happier.

As you imply, the (very short run) form of Holgate and Stekelenburg has allowed this window to pass by without any feeling of panic for our onfield chances. However, that is a very thin straw to rest so much weight on.

You're bang on about this deadline day being used to top up rather than be everything hingeing on it. This is poor planning what we're seeing here right now.

The unfathomable dimension to this window so far is the failure to get a support striker in for Lukaku. Once it was known he was staying that should have been sorted. Koeman secured Long as a good foil for their starting striker at S'ton and - although he inherited two different types of squads - that was always a priority here...and the new working relationship with Walsh doesn't cut it as an explanation.

Yes. And yes.

I remain confident (hopeful)...but surely...SURELY that's a situation that'll be addressed.

Surely.

 

[marnie]

It's seriously missing a dildo this deadline day.

Yeah .....llamadrama

"insane window"

This insane window hasn't stopped anyone else from signing players.

 

[Blue Cheese]

If we don't bring in an alternative anyway

 

[davek]

Yes. And yes.

Surely.

10 and a half hours to make it happen. Unlikely, imo.

The ambition is there for all to see.

Fair enough.

Personally I want us to sign anyone who Koeman/Walsh want to sign. If they want to sign Sissoko then let's get him in. So far our signings have been impressive and it's clear between them we're in good hands. We may not be in for Sissoko but I'm not taking the word of Murdoch-owned, clickbait sensationalists with ulterior motives on that, just yet!
