And if likely does the same mate we wont do f all either, can't discount for a player whilst analysing us against them.

I detest the way my generation is with football, no love of the game at all, no passion and no singing
Just want to measure their net spends and compare it with their badly virgin mates and go on jarg protests to express their anger at never seeing a lady naked in real life
I bet you all have them badly bang on quiffs

Bit of a damp squib this
Yes, still trying to get it done, but its looking very, very unlikely now.
I don't think until we are top six that it is going to be easy to get who we want, when we want them. Spurs are currently a more attractive proposition for a player who would prefer London to Southport and play CL football. They are not supporters and want the cash and glamour. It will take time. Martinez shattered the respectability Moyes had built and our new set up will have to rebuild that over more than three games. We are still stronger than we were before this window.

Witsel though. Going to be boss next to Gueye. Roll on Sunderland
Agree mate, we used to slate Kenwright to death on transfer days, so Moshiri has to take the flak as well.
Worst thing about today is that it fuels the doom-merchants and gives them an "I told you so mandate".
In reality, it's clear that we've tried and failed to spend a shed load of money. Even if we'd just signed Sissoko, who seemingly royally screwed us over - we'd have had a £30m positive spend and people would be feeling a bit different about things.
I'm not going to pretend I'm not disappointed. My hopes were raised massively by the names we have been linked with - with seemingly concrete evidence that we were genuinely "in" for a a lot of them. But my overriding feeling is that we over-reached and aimed to high given where Martinez had left us, and we left it too late to then fall back on "plan b" targets.
I do partly wonder if the start we've had to the season has also changed things. Holgate and Stekelenberg have emerged as very capable players in the first team - when we've spend all summer thinking we need to address RB and GK. Mirallas looks like a man possessed, leaner and fitter and full of energy - playing Koeman's pressing game perfectly.
Valencia is a slight upgrade on Kone and Niasse - who knows what sort of tune Koeman might be able to get out of him. He made Shane Long look like a world beater last season when we all know deep down he's bang average.
The big question is what happens in January. First priority is a change in approach - we need to do business early, and we need to not let Kenwright anywhere near any of it.
Secondly, we need to be realistic and chase targets who will improve but who aren't way out of our reach. A lot of that will depend on where we are in the league come 1st Jan. I'd give Koeman every chance of having us top 7 at that point - in which case we look a genuine proposition - particularly if we have stadium news by then.
Anyway. Crap day. Really crap. But not the end of the world.

I totally agree, just needed that one player to just show our statement, the problem is I don't think he ( whoever it maybe) was available and Sisokko wasn't really the answer.

We are not loaded though. It's a myth invented by a few Blues and it's got out of control.
Stoke have more money than us ffs.
