We needs a good one though Mata would be my choice, but good ones are few and far between, Kone from Sunderland would have been a good edition too.

I struggle to believe we had anything that could have resembled a carefully calculated strategy
West Ham fans also think they won the world cup in 1966 mate and that they're a massive club...
just saying
but yes, we'll see.
As BACK-UP, on a no-risk LOAN deal, he's fine and provides better competition with Rom than Kone does.
by that logic, neither did Spurs

Yeah there'll definitely have to be a review of what went wrong. Did we chase targets too far above our current status for too long? Did all the talk of our rich new status and big transfer fund allow us to be used by agents for better deals. Why didn't any of our plan b and c options come off. Why leave complicated 3rd party owned deals until the last couple of days to resolve?
Up until the Arenal and West Ham defeats last season I really wanted it to work out for Martinez. But the fact is, two back to back bottom half finishes and no European Football has definitely been a factor in our failure to land the first choice targets, and this is something the board are going to have to consider going forward, and we may become far more brutal if managers aren't perfoming

The fire rises
How's that relevant to our fans attitudes and inability to sign anyone despite being supposedly loaded? The fans have been giving it the large one about we're gonna do this and that, the ITKs the same, all that's missing is taking out shirts off and punching a horse.

We spent 5 million more than we brought in on transfers alone
We also paid compo to Leicester Southampton and Bobby brown shoes
Barkleys wages went up, probably set some aside for new Lukaku deal, several youngsters got new deals
We did spend money just not in obvious ways

That's how you get rich
From what i'm lead to believe this is the type of signing that Koeman wanted.
He'll never kick up a fuss being second fiddle to Lukaku but will be an able deputy in his absence.
Seems to have lost his way since his injury, but no doubt theres a good player there. I'le certainly support the lad.

Not fallen into darkness at all, just contrasting the outcome versus the opportunity. The hardest thing in business is not closing deals it's getting into position to close deals and all the processes you need to go through to get to that position.
We were in position on so many deals this summer and failed to close them - that's the issue that needs addressing. I'll write more tomorrow about this.

We spent a whole lot less than Stones + Sky. Meet the new boss same as the old boss.
we needed more additions mate, but yes you are right (in the grand scheme)
It isn't an excuse for a poorly executed end of the window though.

Either you know what you are talking about and we have naive, incompetent fools running our transfer strategy or you know nothing and who cares what you think. Either way we are screwed.
