Oh my good god- reading through this some of the comments were pretty laughable! The two signings were going to be a conspiracy? It was all so the vote on Kirkby would be yes??!! HAHAHA!!!
The fact he trained with the club all week- was a guest at the game on Saturday, a fee had been agreed and moyes himself commented on the OS that he was going to sign.
Fernandes is going to be a top player, I have no doubt about that. But at the end of the day he is a complete wankface, he led us up the garden path and decided at the last minute to sign for someone else. He has put our season in jeopardy as we now only have 3 days to sign a replacment.
The club sorted out the issues with the FA and even sorted the transfer for 100% of the player- it was Fernandes that decided he wanted to join a 'bigger club'. Remember when we almost signed Sissoko- until he decided he wanted to join a 'bigger club'?! Players are mercenarys, I have absolutely no doubt in mind where the blame lies for this- a 21 year old prick called Manuel Fernandes- if any of you dont believe that they you are extremley naiive.
Now this shipped has sailed we need to look at someone else who will adjust to the premiership. So that means either signing someone from the prem or someone who has the qualities to succeed in this league. Whoever mentioned Essien is absolutely delluded- this is a player in the £30m+ bracket- way out of our league. Gamst is going to take a £20m+ bid to take him- again out of our league.
My personal choice would be Appiah- I think he is rugged enough to handle the battle but silky enough to give us what we need. If we can get him for around the £5m mark we will still have a bit of money in the bank ready for January if we need any extra cover.
