Still cant believe we didnt bring a CM in - we have our best chance of top 6 in years gutting.

Someone like Nzonzi or Can on loan for the rest of the season heck even paying the dough for Vecino would have really given us a boost.

Someone like Nzonzi in his prime would be ideal yeah, but not him now, the lad looks absolutely finished.

Would take a finished Nzonzi over a finished Delph or Siggurdsson mate!

He looks a decent player and he’s only 20, would deffo sign him before one of the other big boys snaps him up. He’s English so No doubt his price will inflate though

Fixed it.

I’d rather have none of them. Genuinely. And I think we’re very light in midfield as it is.

How often do you watch him? not a dig i just wondered how often players are called 'finished' and not watched week in week out.

When's the summer thread starting?

Just want to click like for the line about Niasse and Coco the Clown being taken around the back of Finch Farm and being put out of their misery.

I can’t believe how much of a let down today was. I had my mates around and we made an evening of it (or at least tried to!). We had beers and nibbles and everything.

Getting sick of this club.

I've said a few times I can live with a so so finish to this year if it means we will be ready to fire from day 1 next year. If by saving money now we can get guys in and get going next year I'm there for it. 7th means little to me.

Even if it gets us Europe

This is incredible.

Everton don't owe you signings. You got told at lunchtime we weren't signing anybody.

I might be wrong but I think he meant that tongue in cheek.

Surely no one could be that idiotic.

Signings give clubs a boost:

Utd have strengthened their attack and midfield

Sheffield Utd have strengthened their midfield

Spurs have strengthened

Palace (Tosun is gash but will suit their style over ours so may be of some use to them)

After that Newcastle result I became adamant that we needed 1-2 players even just to psychologically give the dressing room a boost/ lift.

People underestimate just how weak minded this squad of players is - the club have accepted with 14 games to go the seasons done so I have too - no point getting your expectations up when as soon as we get within a sniff of those European spots the players will bottle it and let you down again.

We also aint qualifying for Europe with this shambolic midfield & Walcott out wide.

Really
A failed Watford player who they got on loan from China after missing out on their 2 preferred choices

The incredible thing is you thought I was being serious.

How obvious do I have to make it ffs.

Good point mate, if we take the players who probably wont make the grade out of the mix eg. Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Delph and POSSIBLY Gbamin it doesn't leave a lot of choice........we need 2 new first team midfielders at least, more if Gbamins injury continues. I have stuck up for Davies on these pages but sadly it doesn't look like he is kicking on in the same way as Holgate and DCL.
