Nothing has changed.

[Gwladys Nights]

We just need some pace. Up front or on the wing but pace please.

 

[Blues Harp]

Well, well, well another day gone... another day closer to our first game... and another day with no sign of any movement on Sigurdsson or the merest hint of a replacement for Lukaku.

Would anyone who believes the current lack of activity is not the direct consequence of Barkely (and McCarthy) not being sold, or that the sale of Lukaku (plus Cleverley, Deulofeu and McGeady), was nothing to do with all the initial incomings, please care to explain their blind indifference to the obvious truth?

We still sell to buy.

And right now, we still have some buying to do.

Just where are the goals going to come from in two days' time and beyond?

If we have the cash, why are we not spending it, with our first league game two days away?

Those who still insist that we have money to burn are as deluded as those hailing Rooney's second coming as our long-awaited messiah.

Both are missing are missing the bleedin' obvious: we continue to operate a prudent transfer policy (which I respect) and it will not be a triumphant return for the prodigal son.

Beginning to question Koeman's judgment now. How on earth does he expect the team to improve, having sold our 20 goals a season best player, with no sign of any urgency to find a replacement?

Buying lots of very similar midfielders it seems...

Bless....

The fact that we haven't replaced Lukaku and our wantaway best assist option by the start of the season is pretty naff to be fair.

.....and our wantaway best assist option by the start of the season is pretty naff to be fair.

if you want us to improve, we need a more consistent and wantastay best assist option - hence the 700+ pages on Siggurdson. If you genuinely don't believe the club have been trying to do this business for months, then there is no hope for you.

We can all roll our eyes and pretend that we have been making false bids etc, but it is likely that Swansea have been resisting with everything they have, as he is their best player by a country mile.

As for a striker, I don't know the answer, but the RS finished top 4 without a big target man last season. It can be done, but we probably need to add pace on the break to achieve that.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that all teams need a big target man mate, just that the system we seem to want to employ needs one. Liverpool finished in the top 4 because their team was frighteningly quick and direct. If we brought Leon Osman into our front 4 he'd be our fastest player.

I'm not doubting that Barkley isn't the answer, but I'm extremely frustrated that we yet again enter the season under cooked. And yes Swansea are doing what we have done well in the past in holding out, but if we really want to dine at the top table there needs to be a more decisive element to our negotiations.
Just opinions not getting the bed wet or owt

Back in 7th place. Again. It's the same old story.

Can't really argue with the opening post. A year on and and it's still stands up.

Very much so.

Another below par window.
