An obvious lack of creativity and flair last night, barry and mccarthy are both boss but when we've lost barkley and pienaar it shows. Barkley is great at carrying the ball and taking pressure off us but mirallas didnt seem as effective.
Could do with a versatile midfielder !

Leon Osman?

Squad has gone from creaking to snapping, too thirds of the way through the transfer window and we,s spent about a couple of mill if that on transfer fees.

The table says we have a great a channce of 4th however in reality we are going up against bigger squads for the 4th place.

Bobby has been brave but he might want to firewall himself if the window slips by and we slip out of contention for the 4th spot.

I know you are a good blue, but you can't resist the opportunity of making a crisis out of a situation to attack the board can you?

Why not wait until the end of the window before you need to go into such amateur dramatics?

Personally i don't think there will be money available in the summer but i hope i am wrong on that front.

We need to secure our transfers this week as a matter of urgency. There is nothing better than signing someone new and bringing them in for the F.A cup game to raise excitment for the season. Traore may be injured but there are more players to come in so sooner the better.

I honestly think that we will buy someone else this window. Martinez has said he needs a central midfielder and last night shown that he does. If we cannot loan any more then we will be buying him, but who we will buy i havent got a clue.

Oh and people calling for Defour, i hope i am not standing corrected but there is a reason why noone wants him. He is a midfielder that isnt first choice for Porto, was bought for buttons and in the scheme of things will be sold for buttons as well. He can't be that good if that is the case! Mounthino went for a hell of a lot more because he was a better player, so Defour will prob be an average midfielder when what we need is a good-great one.

Sod it lets sign Ofoe.

Thing with Defour mate is he has fernando and Lucho Gonzalez ahead of him at Porto, both of those two would be good enough to walk into our starting line up as well, and someone who a few years ago fetched 20m from lyon, fernando would fetch a similar fee under a healthy contract, defours just been unlucky that he has been constantly battling against top top players for game time - Fernando is a beast and Lucho is a huge fan favorite at porto, given a chance he would surprise a lot of us just how good he is, he is a hell of a lot better than average thats for certain

Probably bollocks but just seen on twitter that were in for Canales. Now that would be a great signing

He's the kid that chipped the keeper (playing for Blbao I think) the week after he saw pienaar do it for us, he then moved to Real for big bucks at he end of the season, not sure where he's been since.

Setting the bar a bit low here. Better than Osman could still be poor, unless its a lot better, or more betterer even.

the point being though until we got a new midfielder in then the more game time that osman gets, dont mean to sound harsh on osman here but IMO he's well past his sell by date and its starting to cost us - last nights performance and his 'backpass' which led to Tim getting sent off v sunderland spring to mind

At Valencia now i think. Never quite lived up to the hype.

Big reason for that mate was he did his cruciate missed 6 months, came back did it again less than a month later and spent another 7 months out, so basically missed 13 months out of 14 with 2 cruciate knee injuries like, missed the latter half of 2011 and all 2012 with them like, been working his way back now and seems healthy and starts i think for valencia now

Lads still only 22 though so to come back from two injuries that bad and get back to playing for a team as good as Valencia shows a lot about his character, was a top little player like before those knees went, dunno about him now like

This is it.

If these carpet baggers are thinking about getting money in rather than overseeing a small net spend then they need chasing. It'lll be an incredible stab in the back for supporters hoping the manager can get the bit of resources he needs to finish this job off.
 
The team really needed a true number 10 last night, though you can say that pretty much any time Barkley isn't on the pitch. We can't radically alter the way we play when one player is off the pitch, it's a weakness in the squad.

Can't see Tom Ince staying at Blackpool now they've sacked his dad Paul as manager. Monaco or Everton for Tom now

Is his Dad his agent or a representative? Probably go to Monaco just to get a wedge of cash will Paul.
