Transfer Window Thread

You've all inspired me to record an operatic cover of a song to sum up the reaction to Shaqiri. Thanks lads.

Said I'd do this - man of my word:

LYRICS:

It's silly season, yes it's transfer time,
in the papers, it's a pantomime.
On and on, does anybody know who we are signing yet?

Another player, another transfer dance,
he could go elsewhere, but to Stoke? No chance!
On and on, does anybody know who we are signing yet?

Sign someone Everton,
Sign someone Everton.
The transfer window's breaking,
we're out of time,
to shape our final destiny.

Sign someone Everton,
Sign someone Everton.
Missing out on that Shaqiri,
not to mention West Ham's Payet,
who will start the season...

Oh crap, Leon Osman,
Oh crap, Leon Osman.
I've lost the will, FFS Bill,
right now I'd settle for that...
I'd settle for,
settle for,
settle for Jo.
 
There really isn't any point in fuming until the window is closed. Yes we should've had this sorted earlier and maybe we were interested in Shaqiri (though no one knows for sure) but if we pull off a brilliant signing and required CB and CF back ups before the end of the window there will be a lot of people looking very silly.
And vice versa. Personally I hope I hope I look silly but so far seeing Payet play yesterday and I fully expect Shaqiri to be a star I don't think I will be.

We might get someone in but I seriously doubt someone better than either of those two.

Good God.
Tubey's finally cracked.
 
  1. Hibbert - Shouldn't even br near the first team squad anymore.
  2. Baines - Out for 3 months
  3. Stones - About to possibly move
  4. Jagielka
  5. Oviedo - Still not 100%
  6. Coleman
  7. Browning
  8. Galloway - Gaining experience at left back though is thought to be a centre back long term.
We are criminally short of players at the back, never mind anywhere else. 1 more injury and we are pushed to the limit and relying on playing players out of position or players from the U21's in some pretty big upcoming fixtures.
 
I think it's a touch naive to just assume the reason we haven't signed Shaqiri is that we didn't have the money or that he wanted to go to Stoke over us.

They are both possibilities, but I think the more likely scenario is that we were unsure on him as Inter have been so eager to get rid, didn't want to risk spending a big amount on him, so Inter have jumped at accepting the Stoke bid. Doesn't mean that we don't have the money to spend on him.

As so many on here have said, Shaqiri isn't the only player in the world, and all the evidence points to him being a bit of a bell. Just wait it out and fume in September if we haven't signed anyone then.

I get what you're saying but I don't understand the freak out here until the window has actually closed.
