January Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

What a bunch of inbreds at Stoke! More fingers than a Captain Birdseye dinner party

Fuck me. I am slowly catching up. We have signed WHO? Dear me. We are done for.

Well David Pleat has just spoken highly of Dawkins on Five Live.

That's it - the straw that broke the camels back for me, time for a double brandy, a cigar and one final song before the ship goes down................

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

So, QPR sign a defender, Wigan sign a defender, Reading sign two defenders.  Aston Villa, with the worst defence in the league, sign no defenders.  Absolute criminal and deliberate sabotage if you ask me.

Anyone watching the games this season can see the defence is severely exposed by the extremely poor midfield.

Lerner has made mistakes, I find it hard to criticism him too much though. He's given us alot of his money.

Lambert spent horribly in the Summer.

I honestly can't believe some people still think this? Did I miss something? Did Lambert inherit a top half squad in the summer? Didn't we come 16th the season before?

We lost Petrov, Cuellar and Heskey, more or less swapped Collins for Vlaar, got shot of Hutton and Warnock to get replacements in on lower wages and all of this was on top of losing massive chunks of what remained of MON's side the season before. Lambert then only signs 8 players at an average of about £2.5m a signing to repair this massive hole in the quality of our squad and he's spent horribly has he? What were you expecting? To unearth every hidden gem across europe that no else has seen because I'd suggest you're living in dreamland if you thought that. Not to mention the fact that in all likelihood the combined wages for these players are probably a lot lower than you would expect for 8 Premier league players. El Ahmadi would be the one guy I would concede is not looking money well spent, but at about 2 million it's hardly an expensive mistake is it?

Tonight reminds me of the season under Venglos when we badly needed players and we ended up signing Gary Penrice.

The subject line needs to be amended to:

'January Transfer Thread: Absolute Cr@p'

To be fair, Dr. Jo kept us up fourth from bottom and 4 points clear of third bottom (two went down that year, obv). I'd take that.

At least they actually managed SOMETHING i suppose. Even if we did have to attack the sofa with a chainsaw to find the required amount.
