As an aside did collymore ever elaborate on his chocolate finger claims? I assumed it had something to do with the forcing of a snickers down his hog's eye with a camping mallet.

Why is it worrying that we have not spent wedge full of cash? We have signed 4 players that's about as many as any team should sign in a TW.

Not when you've had a season as bad as we've just had.
Yes that's a fair point but signing too many players in a single window never works.

That's a fair point, but I'd suggest that four is not exactly "too many", especially when one is incapable of running for more than 20 minutes and fashioned of crystal.

We've basically got rid of all the players PL has bought over the last two seasons....

Steer
Luna
Bennett
Lowton
El Ahmadi
Helenius
Tonev
Bowery

I doubt a turnover like that has happened so quickly under the same manager...

Also when we have released a regular from last season too, all be it he was not the best to grace B6.

And Bennett and Gardner have gone out on loan. As has Tonev.

Actually, the headcount is unchanged.

KEA, Gardner, Bennett, Tonev out.
Cole, Senderos, Richardson, Sanchez in.

Pat Murphy just saying that TC23 is after £80k a week; hence the stand-off.

You forgot Sylla. But also Benteke, Bacuna & Kozak.

Crikey, that's about 5 million pound outlay and returns. Sometimes a punt on lower league players does not quite come off.

Jesus Christ, I would imagine our offer would be so much lower than that there wouldn't be any requirement to talk further.

We need another body in midfield

I think we're fine in terms of numbers. Sanchez, Delph, Westwood, Richardson, Joe Cole and in an injury crisis Herd and Clark have experience of the holding position.

Canales would've been an exciting option though and I'd like to think we can find a decent wide player on loan at the 11th hour but not hopeful now I have to admit.

I suppose so, I hope that's not what Learner and Lambert are also thinking though,
