My ITK tells me our two stellar signings are being kept under wraps so that they can be photographed with our new owners in the morning.

Is the Canales one dead then?
Dead in the water


To weaken the squad by letting players go before replacing is fucking moronic by Lambert. Canales was clearly a non starter, why on Earth did they go for such unrealistic targets?

With the caveat that it might not be true...

If the issue with TC is him trying to move us up from £60k a week he can fuck off. For 80k pw you can get a player that isn't a gamble.

Personally i'd have kept KEA until we had a deal or two done. It does leave us a little short in the middle unless we do a late deal for someone like Palacios with someone like Sinclair coming in as well.

Tom Cleverley is the worst idea since Stephen Ireland.

To make it appear as if they were trying to spend, when in truth they were never going to.

Is what I'd think if I was cynical.

He is not worth £60K a week but is Tooney worth £300K a week? A stupid world this is.

I would happily take Sinclair, he would be a good addition.

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.

Not much creativity there

An outright purchase yes. Not a fan of loans.

Why? Everyone else is doing it. We should take advantage of the system that exists.
