Ultimately of your house was up for sale you wouldn't spend £10,000 on a new kitchen would you? I just hope we can survive until we are sold.

I spent a bit more than that and put my house up for sale!

Your not Randolph Lerner though...

Are you sure? Has anyone ever seen Malandro and Randy Lerner is the same room? I think not.

Difficult to disagree Ads, instead of constantly buying bad left backs he should have bought another striker and a no.10 in.

I'll be a tad disappointed if that's it for this window.

You'd be odds on to win the Understatement of the Year award for saying that.

I'm hoping its bullshit. God help us going into the final part of the season with this squad.

I'd be extremely disappointed.

It'd be like Lerner and Lambert had had their eyes closed for the whole season up till now.

This squad is more than capable of finishing somehwere between 12th and 8th.

We have a really strong spine with a 20 goal a season striker at the top of it. The reason we're struggling is down to Lambert.

Yeah, when you compare it to most teams in the bottom half our squad is strong enough to be competitive or at least strong enough to create some chances in a game. No coaching is our biggest problem, we all know that though.

Compared with his first January, when we looked very much like going down and only added Dawkins, who never played, and an unknown from the French second division in Sylla, this window has been a lot better.

Lambert seemed his usual happy self in the conference and managed to suck any optimism or enthusiasm out of the room by the looks of it. Would love to know whether they are backing him or not. Ultimately of your house was up for sale you wouldn't spend £10,000 on a new kitchen would you? I just hope we can survive until we are sold.

Even if it was a ploy to get Citeh to lower the price, or just Lambert keeping his cards close to his chest, I have to say that the 30 or so seconds of that press conference that they showed on SSN were 30 of the most depressing seconds of my life.

would it not be better/easier for Milner to just have his own dedicated thread?
I've never quite understood the adoration that Milner commands, a player who has broken his contract at every club up to now as opposed to Barry who was a loyal servant of our club but always gets a dogs abuse every time he returns

Putting in 3 transfer requests, talking to Liverpool about a transfer whilst still under contract, dragging the club through the gutter press crying about how he wanted to go to Liverpool, lying that the club hadn't spoken to him about a new deal, coming on here or someone very close to him crying about his kids schooling, and never once putting in a transfer request. Loyal servant? Fucking wanker.

I think they are actively trying to take the fucking piss. Lambert is rock solid but bollocks to backing him with forwards. As for Lambert what about plan b??  Just more shitty news. Fucking farcical club.

We need more this window. We clearly need a winger.

Depends if the kitchen is putting off would-be buyers ...

He doesn't believe in them. Alan Hutton can do everything up and down the wing!

Agree. I've always found putting in good kitchens and bathrooms helps you achieve best price and also faster sale. Anyway wandering off topic
