Ok...may be I should have used the term "built like a shit house" rather than powerful.

Can we have a "leave it alone" option?

As it's turned out, i've gone from not wanting him to thinking someone like Adebayor for a year would be good for us. A bit like Regis was useful for a year back in 91/92.
We need some sort of proven goal scorer and experience particularly if Gabby is on his way out

Judging is what we do on the internet though, it don't hurt anyone, we all do it we get some right and some badly wrong


If you hold judgement on a player Untill the end of the season you arnt speculating or offering an opinion you are stateing the obvious, anyone can do that,

It's the same as people who say 'give him a chance' it's the bloody internet it doesn't really count, as long as they receive the full support on the pitch what Nigel from St. Albans says on a football forum means nothing

Unless they read it of course, then they might have feelings,
in which case I take full responsibility for the rubbish performances of NRC and N'zog because I don't think I've ever written anything good about them ever

So it's your fault Gabby is shite then.

I did actually write something good about him once or twice, I think it was when he kept popping up and scoring against our friendly neighbours

Satisfied enough, but would like a bit more. Already we won't be in our usual 15th-17th position as it stands, but if we bring in a couple more I think it will be a comfortable 10th or 11th.

Almost. Competition at right back and a top class forward, proven in the premiership would round off a seemingly unbelievable transfer window. If we can't have that, I'll be happy with any further signings, if they improve quality-wise. And if no further business, the yes satisfied overall, given our circumstances a month back.

Just edited to add, that if we do get a couple more in, then hopefully we can ship a couple more squad players out who were unlikely to feature.

One think that worries me is that we've blown the budget on a lot of untried foreign players. Although where the club was at the end of last season I don't see we have much of a choice... especially when it looks like John Stones will go for around £30M.

Haven't we only spent about £6m in real money though?

Real money? We've used Bitcoin. It's the way to go for transfers.
It's silly money, any way you look at it!

Can't even use the term 'Monopoly Money' these days, it's worth less.
