Bacuna is contracted until 2020. He's going nowhere

Shall we just wrap this thread up now and save ourselves the disappointment?

You don't think that anybody will be sold and you think that nobody will be brought in?

I think that's unlikely.

Something that has to be considered. Do you sell one of the better players (at a loss) and then use that to pay the poorer player on high wages or in other words, pour money down the drain or do use the equivalent money to get rid of the poorer player and keep the better player who might give you the chance of being promoted.

Football is not like business in general where you cut costs to survive until, say, a recession ends. With football you still have to compete or you will sink further.

Anyone worth any money gone, anyone past it/never had it/cheap gamble in.

This summer summed up to save us the heart ache and hassle.

Stoke like taking our out of favour high earning players, people were saying Given and Ireland would be here until their contracts ran out.

Weren't Sunderland in for Richards on the last day of the window?

Troy Deeley was on £40k a week in the Championship, and the goalie.

Deeney and Gomes? Where do people get these figures from?

From the player when asked why he hadn't moved to the PL.

Maybe later. As a Diddy League club, won't we still be able to loan players for a while after the deadline has closed?

I can't wait to see what players we manage to dig up with no money. We can't find a bucket to piss in with £50m to spend so with 50p we haven't a chance with these lot in charge.

In years to come, the Grant Holt Era will be regarded as a hallowed Golden Age.

Yet on another thread Randy has spent too much. Which is it?

He didn't want to move to the Premier League because two Watford players were supposedly on £40,000 a week in the Championship?

It would really piss me off if Benteke signs for someone like West Ham next year.

What ever possessed us to give him a new contract. Absolute madness.
