Biggest spenders according to the BBC -

Us : £59m
Newcastle : £57m
Norwich : £10.5m

That's quite a jump from second to third.

And last I saw, Newcastle were in profit on transfers.

Both Norwich & particularly Newcastle spent a fortune in January, whilst we didn't. I'm not overly concerned on our net spend,  the players now need to deliver. I'm confident they will.

You have to admire Xia for putting his money where his mouth is and the club for clearing out the bulk of the deadwood and wasters.  We seem to have gone heavy on attackers and I still think we are a little light in midfield and centre back, but we should be seeing plenty of goals, possibly at both ends.   I'm also still not convinced by our GK options.  Does anyone know if the Adama/Adomah thing was a straight swap or what fees were involved?

With another £30m to come for Sissoko

The new owner has certainly backed the new management team and purchased the type of players to get us out of this league as soon as possible. With practically a new team, it is obvious it will take time for the team to gel, but with this squad we need fear no other team in the league. UTV

Given we were discussing mccormack's position this article may be of interest. I did wonder why he wasn't getting picked for a very average Scotland squad

Arguably the best player in the championship for the last four years but Warnock doesn't know where to play him? Says a lot more about Neil than it does about Ross.

15 out and 8 in is some turnover.  Fingers crossed!

If we can get past midnight without Ayew leaving, and him having the right attitude now on in,  that will be the best businees of the window as I was convinced he'd be off. He's the best player in the division when on song.

Watch the bugger leave now....

Best player in the division? He isnt evern the best striker at the club

Nor is he the best drummer in the Beatles.

It is a bit odd - it's not like the no 10 role is that unusual! Perhaps it's that he doesn't really give you any of the benefits you might normally get - of someone who can make up that third central midfielder?

So the only role I could give him really was in the hole like a number 10 behind the striker.

Don't know if it's been posted before but I think Keith Wyness deserves a lot of credit not only in doing the work to get the players in but especially in getting rid of certain individuals.

At some point this season we are going to whip someone 6-0 and I can't bloody wait.
