Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

Look, can't we all just agree that Dog Man Star is the best Suede album?

I preferred their eponymous debut myself.

Dog man star is the correct answer 

[saint13]

Dog Man Star without a doubt for me.

Using Ashley Young as a centre midfielder says it all.

We needed a holding mid and a number 10 at the start of the window. We have clearly bid for some. And not got any. And still need them. We are a mid table side without injuries. We are a struggling side with them.

Yup.  I don’t think we haven’t tried to get players that are so overwhelmingly, obviously needed.  I do think we’ve failed though, so far at least.  Why that is we probably won’t get to know.  It’s either money or ‘draw’ or both.

Seemed a Harry Redknapp esque tactic to look for investment tbh...if Hourihane and even Nakamba thought they didn't have much of a future with us pre-game surely that decision should hasten their departure.

Especially when you consider despite all the injuries the options we had. We could have played Marvellous, Hourihane or brought buendia in to the three. It certainly sends a message to the first two.

Unless it's sending a message to Purslow that we need another midfielder?

Any manager petty or clueless enough to sabotage a game like that would be fired on the spot, and I don't think Smith did that for one second.

Yep.

[mr underhill]

much more of today and Smith is going to come under scrutiny, I would think.

[Louzie0]

That would be a bit much, considering the players unavailable to him today.
If they can get a creative midfield enforcer ...

Well I do. So that's the two of us...

[Steve67]

I guess playing Chuck shows the owners and Purslow that he isn't ready to play more than half a dozen games at this stage of his career.  He's going to be great but needs to build steadily, same as JPB, Archer and any of the cup winners from last season.  We lack a heart beat type player, not sure who that player is but we lack something and I have us down as workmanlike rather than creative and ready to rip other teams apart.  Clearly Hourihane is surplus to requirements too.

Let’s hope the buying office are ‘preparing a bid’ for someone and that they ‘lodge’ it well before Tuesday evening.
