Don't start with Winky.

I read this morning the club aren't anticipating any big transfers in before the end of the window.

Doesn't quite say that though

I think we’ll get a defender in, on the relative cheap and maybe a midfielder (hopefully a straight to first team quality one).

We will then pick up the odd win (either Leicester or Southampton) get knocked out the cup/s before finally sacking Gerrard just before the World Cup.

England will beat all the teams they should easily beat and lose to the first decent quality opposition. We will recruit Poch (don’t be daft it’ll be Rodgers) and finish mid table.

Maybe saving their money for the new manager?

That is a very risky strategy.

[Richard E]

If they didn’t trust him with any more transfer funds they’d sack him, surely?

Perhaps not, though neither was it in any way optimistic.

You’d think so.

You’d think so.

The club appear to be in this limbo where the manager is under pressure but under no immediate threat of being canned, where we're ambitious but are perfectly happy with the squad, where our captain is our worst player, where we're sending half the squad on loan but won't commit to incomings and where the fans are screaming for change but almost every pundit thinks the manager is deserving of plenty of time.

And we're also running a bomb squad.

Which appears to be a perfectly sane approach.

About right ^.
Think we will only sign a Bednarek on loan or similar.
