Listening to WM before the game last night and Gary Thompson said that generally if you signing players on transfer deadline day then you are desperate (which we are) and the players are the dreggs that no one else wants!

I would imagine Dendoncker will be ours by the end of the day

I'm resigned to us going down. I don't see us turning it round, we are a total shambles at the moment and so easy to score against.

I doubt many players are queuing up to join this shit show at the moment, we are probably finding it difficult to secure targets. I am not expecting much today and feck knows what we do then.

This is rather underwhelming, is a Wolves reserve in Dendonker really going to help us? What is going on? We’e into the last day and the one player seemingly put forward by our recruitment team nearly went through until Gerrard got involved. He’s running the show now, this is very much like the MON years but without a bit of fun along the way.

The owners can see what we can, that the guy needs to go, they will have to have a big kitty for any new manager.




Don't agree with this. Firstly, they would have acted and secondly we have a DOF so the signings should be irrelevant no matter the manager. They cocked up big time, aa I said before I saw straight through these from last summer. Everyone makes mistakes, the right thing to do is to either back the manager today 4 £30 million signings today (2 central defenders and 2 central midfielders) or publicly state that the ambitions have been reevaluate and staying up is now a priority due to b their neglect.

They will do neither of course, its much easier to the let the manager take the flack, just look at the response on here if one or two dare question them but the above is exactly what needs to happen.

We've got blood out of a stone for too long now (mings, Watkins, cash, konsa, ramsey, mcginn - all championship players) they just can't give anymore while the quality around us in the league is just increasing. They should have acted sooner snd they didn't..... distinct lack of knowledge in running a football club.

Sarr made sense. Pacey, direct, exciting, could genuinely play in a different way. Moura... Not sure. Might please the next manager thigh.

Moura is the option if Spurs bring in Dan James from Leeds.
Leeds want to sign Cody Gakpro as replacement
Chelsea players are option for us once they do a bit of business
All loans there though for Moura or any Chelsea players.

I haven't got any contacts in Chelsea, but I have the number for a gak pro in Battersea. Lovely bloke, in a scary way.

Belgian International right? They've been the beat team in the world on paper not grass for the last decade.

Belgium or Wolves?

What a truly depressing window.

ONE new player om the pitch from last season and the club expect us to be pushing for Europe?

It's a complete mess

I was so optimistic in the summer.

I am a bit shell shocked at hot it all went to shit when Gerrard changed the captain.

So with Wolves signing Dawson (£5.2m seems a very decent deal) and West Ham signing Bednarek, where is our mythical centre half going to appear from?

We are fucked aren't we. We really are. After all the hard work, this chancer has bollocksed up good and proper. The next manager is going to have some job on.
