The biggest victims of the shit transfer window are Sky Sports. Clearly Jim White as the writing on the wall and got out
+ Dan Bardeall and his transfer show

Has anybody actually signed anybody in this transfer window ?
B Munich signed a donkey

Dier? Born as a pantomime horse. The back-end of one.

Bournemouth or Brentford signed that young Icelandic keeper we were briefly linked with.

Odd to think that we think it's been a virtually dead window for us, yet we've spend more than all but three clubs.

Something needs to be done with Diaby he’s clearly not happy at the moment and his performances are dire
It’s quite sad to watch him struggle away and I don’t think giving him full matches when he is playing so badly is doing him any good at the moment
I get the feeling it might be a head thing rather than a feet thing but he’s a waste of a player on the pitch right now he really is struggling badly

For the money spent he's been awful , looks very lightweight , can't retain possession , just a speed merchant really and we don't use his speed . Tough one now as he's cost so much money

Bit harsh. At the beginning of the season he was brilliant and looked a class above the majority of our players. Pundits raving about him etc. he’s been in a proper rut for 2-3 months now but I don’t believe what we’re seeing now is his status quo.

I know Diaby is struggling at the moment, but 4 goals and 4 assists in 21 league appearances doesn't suggest 'awful' to me.

He started off OK but has been rubbish for weeks.

Baileys purple patch covered it over somewhat - but zanilio and Diaby (bar the first couple months) have been really disappointing

We can probably get away with one forward misfiring but when we have two you really notice it. Watkins could do with a goal or two on Tuesday. Diaby? I really don't know what to think of him. It's certainly not lack of effort.

It was painful watching him last night.
He is obviously not right, I feel sorry for him. Emery is obviously trying to play him in to form. Not working right now though.

The positive thing is that we already have empirical evidence that he's capable of better, so it's worth persevering.

I haven’t seen much evidence of this and not enough to justify his fee.

You've not seen evidence of him playing better for us than he is at the moment?

Mis read the post.
But I don’t think he has played brilliantly for us.
