Long has been mentioned as a potential decent signing for the last couple of transfer windows yet now he's a poor signing? Seems strange. Ignoring the excessive fee, he's a good player at this level, the sort of striker we could have done with at times last season. Would definitely take him even for £10 million

Pelle's record is very poor elsewhere too. I'm not going to judge him as I've never seen him play, but I'm very concerned by his lack of games and goals pre-Feyernoord. Still, we have to trust Roko's judgement that he is good enough

Maybe he's just trying to dampen expectations? Say 1-2 are coming but then sign 3-4

Maybe he's saying it to fire up Boruc to be more competitive? Don't see the problem, surely Artur would know a £10 million goalkeeper is likely to come as first choice?

People will moan, but its the same for other clubs. I think we will be trying to bring in new recruits up until the final minutes of the window.

All I will say is they are still very, very interested.

We all know the club need another 4/5 players, but it's simply not going to happen. The Schneiderlin situation will also go on for a couple of weeks until Arsenal weigh in with a £25 million deadline day bid

It's become quite clear all of our business won't be done by next weekend. Have a feeling Gardos will be a done deal but that's about it

It's a step down for all of them. Bony will only move to a bigger club, we're a sideways move. Hernandez will still want to play at the top even if it's on the bench, and Remy will only go to whoever wants to pay ridiculous wages

None of Hernandez, Bony or Remy would ever come to us, we are wasting our time. Ings should be the number one target as it's realistic and we've had success buying Championship (now premier league) players.

You'd think if we really want him and he has supposedly passed a medical, that this could be tied up in the next couple of days. Rojo is clearly a no go so Gardos might be our only option. A Romanian I work with thinks he is good enough to play for a top four side, sounds promising

If Yoshida is anywhere near the first 11 we will be in deep trouble

Any comments from Ronald after the game? We're still desperately short, need another 4/5. Said at the end of the season we'd need 8/9 signings and that's proving to be the case. Forster looks certain, as well as Gardos. Can see Les still ****ing about trying to sort deals on deadline day. Would be surprised if we're not bottom of the league by then.

Line up still shows how we're lacking squad depth. Still need Forster, 2 defenders (Gardos, VDV) striker (Ings) and a wide player (Redmond)

He's off to United now, so that's that sorted. Waste of time, hopefully Gardos will definitely be coming in now

Koeman said after the Brighton game 2/3 in by the weekend. Since then only one arrival, Taider. Maybe even RoKo isn't ITK?

Good news, I see no reason why Artur won't stay, I think he will be keen to compete for the no.1 shirt. Not seen a lot of Forster, but remember a game against Barca where he made several top drawer saves. Boruc is a good keeper, but has his flaws

We knew other clubs were going to try and screw us over with fees, as we have done ourselves. Just need to accept it, and hurry up and push the move through

Yes, probably a good idea to start discussing formations for a squad including 5 players that don't play for us

Ings would be great, was my first choice for Lambert replacement. Just have to hope someones getting it sorted whilst Les is out wasting too much time and not spending enough money in Portugal

At least Ralph is aware it has been a 'summer of pain'. He's still mainly full of ****, but at least he recognises how bad it has been for the fans

Everything's got rather quiet since the supposed signings at the weekend which never happened. I can understand it takes time, but don't think we have a chance of getting our business done by next weekend. We know about Taider and Forster looks likely, but it's the positions where we actually need reinforcements that I'm worried about

JWP and Scheiderlin should not be mentioned when discussing goals. Fonte and Yoshida are capable of scoring more combined than those 2. Pelle is going to need to be firing, but the jury's still out. We really need someone capable of scoring from distance

Francis saying he wished Lambert would have taken the penalty, hasn't he already had one and missed?I would really like to see him do well at another club. Just not Liverpool. Or Spurs.

Only from the paper talk section on sky sports which mentions Osvaldo will end his stay, but we won't make back our money. Another snippet saying Taider will sign today in a seperate deal. Don't know what papers they are from, but hopefully some truth in it
