hypochondriac

Good point. I don't see how anyone sane can complain. It's not like we've been playing sparkling stuff recently.

Currently we are rubbish and we miss easy chances. If we revert to hoof ball and it keeps us up then I don't see how anyone can complain.

I expect there's a whole host of reasons, some of which are the fault of the club and some that aren't.

Would anyone else have said any different? I'd have said that was incredibly obvious.

If we do get these two in and miraculous stay up, I'd expect us to be comfortable mid table next year. Fingers crossed.

He said himself his work was done in terms of affirmation. He will deservedly get the credit when he starts winning in the league and we get out of the relegation zone. I look forward to it.

Absolutely nothing to do with Nathan Jones but sports Republic will absolutely deserve some kudos.

In fairness, I imagine some people would prefer to comment when the deals are actually done for obvious reasons.

Cautiously I would agree. It's a real shame we couldn't have got either in earlier in the window but IF (big if) we have got them both then that represents good business and a genuine attempt by the club to stave off relegation.

Zapata seems achievable and the kind of player I thought we would go for. At least if we do get him we are actually getting a striker and will try something different this season.

Seems very quick but with little end product and doesn't score. I think whether this is decent business or not will largely depend on if we actually get a striker through the door who he can provide chances for or complement.

Hell of a lot of money. I hope he's good.

Place your bets now. My prediction is Sulemana and no one else which is better than where we were yesterday, but probably not enough to avoid relegation.

Good lad x

More likely to top themselves than sign for a football club at that point.

Vitinha always seemed like a bit of a pipe dream at this point. Hoping we can get a striker in to give us a chance.

That's what I was hoping for.

I've been working this morning. What's the latest on the targets? Have we lost them all yet or is there hope?

Genuinely don't know why he would come here over Everton if that's the case.

You'd be better off not logging in at all.

If we get to the end of the day and we've failed in another window then clearly there's something wrong with either our negotiation team or our targets are too ambitious. One of both need to change if we are to have any success getting promoted.

Wasn't there a stat a little while ago about how we pay the lowest amoibt in agents fees in the prem?

I've got no idea what Orisic is like but I do know what Mara is like and every person knows that he was a squad signing signed as one for the future to add to the squad. In no way was it acceptable to sign him in the summer and pretend that that was sufficient. He wasn't signed as a startibg forward for the team.

OK mate I'll leave you to it applauding the club for their excellent January window. Maybe you can give them another 9 or 10 whilst we get relegated. Clown world.

You were full of it last summer criticising posters for being unhappy about the lack of attacking signings. It now looks like it's going to the primary reason that we get relegated and you're still piping up with cute little analogies. Ive already said my expectations are low, I don't give a toss who we are linked with on twitter. All I know is we still haven't made an attacking signing and I don't have much confidence that we will sign someone beyond someone like Ayew.
