The overreaction from some people on here to posters expressing disappointment that we didn't bring a RB in is far more annoying than posters supposedly going into "meltdown." There's a huge difference between masses of panic buys, shouting for giant spending and there quite rightly being an expectation that we would as a minimum strengthen in an area that we were already very weak in before Soares left. I think most people would have been satisfied with a decent RB and nothing else because it's a real gamble between now and the end of the season. Stating that isn't being a bedwetter or hugely unreasonable.

Why does signing a player in january make them rushed and last minute? We knew the likely situation weeks ago.

A strong yet mobile striker would be nice. We haven't had that since Pelle left.

...and you have a shady and cr*p owner.

We will need: CB RB winger striker Playmaker we probably won't get half of them.

As long as Ralph is encouraged by the club PR team to say he is happy with the squad despite saying we would definitely get a signing in, then that's good enough for me.

Crud. I was hoping we could keep the trophy by now.

Is it another season with the net spend trophy or have spurs snatched it from us?

Cabbage face trolls at a much higher level than others.

Pathetic to be honest but entirely predictable. I don't trust that Ralph was really happy with no signings, particularly because a couple of weeks ago he said we would definitely get at least one in. I'm concerned for our future with this shady owner in charge who makes zero investment.

It's deppo. It's obviously not true.

Can someone start a Jan koller rumour?

Mess.

And if not we can always say saints were playing the long game abd aiming for next January. Think of all the wages we will be saving by waiting till then to replace Hoedt, Gabbiadini and Soares.

Why do you dislike saints so much that your happy to risk relegation and are satisfied with mediocrity?

Do you remember those rumours about promes definitely signing in the summer? That worked out well...

That maybe so but he absolutely has a point about this window. At least next January we can be absolutely sure that we won't be bringing more than one signing in and possibly none regardless of our situation. It's still disappointing though to see the limits of our ambition even if it was expected.

So in your mind no one is allowed to be a bit disappointed that we failed to bring anyone in during the window despite still being close to the relegation zone?

Indeed. If you thought that was an awful performance then you haven't been watching for the last two years. Spurs away under pellegrino for instance where we gave up before half time and walked around the pitch during the second half was an awful performance.

It's not worth explaining if you can't figure it out.

That's retarded thinking.

It just highlights how far we have fallen that people are suddenly OK with our youth team players becoming first choice. I want them to get chances but not be thrust into virtually our only option.

Ralph's popped in a laxative?

Literally every January window you get people imploring others to wait till the end of the window and then you get another group on their high horses saying how brilliant it is that we've made so few/no signings and criticising others for daring to give a reaction that is less than positive. Personally I think it's very disappointing that we haven't managed to strengthen no matter what the manager/club pr tells us. I don't believe it's the choice of the manager not to get someone in, we simply don't have much cash for players and we are taking the risk that we can stay up without any signings which isn't very inspiring.

I expect he turned it down rather than us.
