think everyone wanted and is happy with additions. Very good window

When did N'Guessan make his league debut for us? Must have missed it. Guly / Chaplow been here all season? Adkins been here all season? Where strengthen? LM - Lallana's not that good?! CF - Barnard / Guly / Lambert are not rated in this league? RM - Ox-C will never make it.. etc etc!

Are those who were getting arsey and saying its a done deal still so confident he is leaving today?

Looking like (unless any last minute surprises) we have kept all of our quality and added some impact subs / cover. Squad last season in the second half of season would have been good enough to take us up - this is much stronger.

Arsenal are continuing their pursuit of Southampton whizkid Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The 17 year-old winger is also wanted by Manchester United. But the Daily Mail says Arsenal held further talks last night over their proposed £10m move for Oxlade-Chamberlain. Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood has expressed concerns over the fee for the midfielder given that his contract will not kick in until he's 18.

not so sure, think Hammond maybe in his first 11

we are getting greedy!

but Chaplow scored against Man U - not bad replacement

What I like about N'Guessan is sounds the pacy strong impact sub we have spoken about. Also like it that Brighton fans were keen to get him - he sounds better than Antonio did. We have more than replaced Papa and Antonio with two better players in Guly and Ox-C.

26 1/2 hours to go.... N'guessan in addition two still up in the air. Think its going to be an ok to good window

He probably did miss it! He probably doesn't realise: 1) not much wrong with this squad 2) most transfers are done on last day 3) we have made 3 signings

1-4?

Morgan played better than Scholes or Owen yestersay (although Scholes class was there to see)

Take it docker can't back this up? More anti-saints snipes.

Rested. As in other cup games.

and he was being negative!

Have a look at the link a couple of posts up, and google the players from yesterday. Those weren't some 3rd string 16 year olds we were playing! We were beaten when two world class subs came on and one of the best poachers of his generation reacted to score in 6 yard box.

I don't. I believe him to be the best player in league 1 so is big miss.

lost Antonio and Papa got Guly, Ox-C and N'Geussan. Guly and Ox-C both head and shoulders better than the lost players. N'G seems better rated and better pedigree than Antonio was when he came

That may not have been their total first choice 11. But nearly all have played a decent amount of prem and champions league games for them this season. http://www.stretfordend.co.uk/seasons/season2011.html

Right! Due to Adkins failings as a manager he was unable to bring on the premierships best ever left winger and a 25million player who plays for Portugal!

most of those stats, tbf, were from start of season when we were not doing well.

no prob

I was defending him saying made a mistake before getting pace of the game

so, did they get away with it? crappy poorly supported team in championship gets dodgy money thrown at them get their time in prem, cups etc and back where they started. Don't seem to have been punished or to be worse off than when they started
