Those were the days.

Not exactly the sort we need, not even close. Good player, don't get me wrong, but not what we need. We have plenty of those types.

As much as I admire your optimisim, I don't see a huge deal happening for us! 0.5-1 for me. Would go to a 5 if we signed Quincy, but we do still need a CB with power. We've basically sold our best CB for £75m and haven't replaced him.

At least Goa can now pay back some of his loans with the VVD money.

Why? What has Slimani ever done in the PL? I think he's looked completley unfit for the PL. Hey, Carrillo may be as well, but Slimani wouldn't have been the answer.

Ah I hate that quiet day bull****. Bit of club PR in there as well throwing the ''it would be unacceptable for most clubs to pay the fee up front, so we've done well to get this far'' kind of thing. But it seems as if the official line fed from our side is that Spartak couldn't get a replacement, but that's a weak line as their window doesn't close until late Feb, and their season doesn't restart until a couple of weeks time either. Push the blame onto the other party, we did all we could sir, we did. The team is a little bit broken without pace.

They could still buy a PL player after our deadline. Sure it's been done before. That's why I don't buy that reasoning.

It happens every year. Sky just want to make a story out of anything.

To be fair, Spartak have got more time as their window closes in Feb. So I don't buy that reasoning Sky have put out.

Deal off, according to SSN.

Lol, I knew Maggie would get bites.

We lost him a year ago tbh.

Some great memories looking back at that old youtube channel......and some not so great memories given that there are interviews from Mark Fry on there.

Rudi Skacel! He signed on the pitch. We even got him a wonky wodden table to sit at.

Everyone thinks they need more/can do better. I'm sure West Ham fans will raise you to that...

Yeah, something afoot I reckon. Only 48hrs to find out.

He did! Worth noting that he did play with Dusan at Twente.

Virgo????? That's going back a bit!

He actually has his own brand ffs.

I cannot get into my head how people will sit at home, and make transfer rumours up on twitter. I mean, what makes you want to do that? I can think of a lot more things I could be doing if I was bored one evening at home. Incognito mode...

Standard West Ham. They've also just had a bid rejected for Tom Cairney at Fulham. Their owners had some unsavoury contact with some fans last week (regarding their lack of investment). Low and behold they are now shouting from the rooftops about any player. It's all just to appease the fans and to make it look like they're trying and that they have money, but I don’t expect anything to happen, apart from maybe a loan on the last day. Their fans have real issues with their owners. I'm glad we don't have them running our joint.

Lol. A lot of the stuff DT posts should probably stay in his head.

That's good news, obviously still a few weeks away, but back in time for our crunch fixtures you'd have to say. Lots of options now, we just need to use them right...

This isn't happening.
