I didnt see up-front as being an urgent area to re-inforce, so yes I would have kept Sharp and felt he could do a job. I did see the defence as being an urgent area to re-inforce, and here is where I expected us to have more domestic transfer activity than we had. Yoshida and Büttner were not from PL teams. Really, I dont see the contradiction you are trying to highlight.

Lets see how it works out. I am simply surprised we werent in there, mixing it more for established PL players. Very Lowe-like.

And possibly a GK.

If the internet were around back then, can you imagine what people would have wrote about us getting Keegan ? Go back and have a shuftie through the first series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet; Jimmy Nail makes a few barbed comments about it in his Oz character.

The profiles of some of the players we have bought are not what I expected. To summarise: I am happy with Yoshida, Clyne Hopeful about S. Davis, Gazzaniga Bemused by Mayuka Impressed at getting Ramirez, but worried about it working out Non-plussed by Rodriguez Gutted about Billy.

On the other hand, why not look at something in terms of practical considerations instead of getting carried away ??? What a bunch of moaning minnies on here sometimes..

Listen, all you hysterical bullies, the f**king England squad is FULL of players supposedly worth as much as Ramirez, but do they come together as a unit, give quality performances and get the results needed ? FFS, have a word with yourselves..

If S-Clarke really did post that before Billys loan became public, and he concedes that this puts a different angle on the opinion he gave, then I will apologise for comparing his fickleness to that of Pompey fans.

Sorry, its how I feel. Not trolling at all, especially the mob deputisation trying to get me banned. We've bought some interesting players on paper, but will they gell into a unit and turn it on in the PL ? This squad still has sod-all PL experience. For me some of them are as big a risk as Billy is supposed to be.

That MOTD3 clip makes my blood boil even worse each time I see it. Its the supreme arrogance and self-opinionatedness of the way he says it. C**t.

Its a toughie. Lets talk specifics. I would have rather kept Sharp than buy Ramirez and Rodriguez.

I do hope he gets pulled up on this next time he is on TV. Has he got a Facebook or Twitter account we can bombard ?

This has definitely taken the shine off what has been turning out to be an impressive transfer window.

Bizarre. You want to step back and quietly observe how moronic and aggressive your posting is becoming. Mods, sort this guy out.

That team is going to take a gelling period of Burley-esque proportions...

Except the bloke whose goals got us here. F**k me, some of our fans are no better than Pompey fans.

FFS, thats mental.

I'm gutted. He really made the difference last season, and thought he had a major role to play this season. I really hope the new signings work out, and that Billy is happy at Forest.

Sorry, but the words Augustin Delgado have been repeatedly coming up in my mind the last few days...

This. The deal was apparently sewn up last night. Until this morning.

At least. I am going to be so f**ked off if this happens. We are going too far down the Carlos Kick-a-Ball route for my taste.

Come on, FFS. My son could have gone through a Saints Apprenticeship and be filling in up front in the time this is taking.

Sorry, but I can still see this slipping out of the window.

LOL at Mr. Judgemental losing it....

Sad to see him go, never let us down. Scored the first goal of last season against Leeds, setting up a superb win and setting the tone for the next 45 matches.
