"club should have just come out and made their intentions clear" which means what ? i'm guessing their intentions were to get in the best players they could

the squad lacks depth in quality (i guess all bar the top 3 do)but . first 15 is now ok (even with the two news of which i know nowt) next few weeeks will be interesting

dont think i posted in ther but "sorry" just in case.

Absolutely top quality post Johnny. Having read through some of the other comments here, I was starting to question my sanity for being a little dissapointed. I'm glad to see I'm not the only "mad" one. i'm a little disappointed,not massivly,just a little. i was expecting more but i know nothing or gonzalez or xisco.

yip....bring it on

pre baby blues

I think it could and should have been better than that. I think we are fooling ourselves if we think otherwise. Remember also, the 'net' player situation is even worse than that! net player situation ? go on remind us

in this window have brought players into the positions i wanted (centre half,centre forward and 2 centre mids). lets see how they develop as even with colo and jonas it's too early to say even though they've started very well

jonas or duff to the right,n'zogbia on the left for now (geremi and barton can both play right aswell)

can't see anything more happening but I prefer the "say nowt" attitude and style,cut the press out completly. sooner or later they'll leave us to get on with it.

in may overall i was looking for a centre half,2 central midfieldrs and a centre forward. looks like we have them though in unknown quantities (gonzalez and xisco if and when confirmed). just watched last weeks mock the week. now going to watch green wing. that's how interesting it is.

i don't despise it but it makes me feel uncomfortable.

gonzalez confirmed erm err thats it.

if nothing else it's good to know man city and man utd have some utterly mongish fans. it's not just us!

ssn "news of a big big deal brewing....back after the break" aye fucking righto

d'you know something we don't ?

jenas ?

poor heartbroken GM.........zigic off to santander on loan

(this may have already been pointed out but i aint re-reading 5 pages to find out) so,lets say citeh go and spend wads on good players and finish in the top 4 this season or next and build on it.........seems like arsenal or liverpool would no longer be able to guarantee the champs lge money and the pulling power that comes with playing in the champs lge.

GMT i think throughout europe

you'll have to explain that further (unless it opens up too many emotional wounds)

3rd one is funny with the kidda in the box, 4th one looks like the copper has just receive a savage flick of that kid. 6th one. mackems.gif deffo thought you'd have got one of the bird with her cat out.

me ...i'm for it. i like the idea that clubs should make do and can't just go out and buy when trouble arises. however i'd go further, most of the major euro leagues start in august so end the window on july 31st so the squads are in place for the start of the season rather than this fluid effect weeks into the season. i'd also have a limit on the ammount of players registered to play in the prem. say each club can only register 22 players to play that season. not perfect but any thoughts ?.

Of all the major European leagues, I think Holland is the only one that finishes tonight... i thought it was europe wide. bit bizzarre if it's not.

didn't they have some bloke last year with several mob phones getting messages off agents etc.....was hilarious.
