Because the team is full of character.

Recent scorelines and the amount of missed chances recently would tell me a striker is a priority but there you go. End of the day there is something to work with up front. When your first choice in positions are Colo & Dummet plus one of Anita & Colback....then your priorities for strengthening lie elsewhere.

Also i wouldn't worry too much about what Swansea fans say, they've been blessed since coming in to the prem with some very talented central mids, especially at passing and creating. In that time we've had Cabaye. His head is gone but a fresh start can make all this difference, just look at HBA when he's reborn.

Spot on. So much shit going on behind the strikers its impossible for them to flourish. We become harder to beat those chances become less important and confidence will start to grow. There's enough talent in Mitrovic and Perez for us to tap in to, there's fuck all in the centre, nowt at LB that is fit enough to make it on to the pitch and only one worthwhile option at CB.

It'll make a change not to see the opposition waltz through the centre unchallenged but its going to take more than him, we need another, a left back and a CB.

Hope its around the £5-6m mark and not £10m....i know people don't care 'coz we wont spend it' etc...but i just don't fancy arming a potential relegation rival with a free £10m, especially since they've got a decent record in recruitment.

Fair play for not deleting this and hiding.

Charnley - don't upset Mike. Mike - I like turtles.

10 days into the window and not a sniff of a player through the doors. We've no chance of staying up. Best thing is no one cares. None of the players care, they'll be off to pastures new, in fact for some relegation is great for them as it forces the club in to selling them for cheap. The manager doesn't give a shit, he's just hoping he gets lucky if he keeps doing the same thing. The board don't have any idea what they are doing and the fans are just day trippers, couldn't give a fuck about the club and its direction as long as they've had a nice day out with their mates. This club is nothing apart from a fucking sad joke.

Second-half substitute Florian Thauvin, who arrived from Marseille for a reported £12million in the summer, was subjected to the worst of the taunts from the dispirited Newcastle support, with some sections of the crowd chanting, "You're not fit to wear the shirt" at the young Frenchman. He also appeared to be booed when he went over to applaud the travelling section at the end of the match. "He's a young kid who's just coming in and he's got to adapt to this kind of thing and we're certainly behind the scenes supporting him," McClaren said of the 22-year-old.

yes.

3pts lost today

Booing and chants of you don't know what you're doing from Villa fans aimed at Garde.

In our current state i'd be more than happy to get Shelvey in.

Ashley loves a gamble. No bigger one hr can make than not signing players this window. Personally think he gets a kick out of it.

Thought that was wes brown.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35215306 Good signing at that price....A gamble i'd like to see us take. Same kind of gamble Norwich took on Redmond

sell him

Parky must be in front by now.

Tottenham will understand why we ask £40m for perez when they come knocking.

Gutted :'( RIP

Nerves got the better of him, it happens. Hopefully he can move on from it and build on his first premiership appareance.

We'll stay up with SMC if we get an average quality holding mid, centre back and left back. We'd have won the villa game and drew our last two and those points would have made such a difference, and that's only over 3 games. We'll be nothing but bottom half after that like. We need a forward too. IMO we don't. I'd play one of Mitrovic and perez up front, 3 in the middle and two out on the wings. Mitrovic Thauvin Sissoko Anita Wijnaldum New Tiote LB Tall CB Mbemba Janmaat Works for me. Sissoko leaves, put Perez there. If Thauvin works better on the right then we have an issue, but for this season he should be happy getting game time in any position.
