I get your point, but i'd rather see us trying to strengthen the team with many new players and take the risk, than doing fuck all. Besides the players we are about to sign aren't exactly 'has beens' They're true quality (Mbiwa Debuchy and Sissoko.)

There will always be a physical battle, but i think that the signing of Sissoko will get us to see the very very best of Anita and his strengths as a player. Sissoko is not a deep sitting DM so Anita will get to do what he's best at, distribute the ball from deep, simple but very effective. Sometimes when Tiotë has been playing we end up with two players going deep to receive the ball from our defense leaving us in a way too deep starting position to start our attacks from. When you have two of your CM's in the same line sitting very deep it makes it easy for the opposition to press and limit our time and space on the ball, as well as us losing an outlet/option to pass forward to which makes it difficult for us. Not only that, as a result of this our wingers/wide forwards are forced to go too deep as well. Cabaye/Marv in a advanced position with Sissoko making powerful runs box to box able to carry the ball and giving us a very good outlet centrally will give us some great balance. Exciting times..

RMC say that he'll be a Newcastle player on friday. Tomorrow then, i have no sense of time/date anymore.

Looks to have a sweet left foot and some pace and technical skill. It's the potential we're investing in i guess. Without knowing much about him im excited with this potential signing.

Funnny guy

Was it Wonder dar Duck or whatever it was?

Aye, top top quality. Will add to two of the most important positions. Spine.

Has he had his medical yet? Anyone who knows? Rumours....I just want this signing sealed.

Don't know if his injuries are in anyway related, so you may be right in that sence, but he's missed a fair few games for us since, so it's either that or he is just "unlucky" with regards to injuries. Apart from his last injury i think he's mostly been unlucky, aye. Am i imagining stuff if i say that it looks like he has bulked up quite a bit? Looks more powerful and maybe not as agile as he was when he came? Hopefully he won't end up with many muscle related injuries in the future and that the latest one is a one off.

So am eye! Almoste forgot about him This window has ben loco, albeit a great one so far.

Wouldn't exactly call him injury prone myself.

Our depth in CM

Im not worried anymore, i bet he's as excited as we are. But say that we hadn't signed these players in this window, then he'd leave, he would find it hard and be sad about i think he would have left, would have been dumb to stay, even if we'd have loved it. So for mer personally, it's not just us signing good players, but it will certainly help us keep special players like Ben Arfa and im over the fucking moon about it.

Ambitious enough??

GET IN!! WOOW, Seriously, What a signing and what a window. Can't come up with a better signing than this, will improve us massively. Im over the moon with this one.

West Ham might continue to drop down the table.

Not seen much of Gouffran, but i do follow the french league when time allows, watching some games but mostly reading on the internet. Without a doubt that Remy is the better player and has more talent, or at least was the better player until very recently cause of injuries and perhaps a lack of motivation after a massive loss of form. Can he return to his best? Possibly, but you never know. Highly rated.

Would take Sissoko ahead of a striker.

Was looking forward to see the new CB partnership on tuesday

So Colo's option is to start playing in the black market league.

The €1-3m Sissoko might cost wont give us much of a striker tbh. We need Sissoko very much as well.

Please, happen!!

Wtf? I finally take some time to paint my walls (not sure if paint is the correct word like) as this loco window has taken up most of my time and now this? Didn't expect this. Refuse to say too much about Colo until we know the reasons, there better fucking be a good one considering how poorly he has handled this, or more like going quiet about it. Worst timing ever. Hopefully we'll know soon. Get Douglas/Sakho in (doubt we'll bring one in . ) And why the hell would you care about my walls

Has Brummie posted his thoughts on this game? (after their game against Bradford)
