If he's got any sense he'll dissociate with everything that's gone on in this window and just say it was out of his hands.

Cheap.

fuck off you speccy fucking twat

Except for the six or so strikers we tried to sign this window? I'm disappointed we haven't gotten a striker in as well, but we've had a really good window otherwise. We've brought in some real quality. Get real man. When a two bit club like Fulham are signing quality forwards ahead of us something is seriously wrong.

At the end of the day Ashley and his inept crew have proven the pessimists right. Even after a fairly good start they managed to fuck up the window by not making any serious attempt to sign the striker which would have made all the difference. Utter garbage.

Embarrassing. Can't believe we do this nearly every window. I'd far rather they just said we have the players we need and won't be signing anyone else.

And the pendulum swings back...

I'm just going to wait until we've heard something official. Looks like he's going to Fulham but deadline day deals can spring the odd last minute surprise.

Cheers lads. It's been slow as hell for me as well but seems a bit better last few minutes.

How do you know that? It's just common sense that a player would find it more difficult to make a decision in such a short space of time. Yes, but that's not quite "he'd have chosen us any day of the week". But I said "probably" chosen us any day of the week. The fact that he's delayed signing for Fulham would suggest that it might well be the case. we could have put this bid in months ago. infact, we could've bid for gameiro, gervinho, erdinc, cisse, maiga and ruiz on the same day, months ago. and we'd have gotten one of them. That's what I said in the first place. We should have been in there weeks ago.

Mortifying that he'd probably have chosen us any day of the week if we'd shown a serious interest. If he doesn't sign it's only because we came in so late like desperate wankers.

I think Fulham are favourites but the fact the Twente chairman accepted our bid after initially saying it was too late would suggest Ruiz must have wanted to speak to us. We are still in there until he says no.

For me anyway Me as well but better than nothing. Bassong would have been a better shout.

As if. It's clearly bollocks.

They're going to try and intercept Bendtner's taxi and get him to drive to Newcastle instead

Looks to have no pace at all. Shows how desperate we're getting.

Utter fucking disgrace.

Couldn't give a flying fuck at this point.

Bendtner signs for Sunderland. That would bring him a lot closer to Newcastle for sure.

That would just about sum up our clownish efforts to get a striker in.

Our fault at the end of the day. Just have to cling to the tiny hope that Ruiz forces their hand.

Agents quote was after the chairman's, never know but unlikely. The chairman just wants the deal done. The player might want to talk to us as well. /clutching@straws

I have a sick feeling in my stomach. I wouldn't trust these cunts to get a player over the line this late in the day.
