I echo this very much.

Rodgers

So, that's another summer transfer window which has ended in disappointment. I can just about accept us not signing a new RB/CB - our options there are quite decent (for the next 4 months anyway) but our failure to sign a striker is not on tbh. Of course, we do have two top strikers in Cissé and Ba but our options after those two aren't the best - Shola's best role is coming off the bench as an impact player; Sammy was impressive during pre-season but can he properly step it up this season?; and Campbell is still a young'un. Signing a backup/third choice striker should have been at the top of our priorities. I shudder to think what we'll do if Ba and Cissé get injured/go to the ACoN. Though, on a more positive note, we didn't lose any of our top players. As far as I'm concerned, the core of the team is still intact and that must count for something surely? A couple of additions would have been brilliant, that goes without saying but think we can still push on for the next 4 months - like I've said the core of the team is still there and our youth players should help us cope with the high number of games we're expected to play. Our lack of options upfront will be a continually worrying issue though. With these two paragraphs in mind, this summer's window has been a disappointment. Hoping for some good news in January...

Only just seen Liverpool's squad there - yep, certainly makes me feel better about our inactivity yesterday. Don't really know where Liverpool's goals are going to come from like - they really don't have any natural finishers in the side.

Agreed. Would have made much more sense to do that.

Big fall out at the club on the board... offer him money NOW!! I'm sure the Pardew charm will be more than enough to lure him here

7th. Would be satisfied with that.

Already planning my trip to Bordeaux.

Sooo, was nice to see/hear the other clubs around us doing something yesterday whilst we did nothing. Good stuff () But, looking on the bright side, at least I didn't go on a rampage in town.

Boo-urns.

Bordeaux

Reet, see yous on the other side of 11pm...

For all those watching SSN later on today, at least you'll have Natalie Sawyer to look at to counter the Jim White craziness.

Depends who we draw? Hmmm I guess. Seriously thinking about heading over for a game if we draw a French team.

How hard would it be to get tickets for the away legs btw?

Wouldn't mind drawing Bordeaux.

Decent game tonight mind. Hopefully more of the same in future games

Uh oh.

I'm almost glad I'm not staying in tomorrow. Not looking forward to deadline day whatsoever (unless of course we sign someone). (Still going to check the forum like so I may come home with a broken phone after throwing it across the street).

Cissé's going to score a left footed volley akin to his one last season against Villa tbh.

Fair play to them for securing Sessegnon for the long haul. (It's going to end in tears though, as has always been the case).

Will more than likely go to this actually.
