I didn't expect them to sort everything out in one or two windows, our midfield lacking in creativity is the biggest problem that I can see with our squad and they should have done something about it. I'm saying that now because I've always said that we lacked creativity and was willing to give them a chance to sort it, they haven't.

I'm commenting on this window.

Produce sawdust?

The worst part of this deal for me is that we were after Johnson and we allowed Given to sign for them without using him as a bargaining chip.

If Dennis Wise is responsible for first team recruitment and all he could do was bring in Nolan and somebody in part exchange for a player who we didn't expect to go then he hasn't done his job well. Our financial position has nothing to do with him, true. To make a transfer window profit in our current league position is both stupid and reckless. Our midfield is lacking in creativity and to miss one of only two opportunities to put that right is poor at least and it's as if we're playing Russian Roulette with our future.

Only if you expect anything positive from his game.

I'd like to know what Dennis Wise is employed to do, if it's bringing in young kids then I'm OK with that. If he's been in charge of our first team recruitment during January then he should be sacked for that as it has been a joke. I know we aren't in a position to go around picking up top players but he's been in the job long enough to have been able to upgrade Duff and Butt. Our midfield hasn't just become a problem, it's been that way since we got rid of Dyer and Solano.

This news could only be topped by Kinnear signing a contract, I just don't know what to say.

I think he's take the job seriously and would do everything he could to turn the club around, he doesn't seem to have much of an ego either so I think he'd recognise if he was making mistakes. Allardyce either couldn't or wouldn't change what he'd always done and that was his downfall.

I think Bruce could handle the pressure, he knows the club and will know what comes with the job.

We've strengthened in this window but we haven't brought in enough quality.

Agreed.

Any team that plays one of Butt, Duff or Shola has problems, we're playing all 3 and that's beyond excuse. Who that's down to has to be Kinnear, at least for Duff and Shola as both have ready-made replacements at the club. These three players are by far the worst we've got and I cringe whenever I hear we are playing them.

I've got no complaints about the two who have gone but we are taking a massive gamble on our Premiership status. I don't think we/they have any excuse for not sorting out some of the obvious problems we have as they are the same as they were a month ago other than Barton who is unproven here anyway. We can possibly live with Owen being out if Kinnear has the balls to pick the best 11 but I'm not sure that he has, Sunday suggests that he hasn't.

He was shown arriving in the snow.

It's no more valid than the press in Norway claiming that it was £50 million.

£5.9 million, allegedly.

N'Zogbia currently having a medical.

Craig on now, nowt new.

Man City are saying Johnson is going nowhere.

Duff will have dived.

source? ssn? Some bloke from the Premier League has just been on SSN.

We could have a 24 - 48 hour extension but the deadline is still 5pm for now.
