Stoke, West Brom, and Pompey/Boro/Us to go down.
Huh you ignore Spurs why? Also Hull are shooting down the table. West Ham are very weak too!
West Ham are near the top of the current form table.
just seen. Didn't realise they are doing so well now, they do have weak squad though with Bellamy going. Edited post now

No, the squad has not improved. We lost Shay Given. Harper is no fucking replacement. Nolan and Taylor are nothing. They are bodies. Nothing more. Especially with Barton and Guthrie out for the season.
Unfair on Stevie Harper imo.
He's never let us down.
-
The only thing that's of any solace at the moment is the fact that Boro and West Brom are worse than us. We're just in a dogfight with the 8 clubs around us for that final relegation spot, in my most humble opinion.
Don't stop believing lads

Let's see on Sat how good W Brom are.

Miracles? Who the f*** was expecting miracles?
We were lacking both quality AND quantity this window, but sorting out quantity would have been enough to keep us up in the short term. We needed bodies pure and simple.
Here's the cold, hard facts: our main relegation rivals, Hull, West Brom, Stoke, Portsmouth, and Blackburn have all strengthened majorly in this window or at least made an effort to shore up their weaknesses.
We've gone and made a f***ing profit.
Idiocity of the absolute highest order.
im not fully up on the other transfers (so correct me if if needs be)
hull - bought jimmy bullard and a defender we rejected. we bought nolan and a versatile defender/midfielder who is decent.
west brom - just loaned a midfielder? not major strengthening.
stoke - james beattie and etherington. they've done well enough but they'll still go down imo.
pompey - sold their best 2 players for a shit load of money and didnt replace either well enough. barely spent anything.
blackburn - bought diouf. lost derbyshire. not too good either.
sunderland - lost diouf, chimbonda and chopra and got ben haim. poor.
boro - swapped mido for king. meh.
like i say, if i've missed anyone fill the names in, but that doesnt look to me like they've done much better than us. if we get a few players back then we'll be fine.
Fair point
But (and it's a big but) have any of them clubs got the huge injury list we have?
-
Taylor > Duff
Nolan > Geremi
Could have been worse, could have been better.
is Taylor better than Duff on the wing? he certainly isn't better than N'zogbia. Horrible window yet again
Really..a player from Bolton and one from wigan?? Shows how low our expectations are..buying off clubs around us..
Yep should have signed Lampard and Ronaldo.
No one's asked for massive signings FFS
Just an improvement on our squad
I think we have done that.
we have. but most people made their minds up months ago that we havent.
In what way do you feel we've improved the squad?
given wanted out and handed in a transfer request. little we can do about that. harper is a more than adequate replacement and is free. £6 million up + big wages gone. just a loss/a draw at best.
n'zogbia WAS NEVER GOING TO PLAY FOR US AGAIN. lovenkrands WILL PLAY FOR US. £6 million up. win by default.
nolan is better than butt, smith, geremi and is far more reliable than barton. win.
taylor plays in many positions and is a decent squad player (squad depth innit). win.
overall, improvement. not a huge one but an improvement.
Every striker we have is carrying some kind of injury..
We only have two fit fullbacks ..... (I include Taylor in that)
We have very little creativity from the middle of the park.
There is no real pace in the team apart from Oba.
Too many injured players, 17 year old untried kids on the bench.
FFS man!
we arent man city. we have essentially zero money so we weren't going to hugely improve the way most expected/demanded.
But we did have money apparently two £8 mill bids knocked back.
But we fucked up so badly or intentionally that we didn't spend it. Hope we don't regret it come April
if the money was there then surely kinnear should be getting it in the neck? he's been banging on about wanting money and his bidding for players for weeks.
No fan of Kinnear but to believe he is in charge of deals with the present structure at the club is cloud cuckoo land.
i think he is because (im fairly certain that) if he wasnt, we'd have done a bit better.
But we did exactly the same at last years window under Keegan.
Whose the commom link I wonder?
keegan said he was happy with the squad at the end of the window. we cant argue with him.
Sorry mate but that's complete bollocks. KK may have said that (can't remember) but you seriously believe it??
Why do you think he walked oot.
-
I wonder whether Kinnear will break rank and speak out. He was obviously told something would happen, even if was just these loans to bulk out 'his' squad.
He has looked a broken man of late, wouldnt be suprised to see him walk.
Hope so. That would instantaneously make this the best transfer window ever.
If Kinnears walks then who will take this job.
Calderwood probably.
Another Forest reject

Still don't know why we've left it until just today to put a bid in for Michael Johnson, when we've been talking with City representatives for a couple days now about Given.
If the money is there, it's frustrating as fuck seeing us fail to use it.
Smokescreen tbh

And Lovenkrands whose played 9 mins for Shalke this season.

Glad they've been good to you David.
They've fucked us right off.
-
"So, you want Given? How about we do a deal. Could we have Johnson?"
"Well we'll do the Given deal first and get that sorted then we can talk about Johnson"
"OK sure, here you go. Now, about Johnson, can we have him?"
"Not for sale, sorry."
Fuckin amateurs
-
'not selling their best young players'
upping the bid wont do it they dont need money
Why the fuck didnt we find that out over the last few days for fuck sake!
They've been talking to them for weeks FFS. Doesn't add up.
-
mm where is Kaka with his positivity?
taking the medication
-
Bloke at City confirming they've turned down the bid
-
Setanta saying they expect Johnson to sign
-
Bullshit the offers were rejected days ago.
Aye probably.
