And how does that help in any way shape or form?

Really trying to dampen the fury by taking solace in the hope that we'll bring in a good striker in January, who could save our season. Regardless of the reality we seem to live with our gormless owner and his cronies, I'm sincerely hoping they did everything they could to bring in a quality striker, without being held to ransom, and that Ruiz simply chose Fulham over us, rather than it being a fake bid. Doesn't bode well though does it.

So only a £35m striker would have made you happy? Or is there more to it than that? Pretty sure Wullie would have been happy with 15 million spent on Ruiz.

They've gone and undone all the good early work by not bringing a striker and backup defender in. The Ruiz and Ridgewell deals looked like exactly what we needed, and I fucking hate them for giving us so much hope so close to the deadline, and bolloxing it all up. Not happy, despite the good players we've already signed.

When was this? Can't flick through the pages to look

So nowt more on this fella? Something? Anything? Please? #clutchingatinvisiblestraws

Shefki Kuqi can fuck right off, along with anyone who actually thought we'd get him

Those Stoke fans Fuck me is incest allowed in Stoke too? Are they even human?

Definition of bad career choices. As well as a "all fart and no shit" player.

Dekka's in London. Up at half past 4. Working very hard. May wait for january if we don't get the right players in today. Move on people.

I think I'm glad it's the mackem rent-a-mongs behing DC today and not ours for a change.

Alan Curbishly on ssn now. "Modrik"

really?

oh ffs ssn!!! how many times do they have to go to squirt lodge and ask the twat reporter what saggy face "EXACTLY" said about Luka Modric?? Don't need to hear about that cunt and his cesspool of a club every fucking 8 minutes!!

The poofery in here is astounding

At this point, Elliot, Santon and Maiga would do alright. Whatever happened to vision and planning in advance #fml

So Mereiles is worth Sturridge and cash? What scouse mong thought that up?

Don't think there are any players ahead of him tbh, he was incredible in pre season and Villas Boas rates him, I think we'll see him in a front 3 with Torres and Mata now he's back from suspension. I'm amazed how down some people are on a loan for Macheda though, Ba has just shown the first signs of being the player we thought, in which case he'll be a more than good enough 1st choice, Best will continue to graft and get goals, and of course Pardew hearts Shola. Add Macheda to that and it's very healthy competition for what will in all liklihood be 1 striking position when HBA returns. Some people are so transfixed on a big fee marquee striker it's almost demented, I fear for their mental health. It's just possible that there isn't an outstanding target out there now, it's not gonna kill us to keep our powder dry and wait for one if that's the case Good post

I've a feeling we will... cryptic

Been a different class so far this season. If he can keep it up, we'll have a monster of a centerback on our hands. I hope the older he gets, maturity will set him right enough to fulfill his "potential". Well done you sack of shit

I know it's fashionable to wank over everything Arsenal, but how rank is that away top? Stupid colour combination.

Charnley?

that's right. Covered a huge amount of grass to get into the LB position at times today.
