Aye definitely, the point I'm making is that we can sign players. If we don't then either our scouts are terrible or we're taking a pointless risk with the squad we have to save money.

What if they are aiming higher than replacing those two? Surely we shouldn't just except s**** to slightly less s****? The danger though is that we come out of the window with those two still starting for us because we aim for too high rather than better than we have. If those two remain our first choices I honestly don't think we will make the automatic positions, it's critical to me that the least we do is to ensure that Colback doesn't start another game for us this season, the bloke is costing us points at the minute. we need to bring people in imo. Our squad has looked suspect the last month and although we still should have enough to get promoted comfortably I cannot see any point in risking it for the sake of £10-15m (and wages). If we cannot get anyone in on loan or any 'star' players we're happy with for the future then just sign another Murphy, Gamez or Hanley who are here to boost the squad for the rest of the Championship season and then either be sold on or remain in reserve in the Premiership for a year or so. I know those players look like bad examples as they haven't had much game time, but we're so short in the centre, and Hanley and Gamez atleast looked like potential first teamers at the time. LW I think we need someone really decent like.

If during an entire transfer window we cannot find a CM and LM we could sign better than Colback and Gouffran we may as well just liquidate the club.

Nobody forgets it, it's just a completely irrelevant point. If we want to sign a LM and a CM we absolutely can. It's the job of the scouts and Charnley to find ones who fit our requirements and who "the club [is willing] to sell and the player [wants] to go". People go on like there's half a dozen players available every window, and not like an entire world out there.

Surely worth of a thread like. RIP

650 minutes. 3 goals (2 in 6 starts). Not a bad return tbh. He seems really inconsistent but he's never really been given a run.

I don't think it's him we need to replace, he's fine in his cameo role I think so I would keep him on. A left winger to come in and start ahead of Gouffran with Atsu being the option from the bench still would be ideal.

They started the game with a clear gameplan to play the ball about and attack Man Utd but just lacked the personell for it I thought, even more so when Henriksen went off (and he's only been there a week). Definitely looks promising though.

if we don't sign anyone it's completely on us - we can afford it. Thick as fuck if we don't sign a couple this window, Rafa obviously wants to.

Were we defdinitely in for him?

He's just so fucking thick.

my stream is fucking shite. The commentator? Kevin Friend. Looked exactly like him in 8-bit.

my stream is fucking shite.

Just realised this is the roid heed who butchered the Forrest game.

Hull look like they've come to play.

Nice one mate.

Fergie's the best Premiership manager but across world football during the same time we've had Ancelotti, Capello, Mancini, Conte, Sacchi, Lippi and loads more I'll have missed. They produce an absurd amount of top managers tbh.

Aye I had to google who was English there like

The game's already been tainted. 1-0 dour loss.

This The grief Ritchie gets, he's a f*** load better than Stuart Downing. Downing plays LW so would be competing with Gouffran immediatley, of who he's far better than. A 6 month loan and letting him compete with Atsu/Ritchie/Gouff for the out wide slot would be more positive than negative IMO. If it's him or no-one for whatever reason I'd take him. I'm maybe overthinking it anyway - I just want a left winger who is clearly above almost everyone else in the division on the level of Knockaert 'cos I'm greedy. We could do that imo, but a 6-month loan of someone like Downing is probably more in line with our thinking, I agree.

How are plastic blades worse than metal studs?

Bacuna with a 30 yard side footer.

I'd have Alan Hutton ahead of Colback.
