We will be fine. We've shifted a lot of dead wood out and brought in some quality players. It's not Charnleys fault the transfer market has gone mad. I mean we wanted Cairney and Fulham apparently turned down our bid of £20m although it's more likely that we bid £10m.

Trying to be positive we have got rid of some dead wood and signed some cracking players in Atsu Lejeune Merino Joselu. Looking forward to seeing merino and Shelvey in midfield . Get yedlin back from injury and sign a left back before 11pm and i reckon weve done very well especially if colback goes. Only downside is Diame hasn't gone...yet

Mitro not so thick. He doesn't want to be sold so he gets himself banned for three games just before the transfer deadline.

Wasnt he a Rafa buy for the scousers?

Peter Crouch anyone?

Fulham have signed Sheyi Ojo from Liverpool season long loan.

Nightmare scenario is Rafa leaves because Ash hasnt kept his word and the fat man then appoints a certain Alan pardew as manager.

We are likely to lose our first 3 games because of Shelvey and those three defeats could very well mean the difference between surviving in the epl and being relegated. He's a good player but needs to be severely punished by the club.

Seems to me that he's having a go at the EPL and that laughable rule called FFP. The clubs owned by oil rich owners just circumvent the FFP rules. It was fairer before FFP was brought in.

Anyone know how much we got from the new shirt sponsorship? Maybe that's all we had for this transfer window. Ashley did say Rafa could have every last penny the club generated. He didn't say Rafa could have any profit from transfer deals.

Hope they aren't holding back transfer funds to buy in January if we are struggling in the epl. This club needs to be proactive rather than reactive......

I watch German football every week and the defences never play offside. Defensively they are rubbish

Yards offside. Goal should have been didallowrf

Got to remember that our transfer kitty is not a bottomless pit. Yes we have tried to buy the players rafa has targeted but even rafa must accept that there is a limit to what we can reasonably pay for our targets

When it comes to signing players we have to remember that we missed out on the EPL tv money in may just gone. I think most mid table teams got something in the region of £170m whilst we got a parachute payment of around £70m so it's no surprise we can't compete in the transfer market. As for Cairney it's no surprise Fulham won't sell for £20m when they will get £170m tv money if he helps them get promoted and they are my favourite for promotion.

We are monitoring William Carvalho as Arsenal prepare £26.8m bid. Wtf does that mean!!!

Dave Watson the u18 coach spent most of his career at Everton Wonder if he's tipping Everton off how good he is and then suggesting to the lad that he would have better opportunities at Everton.

A point everyone is overlooking is we do have genuine quality in our squad. OK it may not be top 6 quality but if siggurdson is worth £50 then JJ Shelvey is worth a tidy sum and Ritchie is no slouch. I really don't think we need to completely dismantle our squad as we do have quality there...we just need to give it a chance..

If we can get Aaron's fit for a full season he will very a revelation. He has bags of talent and pace to burn. He can finish as well. This boy is the real deal in IMHO!@!

Rest in peace little man. A parent should never have to bury a child. Can't imagine their anguish at this so so sad news. .

It might be that rafa is going to bring 2 or 3 in this summer but keep the majority of his transfer kitty for January. If we are in or just above the relegation zone he will have money to try and retain our place in the EPL. Spend it all in the summer and if we still struggle, it could leave us heading back to the championship. Keep some money back for emergency buys in January.

No way is siggurdson worth £40m. You must be out of your mind to even suggest that. He's a good player but that's it. I would value him at £10m to £12m tops.

Reports are that we had a £10m bid rejected but upped it to £12m and bid had been accepted The agent will be trying to get a bidding war going.

They would be better off going for Karanka rather than that waste of space Pardew.

What Colback did was wind down his contract and move to us on a free. Pick ford simply said he wouldn't do what Colback did. So he may be open to being sold to us. Either way he'll do what his agent tells him if the money's good.
