Agree with this. As I said earlier, if you stand still in this league, others will overtake you

Whatever way you look at it we've taken too long to reach a decision. Rumours of an impasse surfaced days ago, we should have had a contingency in place regardless

They never needed the money though, thats partly the frustration we didn't walk away sooner and sort an alternative.

Stand still in this league and you go backwards.

Yeah we've evidently had money to spend. We've just been tunnel visioned in our targets. We needed to have contingency

Something doesn't feel right at all.

Mitchell's done nothing of substance since coming in. This was a vital window and its been fumbled badly.

That and we've left it to 36hrs before the window shuts

We've faffed around for far too long when it was obvious we weren't going to get him. Its been horribly managed our side. I'm not pointing fingers but since Amanda and Ashworth left things feel to have regressed badly on the recruitment side.

Us

The squad looks flat. The lack of signings looks to have effected our mental state so far this season

I dont blame Palace at all. We had 4 weeks to match their asking price and couldn't do it. We should have an alternative wrapped up already.

I agree. I think Liverpool come in for him after Friday's deadline. They need a Van Dijk replacement and rumours are they like Guehi.

We're creating nothing... our attempts on goal over 3 games is horrifying like

3rd game in a row we've been outfought. Thats a concern

He'll marry a local lass and have lots of Geordie kids.

The evidence of an impasse in negotiations and Howe saying we're not likely to sign a RW.

Happy to be proved wrong but all evidence suggests we'll not sign anyone else this window.

No meltdown. We just need to accept we pulled out of this deal some time ago and decided to run with what we have this season.

Is Mitchell on holiday lol? Where the f is he?

He's at Selhurst Park. Sky have just shown him. Looks like he's in the squad to me.

Does feel that way since Amanda left. She was the one that seemed to get the deals done and helped create the family atmosphere.

I'm sure Hope posted the exact same thing a week ago

Just seems a waste of time when we're so desperate in other areas

Why are we waisting time on another keeper?
