STM Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Looks like we have goals from other parts of the pitch. Sissoko, De Jong, Perez and Wijnaldum all good for a goal. Shame our defence is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just been on SSN - expects Colo to stay. Said he doesn't know if we will get anymore signings. Hope he was being cagey - otherwise we are going to struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he was being cagey - otherwise we are going to struggle. Obviously he's being cagey as I distinctly recall Ashley saying we were going to make our own luck from now on. I for one fully expect them to deliver more high quality signings as they never tell lies, mislead fans or create unrealistic expectations in the fanbase. #buythefuckingcart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Sounds like the pots dry. I'd be ok with keeping Cisse at the expense of another striker and just Adding another Centre Back. If it's just Mbemba coming in then we're fucked if he gets a knock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Certainly sounds like nothing on the horizon in terms of transfers. I wasn't convinced by his Coloccini comments, I think he was being evasive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 So we're done on transfers despite still being short on quality out wide and at the back. Horse+half-a-cart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Aye we need centre backs and a winger at a bare minimum, i could also make arguments for fullback and a DM. ( considering none of the options are particularly inspiring) Absolute joke if there's no more incomings, but sadly expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just Mbemba coming in then we're f***ed if he gets a knock. Agreed - can take Cisse staying but it's blindingly obvious we need another CB. Might be another case of sell to buy.

Chris_R Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I think the problem is we need to get people out before we get new people in. Squad size is limited to 25, and it's folly to have many if any players sat around on £30k/week+ who are not even registered in the squad. Problem is that nobody wants any of our castoffs because everyone's aware they're turboshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It's not acceptable with regards to, "change", though. If we don't make a couple more signings, nothing has changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 We should be practically paying people to take some of them and just relieve the wage bill. Nobody is going to give us a fee for people like Obertan, Gouffran and Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 They'll be thinking 3 in and around £35-40m spent. Next move is either to sell a good player or get rid of several fringe players on high wages. I think we'd like to see some of Obertan, Marveux, colo, Williamson, Taylor, goof, and riv go before making any more signings. Of course should cisse, Tiote, Cabella or sissoko attract any good offers we will sell and start looking again. Right now though I think that's it. Tbh it's much more than I expected.

STM Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Reckon we could get a couple of million for Gouffran from France. Willo and Obertan are lost causes, we should be looking at nominal fees to get rid of them. We also have Marveaux and Abeid who I suspect we are trying to flog. If it's about squad size, we should shift them ASAP. If it's about money, well, it shouldn't be. Edit: Riviere too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Would it be at all surprising if these were the only 3 and Sissoko went to cover most of the outlay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
