David28 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 BBC one says will be using two strikers as much as possible, 4-3-3 is out the window for the most part. 4-3-3 is with Ba and Cisse (2 strikers) as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Didnt like the tone of that interview at all. If it was open and honest pards then doesn't sound like were going to sign anyone of note. Hopefully it was "little white lies" pards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it was "little white lies" pards. I wouldn't read too much into what he says to be frank, we'll see. Far more of an indicator is how we've said in the past that we don't believe the deals at the end of the window offer value for money and that we don't go for players that haven't been scouted to fuck. They've shown this by how little deadline day spending we've done in recent years. I'll be very surprised if we go for someone that we haven't been credited with an interest in before now.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Seriously if the sum total of our pre season is signing a defensive midfielder who we didn't really need, then the club want shooting with shit. I've praised them for their shrewd dealings of the last few years, but we've made a right hash this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as our youngsters have looked good (especially Bigi) I don't think we have just signed someone for the sake of it, he will be needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Net spend of about 3 mil so far isnt it? Definitely can't see Ashley loosening the purse strings this window but hoping to be surprised. Maybe he was banking on a big sale to fund all our other dealings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we have quite a few central midfielders, the top priority should have been a right back or striker. I think Anita will be a good addition but shouldn't have been prioritised IMO.

We had an inclination a bit before something was happening on that front, I'm refering to signing a top player when no links or strong rumours we're active despite what AP says.

Tbf we have about 5 players who can play right back. Not that I wouldn't have preferred Debuchy but Anita wasn't a signing we didn't need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
