NG32 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It amazes me, everyone accepted that we were on a budget and everyone recognised we needed more players but were happy with working on a budget. OUT OF THE WINDOW NOW! Expectations have risen like a vampire starting his night shift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Shit, what happened to this thread over the last few hours? Someone has turned on the bullshit tap and run away. Depressing to have to go over these arguments every time we have a transfer window that isn't what everyone wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It was a great chance for the club to really push on, which we have failed massively to do. We still have a good team but a weak squad, that will be punished playing in europe every other weak. That along with the fact that other teams around us have gotten stronger means we will probably be looking at a top 10 finish, but nowhere near the top 6.

OUT OF THE WINDOW NOW! Expectations have risen like a vampire starting his night shift. Nephu Gimp, Everyone accepts we're on a budget, we've had failed bids of 8 figures on more than one occassion, yet we've spent £3m. We've targeted RB, not signed anyone, we haven't replaced two strikers that have left and failed with targets. Expectations have not risen, stupidity has evidently though and comprehension levels have gone out the window. I really do have to go now, best wishes. Uncal Eric.

And all these teams that have improved in and around us...Everton...yeah picked up some good players. Chelsea have spent crazy money from their Russian owner. Who else?

Yeah im not really talking about City, Chelsea or Man Utd. I think Spurs have or certainly are in the process of improving, as you said Everton certainly have. Liverpool look stronger than last year.

NG32 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 We just beat Spurs with only one difference to our team. Anita. Liverpool still look gash to me. Everton are maybe the only team that look like they are up for it so far. So really, its just Everton in my eyes. If nothing happens in the remaining days i'll be worried to see how we cope with EL and the premier league...unless Pardew knows the young'uns are ready.

The way we deal with europe and the league is also my main concern. I also think we played Spurs at the perfect time, there team will be vastly different form the one that started against us, to the one on deadline day.

TRon Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm going to wait until the window closes before giving a considered opinion. So far the players we've lost were not first teamers and they've been replaced with what look like good signings on what I've seen so far in Bigirama, Anita and Amalfatino. All midfielders is the only concern, which is why I hope there's still more to come. We might end up waiting until we get the players at the price we want though.

The only 8-figure bid I was aware of was for Carroll - and that was merely an option - subject to the end of a season-long loan. Admittedly, maybe I'm not the keenest follower of our activities(/inactivity) this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Al Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 If AP's comments from todays presser unfold to be true, i.e. nobody comes till 11pm on Friday, it'll be a p*ss take on all NUFC fans: - second half of last season the mantra was that we'll signifficantly stregthen in the summer if we qualify for Europe - in June, we were targeting a close pal of Cabaye, a goal-scoring CB, all in all no less than 4-5 quality signings - then all of a sudden, the targets became 2 to 3, if 'they offer enough value', a bid for AC was made, showing some intent to the fans that the club will actively seek for reinforcements - in August, the new song was 1, maybe 2 newbies - 3 days before the window shuts, the incomings all of a sudden become unlikely, because - quelle surprise - the targeted players appeared to be settled at their clubs(!?) So what's the obvious conclusion - AP has constantly mislead us, time and time again. They are taking us as complete mugs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Spurs have also lost their best player, in case that matters. They're replacing him as we speak. If you mean Dembele, that remains to be seen. He's thought of as a great player at the moment, but he's still a downgrade on Modric and a very different player.
