Swissmag Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It's possible. If in September I look at our lineup and see that it's gone downhill compared to the last 3 years I'll have to conclude that we're not making enough effort. We haven't signed a player on a permanent deal for 2 whole transfer windows. Do you conclude that we are making sufficient effort you absolute f***ing imbecile? :-) (he's angry now) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yep, I think we're incredibly cautious in the market and that sometimes causes us to stall slightly. The team has kept improving though (on paper I mean). On paper is where the game is really played for accountancy fans. Unfortunately on the grass we have Shola Ameobi. As far as this January goes, I really would rather get a good player for a good price in the summer than panic in the January window and start moving down the list, or just throwing loads of money at our top options to force the issue. Yes, those are the only options available to us. Get a bargain or LEEDS PORTSMOUTH WAAAAAAAAA. If we finish 9th as opposed to 8th this year, but get someone like Grenier with money to spare to go for another good player, that's better. Maybe it does come down to shoddy planning - perhaps we could've sounded Grenier out better before the window, or any number of other things that would've boosted our chances of replacing Cabaye quickly and effectively - I don't know. Get Grenier Replace Cabaye Suppose it's a good thing we sold Cabaye after the season was already over and we didn't have any more games to play.

TRon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 What difference will spending £200m make if we still have a window fitter as manager? Read the thread title, that is the crux of the matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He has already tbf - because we signed 5 players in January 2013, that's done the trick and any permanent signings in the following 2 windows would be a bit extravagant. Doesn't seem to matter that we've also removed numerous medium-to-high earners off the wage bill since Summer 2012. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 "There's always next window." Anyway, this thread has been hijacked by posts that'd be more appropriate for the Mike Ashley thread or something. All you have is someone who has totally bought into Ashley's propaganda, leaving no room for the middle ground and the very definition of slow but steady improvement.

Guest tollemache Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 And yes, the conversation drifted horribly off-topic so it should probably not continue here, save to say that I'm not buying into anyone's propaganda. I'm basing my opinion on nothing more than watching our transfer activity. I'm not here to defend Ashley or Pardew, neither of whom I think are particularly great at their jobs. I just have a more moderate take on it than thinking they're both pure and simple forces for destruction, and for that I realise that I'll tend to receive a bit of a shoeing on here because everybody absolutely hates both of them. Fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
