    It looks like The current bottom 3, Boro, Palace and Watford will be taking the relegation spots and seemingly Palace have their cheque book ready. Can we pull 2 decent signings from somewhere?

    Like I said before, its.not really about Januzaj per se. More about the fact that we didn't need a player in his position.

    Think you need to take a look at the league table mate, none of the above are in the bottom 3.

    JD on the bench today. Borini put there as an experiment and bags a hat trick. We sell JD for £25 mil last day of transfer window.:emoticon-0143-smirk:emoticon-0143-smirk:emoticon-0143-smirk:emoticon-0143-smirk:emoticon-0143-smirk:emoticon-0143-smirk:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

    I can't understand where you have got that from, mate?

    Don't want this to go around in circles, kinda feel as though I've made my point. I just think Moyes has gone with Januzaj as that is what he knows and he hasn't giving Khazri anywhere close to a fair crack at the whip. Which is disappointing because we know how good he can be for us.

    You are just talking about the past, which isn't really fair. Lens came back this summer, in the best form and shape, he had been in since signing for the club.

    Lens has gone on record as saying he wasn't wanted at the club by Moyes when he was ready to play and he doesn't know why.

    Moyes has basically ****ed off Lens and Khazri, for Januzaj. Both of which are better players, imho.

    The bottom 3, Palace, Boro and Watford, i.e. 6 teams. I am fully aware who the bottom 3 are! :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    My point is, why not play both? They're not the same player. With all of your injuries surely that'd have been an option at some point. He still chose not to.

    Moyes has p*ssed quite a few fans off by not playing both. I would like to have seen this but Moyes is our manager and we have to go with what he chooses.

    I've just clicked on what you meant. You could have said the current bottom 3 AND blah blah blah.

    Then we would have understood <laugh>

    We´re not going to get a new striker are we, so we need some quality in midfield. If we could sell Khazri and Coates we may have 10M to get someone in. If Moyes isn't going to play Khazri then we should get decent cash if we can.

    Lens, Coates & Khazri.

    Leaving aside the argument as to whether or not they should be playing for us, the fact remains that, for whatever reason, they`re not. One is playing about 10 minutes a week and the other two are not here at all so selling them will be a negligible weakening of the squad.

    At todays prices those three might finance a couple of little better than average players unless Moyes can unearth a couple of these "gems" he`s famous for.

    There`s still the Alvarez debacle to resolve.

    Whatever happens, if that`s all the funding Moyes is going to get then we are still well and truly in the clarts.

    We should be getting no less than 10m for Khazri. We don't rate Coates, but again, with his age and everything we should be looking at a minimum 5 million.

    There`s that important word again.

    I feel a little more confident with Bain than with the useless Byrne but not massively so yet. This window might give us a better idea as to his negotiating skills.

    Up to now I suspect those who run business courses could hold us up as a shining example of how to get things spectacularly wrong.

    It`s not just a case of hoping things change, they have to, and sharpish.
