I'm glad of today's back to reality result (less distraction). As it is a reminder that we need serious investment ASAP, lack depth, shouldn't sell anyone else and can't scrimp by on a limited squad.
Oooft. Smoggo will be happy; Bojan, who he'd rather have over Ramirez "any day", has turned down the chance to play for Boro and has joined Mainz instead.
1 swallow doesn't make a summer and that lack of depth won't hold out for another 16 games, we need options.
No argument from me. You'd like to think the incomings would be better than those shipped out & those who were already here.
By whom? Everyone knew as soon as the signed Snodgrass he'd be on his way, I posted this exact scenario but it was blatantly obvious.
Silva directly quoted as saying "it's impossible" for anyone else to leave this window. Guess we'll really see who's in charge now...
Just having a nosey at the players were linked with Mauricio - zenit Sounds like a box to box midfielder in the mason mould, can chip in with goals, think this may be the most likely signing for us as i dont think the fee will be high as zenit have what they believe an upgrade coming in sowoukd like mauricio off the books, so depends on if they'l allow him out on loan or want a fee , and how much that fee will be Pepe - angers fc Very fast, tricky direct winger whos left footed seems to fit silvas preferred type of player, only worry is newcastle and a couple of others are also watching him and it seems the asking price is £8m will ehab use cash recieved to fund this one or is he just angling for loan signings incase were relegated Milivojevic - olympiakos Defensive midfielder, the big lad who can break up play we require, another watched by other clubs and admired, we may have the advantage that he knows silva having played under him as well as possibly being friends with elhabdelloui, looks again like the asking price is around £8m will ehab for out or again is he trying a loan to buy deal The next two days will be very interesting if we can get all the above three in then great the squad suddenly looks like,it has depth and balance although maybe overloaded in the central midfield
