    Not knowing anything about PSG's finances, but how can they afford this kind of money? I can see tears before bedtime.

    And some should stop telling others what they need to do.

    As it stands I don't think their is a glaring hole in the team/squad if everyone remains fit and on the payroll.
    For me I think we can afford to be patient in the window. I'd like to see additions of course, squad always needs a freshen up, but if we have to wait for Celtic's champions league qualifier to get Armstrong then so be it.

    Their owners basically bathe in oil. £200m is pocket change to them.

    Living and working in the construction sector in the UAE and seeing what is spent on development projects in the GCC; club ownership is a vanity pastime. I sit in meetings with clients who make considered decisions there and that make the whole transfer spend by a EPL club this Summer a complete irrelevance. I kid you not.

    I also think that while we all want to see us competing regularly for a top four finish and fretting about the spend of other clubs; the reality is that we are at best going to be a top 10 club and to come 6-8th is about as far as we are going to achieve. EPL has a glass ceiling and with the freakish exception achieved by the Foxes; this is about our limit. We all would want more; but we do not have the deep enough foundations to be more than that.

    Isnt this a bit wonky? We played crap but it was nothing to do with the players or squad? I think we played crap and made 8th because the rest of the league played worse, nothing to do with us.

    I'm really hoping to see some new midfielders and a quality CB. Hopefully Pellegrino can get the best out of the rest.

    I really do not think it about money, pretty sure if the new gaffer wanted someone, or if the box picked out a couple, funds would be made available

    Nor are we children, nor are you a kindergarten teacher to tell people that they need to calm down. By doing that you are coming across as a condescending and patronising prick. It's just my take on it, but carry on by all means, teacher. Calm those unruly children.

    Get a grip. You are the one coming across as condescending over nothing. Maybe you should chill a little?

    I really don't get those messages from Beefy posts.

    It may be pertinent for you to apologise for what you said, that was uncalled for, and that's just my view in an unauthorised point of view...
