    You would, wouldn't you? I'm not buying this wage bill bullshit there's only Kone and Rodwell left on decent contracts surely?

    You don't have to tell me mate. Looking pretty grim. The lack of depth is scary. If i was the likes of Greenwood I'd be hesitant of accepting a long term loan as their chance will probably come this season once the injuries kick in.

    I think McCormick is a problem with the loan fee.

    Quiet up the road as well, tough seasons all round by the looks of it.

    Makes you hanker for the days of Roy Keane when we bought every bugger going. Didn't we have something like 46 players at one point?

    They've still spent over 35m, more than we were spending in that league. Mike spending what he can for them, he'll still get it in the neck though.

    They bought 2/3 of a Kyle Walker then...

    They look ****ing awful, that West Ham game was godsend timing for them. Not half as bad as us of course, ha.

    Didn't Grayson say it's not wages what's the problem? Looks like nobody is coming in ffs bottom 6 here we come.

    Oh it's not enough, but at least he's spending what he can. Short is just hovering up transfer fees, loan fees and free wages.

    Renato Sanchez on loan to Swansea. ****ing hell, a squad who looked as bad as us last season relying on one man scoring to keep them up. World has gone crazy.

    The difference McCormack could make at this level mate, I doubt Villa are holding us to ransom for a high earner who's not gonna play a ****ing game.

    We are the Aldi of alleged big clubs.

    Maybe we're holding them to ransom, they really want rid. Very very dangerous game to play on deadline day though. Apparently rangers are in for him but he turned them down flat as he's set on joining us. Don't know if there's any truth in it though.

    Look on the bright side lads, the faster Short reaches his financial goals the faster we're sold to someone keen on investing and building.

    We've also got rid of most of the terrorists in the squad and I don't seriously believe for a minute we'll be relegated even if the window shut this minute.

    Yeah I think he's been quite clear all summer he's keen to come here. He's a match winner he would make such a difference.

    Can I just say I hope the transfer window shuts on Jack Rodwell's dick?

    Oh well - back to work...
