If after the window shuts there's any more moaning on here about players and/or results then f*ck the lot of you.

Just sayin <laugh>
 
So are we all 100% behind the ones that are staying ?

Whatever the results.
Got to feel for Dan James. Nearly signed for us and his chairman pulled the plug so he has to remain at Swansea (never complains). Joins Manchester and plays PL football and gets sold to us. Gives it 100% every game but gets loaned out by can’t coach Jesse who probably hates having Bielsa memoirs on the pitch

He comes back to us when relegated, he declares early on his intention to stay and fight, he still gives it 100% every game and watching the rats around him refusing to play yet STILL he is singled out and slaughtered by many.

Absolutely spot on there <ok>

I see some are looking forward to September, when they think we'll have a settled squad to last until the January TW. The thing is, no UK team is safe until the Saudi TW closes, which of course is weeks later than ours. So if we rid ourselves of the naesayers before the end of the TW, we may have a more settled squad (of indeterminate quality) than some of the clubs who find themselves losing key cogss in their wheels. That's the most optimistic though I can dredge up atm.

I hate to dent your optimism but I doubt the Saudis will do much shopping in the 2nd tier.

I understood they had a rich 2nd tier too!

Coops immediately springs to mind, as he should be fit round about then. And we also have Rodrigo already over there. Both we'd have liked to keep. My hope is that they do come over after our TW & entice key players from other teams in the Championship. Fingers crossed, & straws firmly clutched.
