    Max Bird going to a Bristol City it seems. And loaned back to Derby. Bizarre.

    Quietest window I can remember, finances are starting to hit home I reckon.

    Everton usually buy at least half a dozen every window <laugh>

    If its just Hjelde, Styles and Mundle in, and just Pritchard, Bennette and Triantis out, then I'd say it's an "okay" window. Won't be as disastrous as many will make out.

    What would have been disastrous is if we had got significantly worse. i.e. sold Neil, Clarke or Ballard and not replaced them. I think / hope Mundle and Styles will fit into the way we seem to want to play better than Pritchard did, so losing him isn't as bad as it would have been if we were set on playing with a 10.

    I thought Jeff Whitley even though he was an international footballer was absolutely dire so I think he has to be on the list .

    Just made the mistake of clicking on Wise Men Say's twitter feed. Jesus christ they find the negative in everything. No wonder so many of our fanbase echo the nonsense they spew.

    I agree with all you've said there tbh. I'm actually enjoying the way KLD has us operating. Not long ago we chucked loads of money about and ended up with one of the most hated squads I think I've seen the club ever produce.

    But gutted to be losing another promising player tho. But if a player won't sign a contract there's nothing anyone can do really.

    Think I would be siding with Burstow as he seems more of a target , is quick , hopefully he can gain confidence from scoring V Stoke but I agree we have to persevere with someone .

    For context, they're actually having a go at Speakman for his explanation of why we've loaned out Triantis. Speakman said Triantis has existing relationships at Hibs, and they think he should have just said "used to be managed by their manager". Anything to have a go. All. The. Time.

    Twitter, and perhaps even on here, is going to be a nightmare in the next 2 hours or so as people start to realise there's no striker. I might stay of the internet until next week.

    I don't bother any more. I've found whenever you question it you get about 5 of their brainwashed on you in a flash. Proper echo chamber stuff.

    Let me guess ...

    ... if people don't go on one of the protests, that they always talk about but never happen, they're 'part of the problem and accepting mediocrity'. We should be stamping our feet harder and that'll definitely work <doh>

    They're not having a go at the explanation. More the words used. Apparently "existing relationships" is too corporate.

    Agreed, plus we already have a biggish squad, you've got players like Adil and Rigg on the sidelines struggling for game time as it is. Signing more players will just block their pathway. The only area I'm disappointed we didn't strengthen was the CDM.
