    Actually laughing at that statement from Donald and Methvens mate.

    Only really Sheff Utd that have made significant upgrades out of the promotion challengers for me. I'm not a huge fan of Whittaker but he'll help improve Boro but if they don't sign defensive upgrades thats a failure of a window. Leeds have signed nobody. Burnley have signed a backup rightback and 2 older squad players. Blackburn have signed Adam Forshaw who is about 60 and terrible and Dion Sanderson who was decent in league one but thats about it.

    Disbelief.

    They've strengthen their squad for sure, I'm not blown away by their signings - solid championship signings imo.

    This is Bob who still thinks Stewart Donald was our greatest owner in the history of the club and saved us from extinction.
    Criticising everything that KLD and KS do

    He isn't good enough for a team that'll probably be relegated, wasn't wanted at Watford and has scored one goal in his career ...

    ... I follow Burton, don't ask why, and he wasn't rated there ... bad attitude.

    Looking at the business done in this window, Le Fee is right up there in terms of the calibre of player, most Premiership teams haven't made inbound transfers of that quality.

    Probably look like an idiot at the end of the season saying this but I do not rate Choudhary

    The fact we haven't sold Jobe, Rigg, Watson, Neil, etc more than makes up for not signing a couple of average squad players imo.

    Literally signed someone on loan with a huge signing fee if we are promoted who statistically was the third best player in France behind Messi and Mbappe but not ambitions enough because it’s not Hamza Choudbury who’s had more loans that Stewart Donald did just to keep the lights on.

    howling.

    I am not jealous of any Sheff Utd January signing. Bang average.

    You're entitled to your opinion, but people are also entitled to tell you just how bad that opinion is. Le Fee is arguably the biggest transfer into the Championship in the last decade, you can't possibly construe it as lack of ambition unless you don't know what you're talking about.

    Ambition doesn’t mean spending money for the sake of it though mate. I personally couldn’t care less who Sheffield United have signed. The only one I’d have been happy with would’ve been Diaz.

    The Le Fee signing alone shows ambition for us imo.

    Spot on mate. They signed Cannon and BBD, who are both quality players but unless they fit in with their style of play it won't make them a better team.
    Clarke was one of the best players in the league last season and should have easily made the step up, however Ipswich aren't playing to his strengths.
    There is a huge difference between the BEST players and the RIGHT players .
    I think KLD and KS seem to be bringing in the right players.
    A lot of people think Sheff Utd are going to be so much better for the run in after their latest signings, I think it may actually hamper them

    I’d also not swap Le Bris for any of those in the top 3

    I must’ve missed us loaning Le Fee from Roma, paying 100% of his wage.

    what’s having a go entail? Paying £10 million for Tom Cannon?
