    Effectively a free transfer this. £12million well spent like. He'll score bucketloads up there.

    Ha.

    Can all please take note of this and remember Stokes & Hooper scored boatloads up there.

    Every 4 goals counts as 1 so if he scores 60 plus we can have that talk!

    I think your ratio of 4 to 1 is being very generous! Seriously though get Borini and ditch Fletcher on the same day has to be up there with the Defoe/Altidore swap in terms ofr righting transfer wrongs kudos Mr Congerton

    Couldn't agree more. We may have panicked early, it's been a good window, although the defense remains a massive concern, I'll take 3-2 and 4-3 ding songs, ha.

    I think it (venting of fans frustration) gave the club abit of a shock it needed, not for one second saying we forced their hand but I'm sure it did influence them. Like you say if 4-3's all season earn us 40 odd points it's gonna be fun to watch!

    What about his wage difference ?, will he take a pay cut. And what about a swap for the dutch player (I forgot his name).

    I think it did too, certainly we know it was noted for Short to come out and make a statement.

    Wonder how loud we have to shout to get Messi in...

    I`d like to think Short kicked some boardroom arses. Unlike him to make statements so it does suggest it got through.

    "Celtic are believed to want the 28 year-old Scotland striker on loan for the season, and are willing to pick up a portion of his wages." So we're going to pick up a load of his wage bill while he earns himself a nice load of Scotland caps playing for some bugger else, are we? No! If he wants to go to Celtic, he plays for Celtic wages. Otherwise let him sit it out and rot.

    They're "willing" to pick up a portion of his wages! Bloody cheek!

    Pick up all of them or make the bugger sit in the bench and think on where he went wrong!

    hmm, would depend on how much wages they're covering. If it frees enough to strengthen further than yes yes yes for me. He's gone in a season, not like we're going to be supplementing his wages for seasons to come.
