I always knew you are a visionary…you live in the future! (23:39)

Totally agree, we have a great squad who seem to like each other and the fans, and keeping the momentum going is the key thing. You feeling better about this team? Come to a game….

I'm trying to, but our website is so **** it won't let me buy a ticket. I get a hand pointing to a seat but when I click on that seat it doesn't change to a pointy finger and allow me to buy a ticket. It was also £42 pounds for a restricted view in E block. How many Euro's did we pay to watch 'Bundersliga A for a game between Hertha Berlin v Bayern Munich ... 25 Euros?

I did say this window had been strange ! We better start praying that Willock doesn't get an injury and that Chair is fit and firing. I really hope not paying the extra 250k for Paterson doesn't come back to haunt us, there's a hell of alot of games coming thick and fast from now till the end of the season

This doesn't make any sense. Hopefully a Shaun Derry type of signing? What do we know?
Shaun Derry was a pivotal player and a mainstay in that side when we got promoted, I sincerely hope that Hendrick isn't a regular starter or we're in big trouble. There's not a single player I'd start him infront of and I can only see it as cover for Field although as far as I'm aware Ball didn't leave so its very odd indeed.

It's a case of in Warburton we trust. This one seemed a million miles off our radar. Good pro who gives 100% and wins second balls and looks to play forward. I hope it works out.
I do trust Warbs and he told Les he wanted either Lawrence or Paterson. Lawrence was a pipedream and they were never gonna sell him for what we were prepared to pay, but Paterson was highly achievable. 3 bids and none near the 750k they wanted , I think Warbs will be disappointed we never got him. But it's done now and we need to make sure it's not a hugely costly error !

We'll have to wait and see. It's either a stroke of genius or one of nondescript foolhardiness! I can't think of anything that he has done to add to our side. Maybe Warburton has.

I actually think it’s a good sign if we stuck to our guns (or we are just absolutely skint). If Swansea demanded £1 over our valuation then that’s cool. Keep him.
 
Welcome Jeff Hendrick & hope it works out, regarding Patterson no one new how much Swansea wanted & it was only rumours they wanted 750k, for all we know it could’ve been a couple of mill

Gamble in many ways. Current players feel they can’t be trusted (or feel this will lift them?). Team does/doesn’t gel with the team changes. Bournemouth and Parker **** up and we all belly laugh.
Or they go on an unbeaten run and win the league wa*#kers!

I fear it may be the latter.
 
I know it was said Swansea said it was we didn't bid high enough but have to factor in Pattersons wages too...which was a sticking point with regards Swansea.

With Hendrick it is a loan, so must be cheaper.. and he obviously wants to play to show case himself to get a move in the summer.

Where will he play.. Can see him coming on in most matches....we have a very heavy schedule, it will be a miracle if we keep all our midfielders fit, especially the way we play.

I would have preferred an out and out striker, as I thought that was our weak point...but in Warbs we trust
 
We’re lucky as our goals have been spread around the team this season so not just the strikers
 
Always thought Hendrick was a decent player.
Not sure we needed another midfielder, but Warbs knows more than us what condition, etc all the players are in.

I fear Bournemouth may have bought themselves automatic promotion, but obviously really, really hope Parker fails.

On we go.
