    I know, That makes no sense. Why on earth wouldn't you just say a nice round £100m? Or at least £99,999,999.99 like a proper salesman.

    Sorry if it;s just me.. but does anyone else ''honestly'' believe that a Dutch International player
    'really wants to come here' ?

    Like .. Why ? ?

    Ah yes, stepping stones ....

    I agree about quality rather than quantity, but i think we we are playing a really risky game. Unless MP2 improves quickly we dont have players suitable for a plan B, ie fast counter attack. I don't think our plan A is particularly effective. As for plan C you can forget that.

    I think we are walking into relagation

    He may of course just want to get out of Russia....and it's all palm trees and tropical sunshine here (at least according to Jos moving from that other Siberian outpost, Scotland). :)

    If we don’t sign another forward with pace, this transfer window has been total garbage. They sold our best player before the window opened, so we all knew we had money to spend. The club haven’t done their job properly. As it stands.

    Can't blame him for wanting out of Russia. In six months there's a World Cup, and there sure as hell won't be any Dutch there then.

    Andy King going to Swansea on loan. Another good signing

    Swansea have been busy. It's almost like they realise they're in trouble. They even seem to have back up options when transfers that were on the cusp of being completed fell through in the last minute. How novel.

    What is a back-up plan B or C? oh yeah, buy someone who's crap to keep the fans happy, never play him because he's crap and then get blamed 3 months later for panic buying someone who's crap

    You don't have a clue what you are on about, you seem to be just having a rant. Many many clubs go in for players and have a back up in mind. We don't and haven't for a while, people moaning about it are right to. Clubs should always have options.

    We didn't sell Van Dijk just a few days ago, we sold him the day the window opened. It does not take a whole window to look and bid for players that we want, hoping their team can get a replacement on deadline day. That is just **** business
