Who still thinks we have had a good transfer window?

    I'm not concerned, I think you're a bullshitter who comes on whenever he thinks his whinging will attract a few comments.

    There are plenty of people, on here, who come on however things are ......... the likes of you choose your moment carefully.

    I've no respect for people like you.

    I think the linesman has to judge whether or not Kaboul would have played the ball if the attacker wasn't behind him. As far as I could see, Kaboul was totally unaware that the attacker was behind him, so he would have played the ball anyway. The attacker being in an offside position didn't have any influence as the defender was not aware he was even there. Therefore, as soon as Kaboul touches the ball it's a new phase of play, so not offside. It's such a mess of a rule but that's what I've understood of it, Marcus probably disagrees. If Kaboul only played the ball to stop it reaching the attacker then it's unquestionably offside, I don't think that was the case though.

    I agree with cests evaluation of our recent recruitment. I don't rate kaboul, and although Coates played very well at the end of last season, I think he needs some experience alongside him, but not kaboul.

    I absolutely agree that we need 3 new signings, and that includes a centre half. It's so fustrating, because whilst the clubs around us bring in quality, we scrimp and scrape and end up with 2nd and 3rd rate players.

    I voiced my concerns when we signed kaboul, and Saturday come as no suprise to me, he can play a few decent games, but he will always have a mistake in him.

    Our squad is the worst in the premier league currently, and we are in desperate need of quality.

    I think Coates produced the goods when he was told by DA to stick to clearing the ball no matter what and drop the SAmerican style. Tucked tight in near JOS worked a treat for the last half dozen games but trying to play his way out of trouble caused us more bother than we could handle.

    Every one of the "ins" have played for their country's senior team surely this must improve the squad

    You missed Giacc.

    Yeah, defo improvement. It's all I asked before the window. Defence could have been better but that would have required more funds. Congerton and Dick should be applauded for bringing in these players on a budget
