    Sakho was told he could go in January, went at the end. Ayew wanted to go, Swansea got him at the end.
    Arsenal spent all January trying to get their man and Chelsea had a list as long as your arm of their targets and got Giroud on the last day. They couldnt get any of their targets.
    Man City wanted Sanchez but coukdnt get him.
    Why people think we can just go in and say we want the player and that player and it's as easy as that.

    Arsenal.


    I wonder if, with this kind of thing being so prevalent throughout the football world in all countries and all leagues, it is not so much an indication of ineptitude or miserliness. It is just a combination of factors like tactics, changing requirements, personal animosities, brinkmanship, people changing their minds, cutting your losses and a bunch of other stuff we wot not of. Just the nature of the beast.

    People who don’t deliver often blame everything under the sun. You see it an awful lot in the workplace too.

    As far as I am concerned, did sully try?? I expect he tried extremely hard. Personally though I don’t care about that

    Ultimately he came up short. Twice in a row.

    Moyes saying he expected salami deal to be done and woke up weds to find it was off and the loan deal didn’t go through because we couldn’t commit to the deal without seeing much of him play which I find strange as to why you would want him in the first place

    I think Slimani hasnt been given a lot of chance. If you go to Leicester you must know you're going to be behind Vardy and the style of play that suits him (as with Spurs, you have to get past Kane).

    However, unless it really was just a loan, then I think they would've asked a large fee. I'm happy we paid significantly less for Jordan. From his words I'd say he'll be 100% committed and give us a different dimension which may help Hernandez whilst Arnies out.

    As I mentioned I’m happy with Jordan think he might just be one of those better suited to the premier league with better players around him just a hunch

    On the season... It's been a bit on the traumatic side. However, I think Moyes will make us better and there have been signs of that already.

    Once Arnie, Lanzini are back (we'll also have Reid and Fonte back soon) if Antonio can be injury free and turn up on time (with no attitude if rumours are to be believed) I can see

    Arnie Jordan Antono with Lanzini Mario behind being pretty decent


    Adrian
    Byram Reid Ogbonna Cresswell Arthur (Rice Fonte Zab Ginge)
    Mario Lanzini Kouyate Nobes (Obiang Zab again in short term)
    Antonio Jordan Arnie (Hernandez Carroll maybe. His wages off bill would be good though)

    I think we have the makings of a creative and powerful team going forward. A couple of signings in the summer (maybe even DM ;wink ). I wonder on Carroll and Antonios future. We'll also need another GK (Hart wages off bill would be nice too) Despite not wanting Moyes, I think he'll do a good job

    I should just bite it and change my handle. If he was ever even going to come on loan to us it wouldve been this window...

    Is 'Adrián San Miguel del Baztillo' too long a handle Grey?

    He was never going to come to us in this window because frankly he would have had a whole host of far better options - such as the one he has picked.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    logic had nothing to do with it! I had the handle, the least he could've done was make it legit ;wahoo

    ;hmm

    So we had £25m to spend.

    Dendoncker, who Moyes has said we were after, was available at £18m.

    Am I missing something?

    I'd imagine that an offer for Allen was probably structured over the term of the contract, less up front, performance dependant clauses, etc. Which is essentially what we offered for Dendoncker but were rebuffed.
