"The transfer window has closed. David Beckham is a PSG player. Nacho Monreal has just become an Arsenal player. Chris Samba, Jermaine Jenas and Andros Towsend are QPR players. Jack Butland is a Stoke goalkeeper. Peter Odemwingie has turned into a pumpkin."

Ok we missed out on Robinson for reasons unknown but we should have had other options as a back up.
It's not just about today it's the whole window. Personally we should have signed a GK & LB but we can cover those positions.
It's not as bad as some would make it seem

Robinson could still get his contract cancelled by mutual consent and sign for us, Blackburn were willing to let him go, but the haggle was with the pay off, not so much Henderson going the to them, they want him off the wage bill, and he doesnt want to stay.

I feel Butland was one that could have been. Esp as he signed for Stoke. They now have three good keepers, and we have...

Keepers can move outside of the window I think.
It's one of the many grey areas.

If Jussi gets sick (he hasn't caught anything else all season so not likely) or injured we can sign emergency cover.

Probably the biggest value decision made this window is that Quintin Tarantino is gonna make his next film in Stoke

Our squad is better than it was at the start of the window... so for me I am happy. We need constant improvement now revolution at this stage.

Now we just need a win... to bring back confidence... to increase that gap again... to settle some nerves.

A distracted Swansea at home are just what the doctor ordered :thup:

Harry distances himself from any responsibility of a player driving half the country and turned away at the door. Clearly he went on a random drive.

Odimwatsit with tail shoved firmly up hole has to return to WBA and face the music – beautiful……

Diarra – clearly a fallout with powers that be and who knows what’s really gone on.

Can’t understand the noise by some given the known circumstances of our recent past – and whilst there’s a change in our fortunes on the pitch, I’d rather get behind what we have than whine about the spending of others.

Stoke – 100m spunked on what? If they got 20m back ……? And after 5 years….a full sack of ****.

As for our dealings – we did them early and they were the best we could afford/come right now.

12th place awaits.
Premiership survival for 5 years and at least another one to come and all the money that brings in :o

We dont need to sign an "emergancy keeper" if he gets injured. We have that 24 hour re call condition again.

Does it matter or not if Henderson is in the 25 man squad or not?

Henderson IS in our 25 man squad (as this is a premier league thing) then he can be loaned out and play for ipswich. Then if we recall him we can play him anytime

I think the two key moves of the window are the fact that Diame didnt leave and that Maiga is still here! he can offer us something different and does score.

Is there anywhere you can bet on Odemwingie(sp) going to a turkish club before their window closes?
