The fact you're now looking for a pat on the back because the sky has fallen as you claimed only really adds to that image, to be blunt.

    But hey, you got proven right, the transfer window has sucked, you get to tell everyone "I told you so" and thats the important thing, I guess. I won't bother trying to be optimistic again.

    Friend of mine who’s a mad spurs fan and usually calls their deals, thinks Toby deal Will happen. Thinks spurs want to sell and Toby has burned his bridges with the manager.

    The issue is the usual. Levy. He will drag it out but ultimately spurs are happy to sell the player.

    The risk for spurs is real. If they don’t sell Toby they might get stuck with a player the manager doesn’t want or have to sell at a cut down price to the continent when EPL clubs are out of the equation.

    My mates convinced the deal will happen. Suppose like Berba deal!!

    fred is an excellent player, should have no problem playing in the league

    dalot, according to jose is the best young right back in europe. to say that is a big statement to make so we can only assume he is an excellent player.

    This transfer window has all the hallmarks of Woodward/Moyes 1st window where Fellaini was bought on the last day for over the odds..

    Darmian is still at the club despite Jose saying he was for sale. Rojo still there after being linked with Everton. Didnt Woodward say to buy a defender they had to sell first?

    Darmian will likely start on Friday.... bonkers

    I’m actually optimistic about this season.

    Would we not be better off with Young at RB (as he's naturally right footed)

    And Shaw on the left side?

    Time to start looking at alternatives from what we've got.
    Valencia seems to be getting more injury prone.

    Unless something comes totally out of the blue at this stage....we ain't signing a full back this summer

    Whats bonkers about it? First choice RB Valencia is out with a short term injury. Dalot, his understudy, is also short term injured. Young, first / second choice LB is short term out of action. Darmian can cover all of them in the short term,with time to still sell him. Seems prudent to me, not bonkers

    Agreed but I initially found it very slow in first half of first series. BCS feels like one long, slow walk sort of near B.B..

    God I miss B.B. now just thingy about it. Cranston was just immense.... Say my name!!!!

    Is that because Merl had a bag of blue meth and Darryl said something to the effect of he used to buy it from a skinny white guy that called everyone bitch?

    Its well before that. Think its the start of Season 2 (The episode on the road where Sophia runs away). T-Dog cuts himself and when Daryl goes rooting in Merles bike for meds you see a big bag of the blue Meth.

    He played something like just 6 times for Porto.

    He's not a ready made option for our first team.

    And is injured anyway so won't be available Friday night

    To develop a siege mentality you need a squad of players who will take outside criticism personally and who will then band together in their efforts to prove people wrong. Nothing about our squad makes me believe they have that sort of mentality.

    I'd like to be optimistic, and stranger things have happened than a group of professional footballers getting some luck and going on a good run of results.

    But this is a squad with some serious, long standing deficiencies that aren't going to go away overnight. If it was just about one or two players then perhaps we might get lucky and they might perform well enough to see some sort of success. But it isn't one or two players, its the right back that poisons our attack, the left back with no bottle, the non existent central defensive partnership, the star midfielder who doesn't want to bother, the non existent threat on the right wing, the complete lack of consistency from any of the deeper laying attacking options, the lack of alternative to Lukaku.

    Optimism would be hoping that one or two players could finally step up and be the answer to one or two of those problems. But it takes a hell of a lot of optimism to think that 6/7 players are all going to step up and answer all of those problems. Thats why a strong transfer window was so vital, to address as many of those issues as possible and let the intangibles cover the rest, a strong transfer window we did not get.

    The only optimism I have is that Jose raises some hell on his way out the door.

    Lets hope you're right.

    But I doubt he's ready to walk straight into the first team with just 6 senior games under his belt.

    In any case, the point made was about team selection for the Leicester game on Friday.....for which Dalot is injured and unavailable.

    It’s mad to think that the next 40 hours are so will probably decide whether Jose lasts the season or not(imo)

    No more additions and I see him gone before he he seasons out.
