guyavfc Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I wouldn't rule out Cleverley. Have faith in Harj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm okay with how the summer transfers have gone, I wasn't expecting anything really. Sanchez should prove to be a quality signing. We have a defence that doesn't get blown over by the wind and I feel we've dodged a bullet with missing out on Cleverley, I just don't see what he would add to us. My only slight concern is letting KEA go, as I thought he was a decent squad player to have around. Feeling positive though, the current squad feels stronger and we have two good players to come back from injury. It could be a lot worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Been looking for an attacking mid (you would assume) since before January, Nearly two windows later, and we still don't have one (I'm not counting Joe Cole). Poor show 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 tbf, after we signed Sanchez I assumed that would be it and treated anything else as a bonus. tbf, after we signed Sanchez I assumed that would be it and treated anything else as a bonus.

Stevo985 Posted September 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Pretty much every club has signed quality players in all areas that they needed to. We have significantly improved the defence but at the moment it looks like we have left ourselves short in midfield. KEA, Gardner, Sylla, Tonev, And Carruthers have all been allowed to leave but we have signed Sanchez, Richardson and Cole, with Grealish likely to be slowly introduced this season. Quite a disappointing end to what has been a decent window.but only 3 of those who left featured significantly last season, and they've been replaced by better players, especially with the reintegration of NZogbia and the freedom in defence to allow Bacuna to feature in midfield. We're stronger than last season. No the improvement hasn't been vast, but we are definitely stronger.

Poor show This. We have apparently bid for Kiyotake and Canales in the last 3 windows but now seem to be left with only Cole and Grealish. Needed to be a priority signing.

This was a real chance to build on the good feeling that was starting to come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForfarVillan Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looks like Lambert didn't even look at other players. What a naive man Lambert isn't famous for having a plan b is he? It's great to make things up and then judge people on it eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Look many are bound to be disappointed, its natural - we see other clubs around us on deadline day signing players that we think could have improved us. In reality we've done some tidy business, including Sanchez & Cissoko, who will definitely improve us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Can't wait for in a couple of months when the likes of Herd and Baker are starting to see everyones reaction then. Why on earth did we let KEA go...not the greatest...but did a reasonable job most of the time..we loose an experienced player for £800k...and no replacement.......as you say Herd is back in first team reckoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarpet Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Ah sod it, looks like thats it then. Still feels like a stronger squad to me than last season (once we have tekkers and libor back fit!) So who can pm me a link for these jlaw photos and video? Might as well have some excitement tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
