I agree. If we were to spend 21m on a striker, if hope it wasn't Berahino. My point was just on the sheer amount being spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Agree with what others have said about inflated fees/Berahino, but crikey what a truly depressing window! Best we can hope for now is a loan or two tomorrow by the looks of it. We are so lacking movement/pace etc in the final third it's untrue. What's the betting an hour before the window shuts we put an offer in for a player and make it public, knowing full well we don't stand a chance of getting it done - then someone from the club saying we tried!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 One thing we all have to agree on. Its going to be extremely poor in our position if we don't sign or loan anyone. It'll rubber stamp the fact they are planning for the Championship and have given up any chance of staying in this league. They have give us no hope of staying in this league. So I for one will not be going to another game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks more like they are planning for a new lower quality manager to come in over the summer who can "work within the framework of the club" IE: on the cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 well If they dont spend in the summer then we will drop another league and the club will be worthless and he will lose all chances of selling us for anything decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one where we got rid of our best two players, replaced them with crap and went on to waste the money left over from replacing them was the worst window ever.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Good on you. Just need a few thousand more to realise they are being taken for mugs. It's too late, I've already bought and paid for my season ticket. I shouldn't renew on principle, but on balance I feel like the team need my support. It's a tough one. I completely understand people voting with their feet at this stage, it's a **** joke. I despise Lerner. Vehemently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 DDiD: don't blame you. I totally understand the quandary: you support the team wearing the shirt. Lerner should not confuse this with support for his shocking running of affairs atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The issue for me is even if we go down our current squad would be at best average in the Championship, the same lack of quality will haunt us just as much in that division as it is now. Appreciate Gestede would fair better and we would possibly have Amavi and Traore back. But really we struggled against Wycombe and we are likely to lose a few players to newly promoted/foreign or even mid table Premiership chancers when we go down. Our youth system hasn't delivered anything significant in a long time, from the last lot I can't see Gardener, Robinson or Baker doing much, although who knows maybe they could end up the core of our team, would be a crap team but there you go. The up coming crop could fair better but none have even had loans yet. I imagine a lot of players will have to leave before any funds are made available and it won't be all the funds. But relegation or no relegation the balance of the squad is all wrong and that needs to be addressed. We don't even have players who can cross a ball let along ones that can score from that ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I still respect the team, well most of them. There is just no ambition for the rest of the season, an that's what is keeping me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing shout. We have been crying out for a player of his ilk for years. The MLS doesn't start until March so we could have struck some kind of deal IF we had a competent board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
