it would be the biggest of all bluffs if we pulled anything out of the bag tomorrow.

 

If we sign any sort of major players tomorrow, I think we could get the money back by sending Lambert on a world poker tour.

Probably is BS. But looking at the dudes profile he doesn't post much. The last thing he spoke about was Sissoko 2 weeks ago. 

 

So 100% BS then..... just pulling out random names and hoping they sign to make himself look good.

What dead wood us left? Given? Ireland? Dunne is a debateable one as the manager seems very keen to bring him in.

Who else? Truth is, there isn't much "dead" wood left. There's some expensive wood in N'Zogbia, Gabby and Bent but this is wood that has been of much use to us over the past few weeks. Premier league quality wood. Perhaps the last piece, Bent, is the most expendable and if it means we can strengthen other areas then we should move it on ASAP.

Reality is our wage bill isn't half as high as it once was. We must be circling near this £55m a season mark now with promise to remove more in the summer (Dunne at least) and we will shift Bent if not now then in 5 months time.

There should be nothing holding them back adding another couple on £50k a week. Logical speculation.

Fingers crossed.

We've certainly shifted a lot of the deadwood already, but for me we still need to get rid of Warnock, Hutton, Given and Ireland (not sure when Hutton's / Warnock's contracts are up). 

 

As you say, the wage bill must have come down a lot over the last 3 years and it is worrying that we still need to lower it further, as it's hard to see how we could keep a quality squad. With the wages of the above players allocated elsewhere, it may be possible, but if they're simply eliminated as costs and not spent on other players, well, we're left with what we have and that's a worrying prospect.

Yep..nothing yet. I hate myself. I know I am gonna be sitting here tomorrow waiting for something to happen, then end up dissapointed. I almost feel like anything would do, but obviously that is very short sighted. Whoever, if we are even getting one, he should have an impact straight away. We need someone like sissoko for bannan for sure. A new LB would be nice also. Anything on the midfield is always welcome. Heck, anything just get us someone ffs
