Any signings that we want eligible to play at 3.00pm on Saturday vs Norwich have to be on board with F.A. by 12.00pm in the afternoon tomorrow. No pressure, like, Levy.

Agreed. Whilst we have made some promising signings, looking at the bigger picture, and on the assumption VDV is headed back to Hamburg, if we do not sign a CM and CF, I just think this window will have been a failure.
If VDV stays (can't see it now), less importance on the CM, but either way, CF is an absolute must. We've known all summer, and still haven't addressed it. Defoe is not the answer, and this new contract is an odd move. Two strikers, one of whom can't play up top on his own, and a relatively untried Harry Kane, is not the strikeforce of a team with realistic top four ambitions.
After all the groundwork, Lloris must be completed too. What happened to the talk of 4pm medical..?
Failure to seal these, is quite frankly embarrassing. I know we are run very prudently to maintain a stable foundation, this is better than being in mountains of debt like other clubs, but if the powers that be truly expect us be competing for CL football, then the investment has to match the ambition. No point changing managers if he is not going to be given a squad with talent and depth capable of doing the job.

I'm still hopeful Levy will prove he's the man, and deliver the players required, but unfortunately the last few windows haven't quite panned out like that. Fingers crossed this time, with a new manager, he will be backed up.

Carefull mate, i said practically the same thing yesterday, and was called dumb twice!! oh and a few chosen words from that talky 86 geezer (summit like that) ive said all along if there is supposed to be a new direction at the club, then deals and players signed should of been done early.

So you've decided it's our fault (or specifically Levy's fault) that the Lloris 'deal' appears to have fallen through? It hasn't occurred to you that Aulas is renowned as a Grade A ****?
Sod Lloris, why is everyone preoccupied on what is a pretty pot luck position anyway. If he does a De Gea we will be out of the CL race before we start. It's all about the Mouts for more reasons than I have time to type.

I'd like all the toys collected up and put back into the pram ASAP.

Going into deadline day with a toyless pram is utter lunacy.

lyon's official site. although they didn't say it's off, just that it hasn't been agreed because we've offered less than we agreed a few days ago.


I thought Aulas said the other day that we had been back with a bid and it was now "all down to Hugo"? Basically saying that we'd agreed a deal with Lyon?

Wonder what AVB has thrown his toys out of the pram about. God forbid we should be told.
