As predictable as Monday coming before Tuesday, before the annual barrage of abuse at Levy, can I please remind those who hate upon him that he's only worth £25m. Joe Lewis however, £3.5bn.

I think we know where fingers need to be pointed for a lack of transfer investment.

£25 for a cup game is hardly a lot. A season ticket is not that much more than an annual gym membership in some cases.
That depends if you live around the corner or not.

£25 to me is about 2 weeks food money and that is alot.

Even more examples of the general hilarity of this place on deadline day... A few days ago we hear that Poch acknowledged and was content, no even happy, that the club had tried to get targets and had gone beyond the valuations agreed for these players. On here it was met with general acceptance and a feeling that we had tried and you don't want to pay really stupid money and get ripped off... Now its deadline day, a defeat fresh in the memory, and a case of why didn't we just pay lots of money!!!!!!!!!!!?

:LOL:

After the embarrassment of yesterday we all hoped for a pick me up signing today, particularly one who would perhaps have the guile and craft in bigger games. Can't wait to City/Chav games.

Hardly. All Ive heard is we were after some defenders and that Poch was generally happy with the squad, bar MS and JR, who we will go for in Jan. Obviously we had a bit of interest in the likes of Wellbeck but lets not assume we were desperate to get a striker in. It just suits many to think that, in spite of the information you have been given.

I'm talking about instances back in the spring, such as Lukaku's agent and the Dnipro Chairman stating Levy had been in talks.

It was obvious the illustrious transfer committee had highlighted our attacking deficiencies.

Lennon...Townsend...5 DMs who can't pass forwards...dearth of pace / penetration in our starting forward line

Just staggered we knew this and did NOTHING about it.

Let me see. End of last season and through the summer pre season, the majority of you said now that we had Mopo all we need to do is to strengthen the defence with emphasis on CB and LB, release a few of the midfield go as we were overstocked in that department. All this was done, but fast forward to today and it seems the Samaritans may have to be on Standby. And you lot have the gall to mock other Fans?

I am probably one of the few who will sleep well tonight, eagerly waiting the end of this international break.

Just hijack the Huntelaar deal please

If Wenger is offering him 90k a week offer him 110k

We need a signing that gives us a shot at CL

Your a deluded fool if you think huntelaar would fire us into the champions league

If people listened to JJ they wouldn't have had these high expectations. The fans do it to themselves because they're fucking masochists.

No because they are fucking morons who are so desperate to be like chelsea and man city fans, that they actually become angry when spurs fail to match their daydream.... tough shit to each and every one who feels disgruntled or dispirited at this TW, either live with it or dont, I couldnt give a toss.....

Everton upgraded massively? Their one big buy was already there on loan last season - nearly £30m to tread water. We'll probably still be competing with Everton for 6th and chomping at the heels of 5th, which is about right given our resources.

Everton have Eto'o

Ok not the player he was but he still averaged 1 in 3 at Chelsea, mostly from the bench, at everton he will be a regular, sure of 15 goals this season

At least we've managed to keep hold of Lloris and Vertonghen, who I hope we will announce him signing a new deal shortly.

Also, I'm glad we didn't part co pay with Chiriches and if Dembele can find his mojo again then he is still a fantastic talent.

It's always the hope that kills you in transfer windows but we've got an awful lot to look forward to and for Poch to bring out the best in what we have coupled with maybe a few more promising youngsters blossoming in Cebellos and Veljkovic.

Chin up lads!
We will keep them for this season , honestly think they'll be here when we finish 6/7th ?

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

We kept all 7 of last year's signings despite a fair bit of speculation about their departures.

This is a very good thing IMO.
