I cringe when i here posters say save the meltdown for Tuesday. Really... No DM. No alternative to Kane. I think its the posters who have been so Cock sure that Peace was just bluffing and wanted a higher price. The thing is i cannot rationalize or comprehend that thinking. What is the difference between letting him go last week vs monday or tuesday. I cringe at the irrational thinking.

I find the lull in activity disconcerting. It is painfully clear that in order to compete and look after our young striker we need recognized cover plus a solid DM. The level of pressure Kane will be under if we dont bring in someone to spell him will have an adverse affect. It is far too much to ask of even a legend in the making like harry. I have my fingers crossed that the folks in charge are aware of this too and will make sure we arent screwed come 6pm on tuesday.

Is there a lull?

I guess it has been nearly 48hrs since we unveiled a new player whom we had no real idea about until it was as good as done.

but some 'specials' think we should be signing someone every 48 hours of the window for us to be deemed as 'active in the transfer market'.

One bit of ITK from Ben and people are so negative.

Levy won't even emerge from his lagoon until Tuesday afternoon.

I know everyone wants additions to the squad especially CF and DM but if we cant get the quality of player that we need should we buy just for the sake of it?
Why buy a Song or Austin instead of the players the manager appears to want?
We'll be in a similar situation to the one we're coming out of this window.
IE: needing to sell them to buy whom MP wants!

I disagree, we shouldn't be in a position where we are thinking of buying players for the sake of it. There are plenty of players out there who would not fall into that category that we supposedly passed on. Let's see how the next two days pan out but it would be a monumental fcuk up if we have only Kane as a striker.

Am quite exited becos it's only another 48 hours or less and we will know if it's good or bad. Previous TW we were hoping for a surprise but this time around we have to deal.

Interesting. I have a strong feeling that we won't end up with anybody. I want us to sign another striker as N'Jie and Son don't seem to be #9s and I really feel we need an out and out goalscorer to replace and rotate with Kane. Both look like they have goals in them but I'm not sure about how they'll handle playing up top on their own if Kane is out or not in form.

As for the midfielder. I still think we need a good DM/CM, I really do. Either a creative ballplayer or a tackler. Dier is doing well as a makeshift DM and Bentaleb has good moments, but neither are good enough to be in that position regularly if we want to be top 4 challengers. Can't see anyone that's available though.

Yep
Poch's comments about Dier 'excelling' as a DM sound like he's preparing the fans. For no DM. And another 55 goals conceded. With all sorts of hilarious defending tales to tell come the end of the season.

But you never know...!

I find the clamouring for a defensive midfielder slightly odd, we are shorter of creativity in my opinion.

Are we confusing defensive with someone who will pick the ball up from the defense and set the tempo?

What are you asking us for, we haven't got a bloody clue.

To be fair I agree with Poch about Dier. After seeing his performance yesterday I think if anything it's a playmaker we need in CM more than a DM.

Striker situation on the other hand is desperate. As others have said, one proper CF after the window closes is nothing less than incompetence. Even a loan signing for the season or until Jan is the minimum we need to do.

Still, the window hasn't shut just yet.
