Lads, with less than 2 weeks of the window to go, our net spend is less than 5m quid. We have spent 21m net on Gil while Romero and Gollini have both been brought in on loan. We have sold Foyth, Toby, Cirkin, Joe Hart and one or two other youngsters.

Players such as Aurier, Docherty, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Winks and Sissoko have yet to be moved on and are still stinking the place out.

The season has started and our squad is still severely lacking in several positions yet our new DOF is still taking weeks upon weeks to negotiate what should be relatively straightforward transfers - Tomiyasu for example.

And there remains huge question marks over our best player by far who clearly wants out.

Don’t let last Sunday’s result fool you. We are in a fucking mess. And anyone thinking ENIC are going to show the desire and ambition to sort it out are clearly dillusional.

Levy talks the talk about wanting success but clearly doesn’t have the ambition or ability to make it happen. Let’s see if he can prove me wrong in the coming days! I hope so but won’t be holding my breath.

A net spend this window of less than 5m so far - fuck me!!!!

Forget about net spend and look at the quality of the players. Romero and Gollini will cost us a fair amount.

Sanchez and Dier were both very good in our clean sheet against the champions so not currently “stinking the place out.”

If there’s no interest in our underperforming players what do you want us to do?

Granted Sanchez was decent against city but that is not usually the norm. Winks has been awful for 4 different managers now so how the hell is he still getting games. He isn’t good enough. We all know it so just get rid of him. Everton and Villa have both shown interest in the last few weeks. He needs to understand he has no future with us. We should swap him for the next up and coming young thing from the lower leagues as that is HW’s level.

There has been interest that’s the thing. Seville and Ajax both interested in Sanchez apparently and Everton and Villa like Winks for some bizarre reason. Use them in a swap deal or just take whatever we can get rather than see them cost us time and again. Harry Winks - come on man seriously!

Winks has only played in the Europa Conference League. We reportedly want rid but there also reports that he wants to stay.

Of course we want rid of our deadwood. Everyone does but it's not always easy to sell.

There's reported interest but no confirmed offers.

Do you really think that just because we rid they are automatically sold?

Ok, I’m heading to bed so just to draw a line under things …

every little thing I’ve mentioned in post #3 is bang on true.

our best player wants to leave

our record signing wants to leave

the new season is already underway

we need better players at RB, CB, CM and CF.

we need to replace 7 Players who have continually failed to make the grade yet still pick up substantial wages

our new manager who is just through the door is already calling for new additions to his squad

our new Dof takes over a month to complete a deal. There is less than 2 weeks to go in the current window!

Our owners have so far invested less than £5m this window yet continue to expect us to be challenging for a CL spot.

Clubs like Leicester continue to show us how things should be done by backing their manager and investing in the best young talent.

we finished 1 point above the goons who now have a net spend of £120m

good night ladies …

I really wish all you Levy apologists would wake the fuck up!!!!!!
