What the hell is going on at the club??!!?!? We havent even completed the surely easy deal for the sub keeper yet? We cant complete the deal for N/Koudou. It is acting like a small club in my opinion

Who says they aren't done ? You mean they aren't announced yet. I don't think it is being cynical, as many others have suggested, to postulate that the announcement is being held up in case we don't sign anyone else (highly likely) to try and pacify the fans with a deadline day signing.

But my original point was that we can't compete with the money bags teams in terms of signings, so which of our other rivals have strengthened better than us? You didn't/couldn't answer that so just replied that they're our rivals on the pitch, to which i replied as above.

So in "simply stating that the money bag teams are our rivals... I never mentioned anything else?!" you're completely missing or choosing to ignore my original point.

And if you think we're not competing on spreadsheets as well as/if not more than on the pitch, you're even more naive than I first thought. Those players running around don't grow out of the pitch you know, we've got to get them from somewhere, and that usually involves money.

Is it slowly sinking in Captain?

WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU ON ABOUT???

where am I ignoring the point of your post? Here's what it said (from start to finish may I add)

"People keep saying that our rivals have strengthened while we've stood still. Other than the money bags teams, which of our rivals have strengthened more or better than us?"

You made ONE point and that's what I responded too by saying that "Those money bag clubs are our rivals"?! So which bit of the above did I exactly choose to ignore?

Secondly: We are not competing on spreadsheets with other teams... we keep our own club in order, make sure we're sensibly run and live within our means, because that's how we choose to operate, weather other clubs overspend or make profit is none of our concern. We don't get a blue Peter badge for being better run than them, it's how we choose to run our club.

So how exactly is that naive of me???

We're so slow that at this moment, I don't know if we'll sign Nkoudou in time

Chill. Levy was cool with us going through last season with just one striker. I doubt having just 2 goalies will give him sleepless nights. If he can nick him for a fiver he will.

Besides, Kane can fill in goal if needs be, especially now we've got cover up top in Janssen.

And these pathetic last minute low bids for key players from other clubs just takes the piss. Hopefully Levy has something up his sleeve.

Our transfer window is so tiresome...
Why not sign & announce the players who already joined us in training...

Sorry, I made these three words bold because they weren't very clear in your original post.

Not going to lie, I thought the Pau signing made sense with a view to the long-term. But not sure why we'd need to sign Diego Alves if it didn't go through?

I predict those deals will be announced very late into the deadline, as a way of trying to distract us from our failure to sign anybody else.
