Maybe. It's certainly better than last season IMO, but I agree it would be good to have another quality AM in the squad.

Which won't come in Jan. Have to wait till summer

How about a present

If the right player was gettable at a non over inflated fee, it will be done this window. We all know how things are this particular time of year though as far as price tags to EPL clubs are concerned.

Any indication which positions are thought to need strengthening?

Yes, realistic strengthening fan base who don't become despondent 5 minutes into a match.

Right players are never gettable for a non over inflated fee! To get in our team they would have to be very very good, and no club will sell for non silly money. You want a player now you have to pay over the odds for him

I'm just glad we have millsy here to correct the ITKs.

 

[HotSprut]

Fazio is now at Roma permanently due to number of appearances

Exciting!

Is there anything more irritating than the words "Cheeky Bid" ? I suppose I could finish with "Discuss" but that would invalidate my post.

There is one thing more irritating than "Cheeky Bid". FACT!

I'll see your FACT, and raise you a smug 'Just saying'

Most of the time this is correct.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Our entire philosophy rests on finding players who are "gettable" and a candidate for the starting eleven. Not saying it is easy, but it's not true that we must sign players who are already really really good.

So we have been told that the club has lists of Poch preferred players in the positions he deems necessary to strengthen the squad. And these lists are used to try to buy players in the transfer windows. But how big are these lists, i.e. are there first choices, second, third, fourth, fifth choices ... how many levels do we go to? Also are there separate lists of players for now and players for the future?

I ask as it seems that we have not been that good recently in our acquisitions which makes me think we have had to go a long way down our lists

I think they're alphabetical.

Seems that way to me too but I appreciate every deal has it's own problems, my only worry is, long term, if we feel this frustration how long until poch feels it? I don't think the new stadium will be some kind of magic wand but is huge in our development, the next few years will be very precarious (imo). The end result can't come quick enough, massive time in the clubs history
