Like I said I hope your Dad's okay, I didn't mean to upset him, or you. :)

People getting moaned at for having concerns. It's starting to get like Twitter, whereby anyone has just the slightest of negativity to their opinion and they're told they're "having a meltdown"... It's not a meltdown, it's people tired of getting their hopes up and thinking "this window will be different", only for it to start to pan out into that all familiar territory of mediocrity, and possible let down.

Great post mate, you're bang on the money!!

You said:

So you are saying because we signed ndombele, this window will have lived up to the big build up, no matter what happens in the remainder of the window?

What big build up?

Telling other people to use a pinch of salt then ask me about a big build up (no clue what big build up) bit of a contradiction in terms, isn't it?

Breaking a glass ceiling on a player that most seemed to suggest was Poch's number one target (no idea about the rest of the squad) is pretty big and would rank highly considering he was also purchased before preseason. If the goalposts are being moved on what is and isn't big, then I better review the terms ...

You need to get laid Vinny....

What because of me posting on a football forum?

Fucking hell, that's low hanging fruit. Stick to agreeing with me when I post stuff that suits your views mate, it's easier.

Thing is, I still think we'll probably get this Lo Celso deal over the line, but I absolutely do not begrudge anyone who's having their doubts as we've all been here before with various targets in windows gone by. The excuses will get made if he doesn't come, but after hearing them year on year out, people are tired of it

I’m convinced there’s two people using one account
Nah, it was interesting though how you all reacted to me when I posted in the same vein and point of view as the rest of you though. Who knew the internet and a football forum could be so tribal.

Blimey @Vinny_Sammways_left_peg, your general levels of optimism/pessimism within the Transfer Rumours sub-forums in the last 12 months has been more up and down than a nun on a cucumber patch.

I was also starting to scratch my head on this exact point. Last week we were bedwetters... Together. Now it seems his abondoned ship and joined that other lot. What they called, oh yes happy clappers brigade.

Makes me chuckle that Yankspurs's comments are pretty much always the same but the ratings he receives changes from a bombardment of dislikes to winners as the window progresses. Happens every time.
I really like Hank as a poster. Don’t always agree with him but he’s got rhino thick skin, which I admire

I hope you're right about Lo Celso mate because at present, our squad is not big enough or good enough IMO. We lost over 20 games last season and that can't just be blamed on a World Cup hangover. We need greater depth and some extra bit of quality. Hopefully Levy will sort that in the next 9 days!!!

Oooooffff, I've had some stick for posting in a bigger font!! :) I genuinely don't know what the hell I did though, I didn't mean to do it... :facepalm:

Either way, away from the playground name calling & sarcasm, anybody who thinks we are acting like an ambitious club needs to be locked away in a rubber room. Levy is not backing Poch, and I personally think he will leave next Summer if this continues to happen.

we was told at the start we had 4 targets. if we get Sess and Lo Celso what in that is not backing? give me a good reason why we would buy both before they returned from injury and holiday, and can't train, or play in preseason, or even get to know their work mates when we are nowhere in the same country

I really hope we do get both of them & I'd be happy if we got them both to add to N'Dombele but at present I just can't see it. I get your point on the pre season etc but the fact is we're leaving things to last minute yet again and not doing what Poch clearly wants. Have we got a Plan B if we sign neither? Because I can't see us linked with anybody else at present? And it was quoted several times by Lyall Thomas and Alisdair Gold over the Summer that when Poch said we needed to act like a big club, he meant get our targets in as early as possible so they can get involved in his brutal pre season sessions. If we don't sign players until deadline day, they won't be up to scratch or fully fit for us for a good few weeks.

This is getting completely out of hand, how can people keep copy and pasting their opinion over and over in every thread, positive and negative. I haven't read anything relevant here for days, yet it feels like its grown by 100 pages.

It's just children infighting. Levy's economics. People who think they're being witty. Or meltdowns on Twitter.

Can't we get back on topic and post when there's something to discuss?

Sorry for contributing to the useless posts.

Betis have a training session early this evening, I am sure there will be some kind of update to as whether or not he trains with the main squad or on his own (It was posted this morning) other than that it'll be something in the press - it's all a big old waiting game.
