It does if the one in is better than the one out.No. One in one out doesn't help us with squad depth. We know youngsters won't break through so for the same of £20m keep him. And he is a good player.

Yeah, we probably won’t miss you as much…Might do a Trix tbf. Threads are filled with mung.
Maybe, just maybe, that’s how transfer windows are for the majority of clubs. Transfers are difficult, they often get scuppered, delayed, have ups and downs throughout the process. They are multi million pound transactions with a large number of parties involved.We brought in Paratici and was told he was going to be dealing with transfers and that Daniel Levy was taking a step back. I tell you what - this transfer window is strangely very similar to all the transfer windows I can remember in the last twenty years.
We're going to lose Paratici and Conte at the end of the season aren't we?
No but it improves the squad. Presumably can't afford to have both, Stevie is homesick, one of the few assets who is wanted for decent money, hasn't contributed that much in his 2 years. If money wasn't a factor he'd be a useful player to keep but in the circumstances it's a no-brainer. Diaz is a lot betterNo. One in one out doesn't help us with squad depth.

So just think that nothing will happen and be pleasantly surprised and grateful when it does.Stage 1: We'll say nothing is going to happen in January.
Stage 2: We'll say that maybe some deals will happen in January, but that we should do nothing.
Stage 3: We'll say maybe there is a player we should sign, but there is nothing we can do.
Stage 4: We'll say maybe there was something we could have done, but its too late now.
Nah!Maybe they just have lives
Oil never understand that humourI'm glad the Adama saga is finally over. It means we don't have to read any more juvenile posts about baby oil.
The old school managers have pretty much been replaced as well, the younger ones want to try and build a club up with good football high energy so that will get a chance at a top club.Between ENIC taking over and up until circa 2012 things actually worked out for us. We usually had a lot of players being branded as "deadweight". This was for a variety of reasons. We had a rapid rise which meant we outgrew certain players, sometimes players got old or just lost form. Sometimes they just weren't the right fit.
However, we always managed to sell flog them off for - at the time - big fees to the likes of Stoke, while also managing to get upgrades. Lots of these deals were made late - with success.
After 2012 things have gotten progressivly worse. I dont know if its because of the market changing or us being in a different place in the food chain or the fact that all clubs scout players different than 10 years ago (more stats and so on). But this scatter gun approach hasn't really worked for quite some time. Not sure its 100 % about not paying the price, but it feels like we're essentially wheelin' and dealin' in a way that is a thing of the past.
Yeah it rubbed me up the wrong wayI'm glad the Adama saga is finally over. It means we don't have to read any more juvenile posts about baby oil.
Can people just use the ignore button on each other rather than arguing or making the same posts over and over. Cheers ??
Hooray! Finally we can pull the trigger on Amrabat!
