Then don't invite ridicule. Your comment about the seasons transfer policy being underwhelming if we don't sign this player or that player to add to this superb transfer window is just plain stupid.

Don't be ridiculous. He's hardly 'inviting ridicule' by suggesting that if we sell our best player and don't properly replace him (for the second season running by the way) then that's a failure. It would be a complete fucking disaster if that happened.

My BIG concern is that if Bale goes then we need at least Lamela. We need a scorer. That was obvious from today's game. Willian might be considered a decent player but he's not a scorer. So if it's Willian then it has to be him plus Lamela or a scorer of his quality. Otherwise I fear for a disappointing season. We need a player to open up defences AND a player to score some goals - apart from Soldado.

On top of that I'd like to add that the ITKs seem to be of two different camps - Bale is off and Bale is staying. I wonder whether one camp has some association with the player and another with the Club. Would be interesting to know...

He's right though. Clearly I'm just ”plain stupid” for wanting to see how this (so far brilliant) window turns out before assessing whether or not we've been left weaker or stronger overall.

I'm now sat in the corner with my dunce hat on, and trying to lick my elbows.

Has anyone else noticed the lucazade adds that Bale is on now? I wonder if that is one of the deals that Mystery was talking about a few weeks ago?

Stupid? Try reading my post and show me where I said it would be ”underwhelming”. Not sure how you can talk about inviting ridicule or throw around insults when you're incapable of reading and understanding the content of posts you want to bitch about..

Sorry for quoting "underwhelming" the actual words you used were "success or failure". Comedy gold.

He's been with Lucozade for awhile now. He and Ox did a commercial together a few months back.

So do you think selling our best player and not replacing him would be a successful window? We made some brilliant signings last summer, but I considered it a failure due to the fact that we didn't replace the creativity of Modric and VDV, and ultimately left the team more unbalanced and weaker than before the window opened.

I feel the same about this window. Great signings so far, but if we don't replace Bale we'll be seriously lacking in attacking midfielders, and AVB will struggle to play a decent 443 formation, which would leave us worse off than before the window opened.

You're not very good at this whole opinion-giving are you? Best just stick to throwing around insults.

Storts record this window is very impressive. So far he's called Soldado, Paulinho and Chadli, and predicted that Hudd and BAE would both leave. The only blemish so far is suggesting that we might sigh Leandro but I wouldn't bet against that as a late deal. Basically if he's suggesting Willian might sign then it looks very good.

Tomorrow should definitely bring some interesting news. Willian's potential decision, Parker appears to be getting closer to Fulham now and there's still the mystery of BAE/Coentrao going on.
