We should not be in that position but the reality is we are. Keep moaning about it is not going to change things

Totally agree with this. Fuck it. I wanted a target man but it didn't happen. Now you got 2 choices. You can either cry like a bitch, which changes nothing, or face it and see what happens. Such is life fellas.
As Jesus said if you can fix it, why worry, if you can't fix it, why worry.

Told you all from the onset we would only do loans with creative accounting. Hence Fernandes 18 months deal, and Bergwijn that has a weird payment structure, which was offset by Eriksen deal. Doubt it would of happened had he stayed until the summer.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the new set of accounts to show us why we are so skint. Thanks for your info today herc, it’s been invaluable.

I might try for some creative accounting when submitting my ST renewal application. I’m thinking 60% and then the rest payable based on a series of clauses.

Bet things would have looked far different if son could hit a cows arse with a banjo instead of looking like a busted flush throughout January. Shame we didn’t get a striker but we’ve enough quality or at least we should have. Is the fact son is currently shite or that moura can’t beat a man one on one also down to levy?

I get it’s a balance but until joe decides to give a shit about the results on the pitch we’re stuck in a loop. getting mourinho showed ambition but until the spending matches that ambition nothing’s going to change.

Wonder how long before Jose gets the hump with Levy. Who could blame him too.

Said a while back, first flash point will be the summer window. He isn't a idiot and has been around long enough to know how Levy works. Obviously seeing it first handnow. However when he took the job, it was a case of the right role at the right time for him imo. He'll have his eye on something else soon enough. It's a matter of when rather than if, when it comes to the wheels falling off with him working under Levy and ENIC.

The positive to draw from all of this is at least we are buying players again and we clearly can’t buy everything we want all in one go as they aren’t available at the right price. And why pay through the nose for average players, if other desperate clubs want to, let them crack on...and lets not forget, after all, it’s only a game.....

Different how? He is not a type of player Jose wants as no 9. Son getting few goals in at Jan would have just given Daniel an excuse for failure and it looks like he doesn't need excuses

We wanted Piatek, he wanted to come. We wanted a loan to minimise the risk.

But what’s the risk of playing 4 months without a senior striker? 25 million on piatek (albeit a risk) is nothing compared to if we lose ucl footy.

Personally extremely glad we didn’t shell out 25m on him. I just don’t rate him at all. My Polish friends were laughing their heads off.what I call a meh signing
