Im generally hinting that I want us to ensure that when (see me being positive again) we buy someone I would rather we spend wisely and on people that Bale, Verts and Loris are going to look at as investment and upgrade to the overall talent pool of the squad. For years we have bought bit part players almost for the sake of buying and because they were available. If it takes another month but we bring in quality I will be happy. If its the 31st August and we are buying used cars then not only will I be bald but rather annoyed at a certain trio of management.

I think with levy in charge wisely is an understatement as im sure he weighs up whether to tip the paperboy or not mostly not but I'm not a fan of this last day bollocks I don't see what is to be gained by it.

If we want someone fucking buy them not wait to see if you can get a markdown it leaves us with very limited time to negotiate if it goes tits up which Is likely.

We cant be an easy club to deal with the policy that we adopt and how frustrating for the coach/manager to not be able to complete his squad until last day shenanigans are played out.

Generic WTF should we do post coming up (hey it's quiet): ;)

There was some info earlier in the window that suggested we wanted 2 experienced players and 4 young uns, and somebody else alluded to us wanting 3 players.
In truth, I think 2/3 players is about how short we are of being a genuine top side, so a couple of choice upgrades (Paulinho/Villa) could make the world of difference. We're not gonna sign 6 players and change the entire team; there's no need, particularly in defence. I think the general consensus is we'll go 4-3-3 next year and to my mind there's vacancies in our first 11 on the right of midfield (allowing for Lennon being more of a winger & maybe upgradable) and on whichever flank of a front 3 that Bale isn't on (ie. Bale plays wide right of a 3, Villa comes in on the other side). I'm happy to play Ade if that 3rd member of a front 3 is purchased, but obviously wouldn't turn down another striker or have Villa through the middle & sign a Bernard to play left forward.

So there we are: shift a load of dead wood; sign a quality midfielder & 1 or 2 forwards. It's not ridiculous to presume & shouldn't kill us on prices, just as long as we don't miss and those we've targeted come.
We are targeting the right players & hopefully Baldini can be the guy that makes them happen.

Three players in is not enough imo when we need two forwards midfield cover and probably another centre half and maybe a left back.

Depends which Ade turns up. last 3 games of the season he was very good IMO. Would be happy to keep that version of him. So could get away with one solid CF (Villa) MF ( Paulinho) then a couple of promotions from the U21 Very happy indeedie

Don't call me happy, you should have fucking stayed with her :whistle:

EDIT: Seriously, in your original post to me, were you talking about me or yourself? If it was me, that means you know me :sneaky:
