Welbeck offers nothing that Townsend or Lennon don't, that's my issue, he does the same as them, pace with no end product and poor composure, we will be replacing average for average.

Welbeck offers the same sort of qualities that Poch appreciates as JRod. He works hard, tracks back, presses the opposition, has pace from the wide left and can score goals (not as many as i'd like mind). If he fits the system then i'm happy for him to join up.

Right, that's it. One more of these oh woe is me posts and i'll let Stoof loose with the site buttplug.

At least wait until the window has closed and we know where we are before crying like babies about it.
Can that include any Bale chat or levy should have invested in the champions league season?

Just have to look at Townsends contribution last season to know he isn't good enough. Sad but true. I appreciate he's spurs through and through but so were Dawson, Huddlestone, Defoe and Livermore. Sometimes sentiment can cloud judgement

Sorry to go on.

But when we had champions league football we really should of gone out for a top striker then. Instead of Peter Crouch! (Like him, done a job, but we really could of and should of get better)

Then bang....

All goes down hill.. and here we are.. Danny Wellbeck!

We wont get a chance to learn from this massive mistake but I bet Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis are regretting their actions now.

Was hoping we might of had a bit of itk by now pinky of someone, anyone who would really improve our starting 11. Just the same old names being mentioned that don't really inspire me.

Mate, fair enough :)

I'll cheer you up with some irrational positivity when I get started on these beers!!

JRod is a much better player though mate, that's the difference really, the improvement isn't enough to be paying £5M to have him on loan, it's just a waste of money and £5M that could be going towards a top forward.

Because its deadline day i've shown hitherto unheard of levels of mercy but that's just encouraged some pretty blatant piss taking so this is the last time, i'll just remove the access from anyone taking the piss now.

So if you want to moan about our transfer window, wait until its closed.

If you want to compare player abilites of Welbeck against Lennon or whover, take it to the players thread.

In here we have ITK. If it isn't related, don't post it. There are literally hundreds of members who don't want to see this shit.

We won't be paying 5 mill to loan him. No chance in hell

Southampton linked with Diego Capel (BBC)... Townsend alternative, I'm guessing.

Knock on effects for our business.

(As well as a nice blast from windows past)

Its 3 league games that they will miss, piss all.

ACN is not a factor

Its potentially 6 league games and possibly 2 FA Cup games and potentially 2 Carling semi finals dependant on progression of their respective nations...any player participating in the ACN will leave on the 1st January for pre tournament training with the rest of their national squad, as Adebayor did last time, and will not return potentially until mid February...in those 6 league games, we will play Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea...the game before they pop off to their pre training in December, is Man Utd. Its not something to be taken lightly.

Tbh,I'd much prefer Jrod, but there's no guarantee we'll get him in Jan and we need someone in now.

I'm not exactly excited at the prospect of Wellbeck, but it's better than nothing.

EDIT : just seen A & C's had enough, so I'll say no more on the subject!
