This is just an observation. We spent no money in this transfer window ie. The amount spent equalled the amount received for players sold. If you add in last January's window, we are ahead by about £10 million. All the other contenders for the top four spent close to £100 million each and they all finished above us last year. CL qualification is rumoured to be worth £20 million. Mr.Levy is more entent on keeping a healthy balance sheet then he is on investing big in the hope of qualifying for the CL. I would have paid the £24 million for Bony. He is a top class goal scorer and suits the premier league style of play. I expect him to be worth £50 million within two years. I do not think we have any chance of CL qualification. 5th or 6th at best.

But i'm sure Little Joe Louis is glad he is keeping the books straight, and you lads are always top 10

Always the same old same old content in your posts.

Try stretching that muscle in between your ears and posting something but the usual 'tripe'

On a positive note, it's good to see you can now spell. Or is that the one syllable words your now using?

Agree with all the others on here,why on earth did we not get another striker in?Ade probably absent in January,Kane still unproven at this level and Soldado struggles to play as a lone front man.When you throw in the possibilities of injuries,suspensions and loss of form for these three we could be left woefully short in this vital department.No doubt if things do go t*ts up this season Mr Levy will put the blame squarely on Poch's shoulders.
Having said this let's all get right behind the team and the manager and hope for the best.

Agree with all. Horrible transfer window. Levy doesn't want a winning team; he wants a balance sheet. And what happened to the USELESS Franco Baldini? What did he add?

I believe that the other chairmen don't want to deal with Levy. Being a tough negotiator only goes as far as whether the person across the table want to deal with him. And I think he has p*ssed off too many people.

Time for Joe Lewis to give him his walking papers.

Careful what you say ed002, Levy invented that sentance and probaly has a trademark!

Oh well think we could be in for a long hard season, the 1position we desperately need to strengthen in is up front and what do we sign, 4 defenders a keeper and a CDM. I think levy goes out his way to make a c*nt of the supporters.

F.F.S.

Stop all the whining and give the new manager and players a chance, especially now they have had a year in the P.L.

We all know that the first year for foreigners is always the hardest to adapt, along with so many changes and a new manager.

All the current top 4 have had time to develop even with their millions injected in to the team, making small changes each year once they have a settled team. We need some stability and formation instead of 7/8 new players every year.

Northern Spur - Open your eyes Guaranga. Sometimes players are not good enough for the PL

I've seen a guy at Chelsea banging in goals for fun. 3 games in. Hazzard, Willian haven't taken a season.

I see a left back at Liverpool the w/e play his 2nd game run the lenght of the pitch & score. It doesn't always take time. Dier ring a bell. he's hit the ground running.

I for one just hope MP is given time, get rid of Baldini & let MP do the short list of players.

DR-THFC, your opening line ridicules your complete statement.

Northern Spur - Open your eyes. Northeast spur. dooooaaaa

But in an attempt to respond to your other statements, some players do not take a season, yes given, how many of those are there though?

We are talking about fickle footballers that love their egos massaging all the time. However they are human and some do take time to adjust to the culture change and change of league, albeit not one from seven did for us last year!

You state the left back who ran the length of the pitch and scored, nobody attempted to tackle him, so does that make him a worldy due to one goal and our pathetic performance?

Given, Hazzard had a great 1st season last year, let's see how he fairs this year. and again, yes some player do settle.

My statement is an opinion, which I (and yourself) are entitled too. Clearly we both want our team to be successful, but at what cost. Leeds United!

We were never going to go out and spend another £20-£25m on players this window and this season. be realistic.

I would like to see the stats on which premier league club has the highest turn over of players. I believe we are right up there, so where is the stability in that? You look at the top four over the past 8 / 9 / 10 years. Stable team with 3 or 4 max players in and out. We had 7 last year and something like that year. Given the Red Mancs are in for a complete over haul. but how many others have really had the turn over in managers or players like us.

Northeast Spur - Apologies there is a Northern Spur on here. Are you sure your not the same person :-)

You state because one of our players didn't tackle Moreno. ha ha I've just nearly fallen of my chair. That's because they couldn't catch him to tackle him. I'm not saying go a spend 25 million - he cost 12 million. you need to be realistic. Hazzard has already started where he left off last season. He would walk into our team any day of the week. Your comment was players need time to settle - & I'm saying that's not ALWAYS the case

Asprilla
Overmars
Berkamp
Coutino
Suarez
Drogba
Veira
Balotelli
Tevez
Aguero
Cantona

Man City - has been through a few managers. I think Liverpool have been through 3 or 4 over the last 5 or 6 years. OK I accept Man City have the big backing. but never the less they have changed managers.

So that's 11 players you've named that have settled straight away. From how many billion spent over the past 10 years?

I wonder how much the transfers were at their current time? Are you saying that we could have afforded to purchase them? Given, we should have purchased Suarez when we had the chance, but any of the others. And would they have come with the predicament we have been in for the past 30 years.

Be realistic.

The 11 players were to make the point. The list is endless. We could have bought about 75% of that lot.

Get in the real world. Like you said we missed out on Jaws. That's been the problem the scouting.

Oracle,

The window is closed . you seem like a reasonably intelligent person . can you explain how all these deals you said were done went tits up on us over the last 2 windows?

I think that should now be te end of oracle. Reputation in bits. Again.

Like B.A.E - no return

It's in bits every transfer window. He will be back spouting cr*p again come the end of December and again will dissappear until the following summer
