You're right in that aspect but there are a lot better full backs out there. At least Gamez was captain of Athletico, Manquillo hasn't had a sniff of the first team.

I have to say the players being linked this week are far from inspiring, average benchwarmers at best.

That will be a shocking signing, of all the fullbacks in the world and he's after that divvy.

Fucking clueless mate, as has been said they've had little quality in their ranks since the 70's.

Canny team Fucking hell. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/cricket/paul-collingwood-picks-time-sunderland-13336852

Expect that comment to be quoted by a mackem on social media in the next fortnight

That goal against Blackburn was something else mind.

He's got pace and knows where the goal is, for me that's a decent mix.

Like I said yesterday, this is how it felt at the time. A real empty promise.

To add insult to Etwerp's injury, Xisco was another last minute panic buy which some say was the start of the rot under Ashley.

There you go, another pile of shite bought to fill a squad number.

At the time of Ashley's interview it felt as though he was just saying what the fans wanted to hear and in his mind he was boosting season ticket sales, hopefully that doesn't prove to be the case.

Time will tell, for me the Premier League is a joke now money wise but they need to spend if we are to survive. They've promised the money is there but nothing so far suggests Rafa has the full backing he needs. I'm not convinced that squad will be good enough to avoid relegation as it is.

You're missing the point though, leaving signings to the end of the window usually means we've missed out on the main targets and are scraping the barrel getting any old SHITE in. Which even you and Etwerp will admit that does not bode well for our season.

Exactly, we'd fucked about all month with signing a striker so they had to rush through a loan signing that clearly wasn't good enough.

All aboard the Shola-coaster.

AND LOOK WHERE THAT GOT US.

Seydou Doumbia was a panic buy as we'd fucked the signing of a striker right up.

You can guarantee there'll be at least one late/panic buy, it's standard with this club.

Watched Insomnia with Al Pacino and Robin Williams, I thought it was a decent psychological thriller and very well acted from Pacino.

Another youth trophy, what a summer. Surely they can form a silverware winning senior team out of them? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40619862
