Just enjoying watching the penny drop. Especially re: the lads we've brought in being worse than what's gone out. Think that's sinking in for people now. We're dog shit. Even a striker and a centre back won't change that. We needed to try and like for like replace Cabaye. We've got Jack fucking Colback. Brutal window. Our biggest money signing is worse than a lad we've got playing for the reserves

:lol:

 

I know we all "knew" that we'd not be signing anyone, but there's that ludicrous hope that fucks us over every fucking window.

 

Aye. I feel like such an idiot. No doubt I'll be hopeful in January again :doh:

We've been over this a few times before but I'll give it another go.

 

Colback is not a replacement for Cabaye.

Cabella and De Jong are replacements for and the dilution of Cabaye.

Rivière isn't a replacement for Remy or Ba, he's a targetman for De Jong and Cabella to feed off

Etc etc etc

It's funny because last year Cabaye was starting in our midfield and this year Colback is. The result is we're fucking shit.

 

You thought Riviere was Sholas replacement which should, I reckon, mean he should be starting on the bench as opposed to up front.

I still think that Chucky is supposed to be our Remy replacement... but that was an opportunistic signing. If he hadn't become available, maybe we would have signed someone else.

 

As it is, I suspect we'll hover around Lacazette for the next few months and sign him from Lyon in January for about £200k less than whatever they were asking for in this window. We'll then call it a success as buying him will pull us free from relegation - obviously can't overstate how important that banked £200k is either. Sure, we may have sacrificed 15 or so points in our negotiation strategy, but think of the saving!

 

For me, the really stupid decision is MYM - otherwise this window would have been about par for the club.

No matter who we let go or bring in, the club's two biggest liabilities remain with us unfortunately. Guess who those two are? Go on, I dare ya! :blind:

 

To be fair to the club they did try their best to get rid of Ben Arfa.

Oh yes. The alienated Ben Arfa. The guy who all he's done since he arrived was score goals, create chances, create havoc for our opponents in sometimes the most spectacular fashion. The guy that despite of the idiocy of his bosses actually WANTS to play for us. Yes, they have tried and are continuing to do so, aren't they?

Great! Just fabulous! Bye HBA. Thank you for coming to us when this club needed a player like you when we most needed one! Sorry that our Overlords have treated you so badly!

 

Do you think HBA can get by Williamson Mr. Pardew? How about you, Mr Ashley? No? You are about to get Ben Arfa'd!!!!
