Ed001, you don't seem optimistic we will get the targets we need, is it a case of clubs holding us to ransom due to them knowing we are kinda desperate, or an unwillingness by us to pay the fees requested?
I know we should not overpay, but if you need something you tend to just pay for it if your pockets are deep enough. 12m for sakho is not unreasonable in this market, Illori I can understand them haggling over. He is inexperienced at the highest level and not yet proven unlike sakho.
Winger wise, well we only have ourselves to blame. We sat on our proverbial all summer knowing what we required trying to haggle whilst once again letting go all our options leaving the team short.
I am all for giving Ibe and sterling chances to get into the team, but they are teenagers and if played too much may suffer the same fate as rooney and be burnt out by their 23yrs old. We don't even need a so called Marqee which is a term I hate by the way, just someone who will be solid and provide the amunition for sturridge, aspas and borini.
Whats the latest on Suarez, ed002 was adamant he was still going to go this summer. i'm personally not bothered if he goes or stays, but I will not be defending him when he has another lapse in judgement and tries another stunt to get a move. {Ed001's Note - it is both, clubs know there is a lot of money floating about, so they are asking for higher prices, we are not going to pay them. We really shouldn't need to buy anyone that isn't going to be first choice anyway, in my opinion. We should be looking to youth players as the extra cover, or we are going to find they won't want to join us.
Rooney was not burnt out at 23, he smokes and drinks too much and lets himself get too far out of shape each summer, that is his problem. You can't get away with the wrong lifestyle forever, it catches up to you, either you change it or you fade. He needs to look at himself, as he only has himself to blame.
Real Madrid still want to buy Suarez, Bale is just keeping them busy for now, I expect things to move once that deal is done. Though we aren't going to roll over for them.}

Eds, do you know if Usain Bolt is available, would add much needed pace on the wings!
I know he is a Manu fan, but if we pay him in chicken nuggets it may just swing it for us. He told me he was a keen footballer in his youth and feel he could do a solid job for us.
Failing that, Yarmolenko would do if the rumours are true, I would be made up if we got him. Along with Sakho I think we will all be happy chappies and gals. Until we win ugly againa and the moaners will be out in force.

Haha, I fear some will be considering topping themeselves when the window closes.
Not going to say we will not sign anyone, but after last summers fiasco of a window I will not be surprised if we dont. don't get me wrong, despite the frustration i'm not going to fling myself under a bus if we dont.
We will just muddle along as per and we will see where we end up at the end of the season. Hopefully back in europe!

I am not doubting moses is average/above average as an attacking option, but if he is as good as some are making him out to be I ask the question why was he a sub so many times and why is he being farmed out in place of an expensive player who does NOT score goals.
Yeah he could be a gem in the making, but as a loan who we could lose at the end of the season makes no sense.
So not only can't we afford some top quality for ourselves which moses certainly is not, we are now nurturing other clubs talents so they can go back better players to them.
I guess Brendan and many fans on here believe moses is our level, I beg to differ. No doubt he will come and do well and rub my nose in it, but I can't help feel we are missing a trick like we have done for 20 odd years now. Buy one or two quality players a until you have a team full of quality instead of 4-5 average players every year.
