You seem laid back mostly. Does this lack of signings make you frustrated?

Are you of the opinion that not moving for a central midfield player is acceptable? What are your thoughts on this rubbishshow with PSG?

Is our club going to come out of this window and be effectively a laughing stock?

I feel embarrassed to be honest. And I struggle to defend us when people ask why we haven't bought anybody. Fed up mate.

{Ed001's Note - I am not really bothered as I don't really think any of the players we are trying to buy are worth the money. I would rather we just punted Hughes and started afresh in January with a SD who can actually source the right players. Give Iraola some time to work with what he has and see what he can rescue from the disaster that was Slot's second season.}

You could just tell them we have bought someone, Chrisymate, mate.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Signings don't guarantee anything and you've got to take the rough with the smooth in the football banter game anyway.

Agree with that Ed001.

Keep your powder dry, let Iraola work his stuff with this squad. In the meantime get the right guy in and strategise for next summer.

Sadly this season is a write off.

Does that mean you'll be taking this season off then, @ Vik?

Thing is, lads, I'm getting old. I wanted to see us win another league before I pop my clogs. I am not as patient as you guys are. I can't kick that can down the road and say maybe next year. Plus, I'm getting miserable watching games, when we don't play well, that is. I do think AI will do well for us tho.

If you're old old, Chrisymate, then you'll have seen us win more League titles than most other fans.
We only end up with memories anyway. You can't enjoy the future, mate.
If you get miserable watching us, think of some better times.

After a bad game, I used to put the Istanbul game on from the second half. It never failed.
Now I try to move and do something useful.
I try to get some perspective.

As Jason McAteer said: Yesterday's just a memory and tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be.

People clamouring for replacing half the squad and I think there will be a surprise signing, but Ai hast had that long with the squad so give him a chance.
If it goes south, then back him in January, but at least give him time to work with his team.

{Ed0666's Note - AI has said himself he needs players.

Missed that out but have posted before he needs players.
