Usually cup of tea and some food and watch footy on TV. Save the beer until afterwards when I will be either celebrating or trying to stave off depression.

I haven't got a clue whether it has gone up, gone down or stayed the same. It appears last year's was miscalculated (embarrassingly). SISU are not very good at running things. But regardless who owns the club you should run within your budget. The problem with football is Schweinsteiger...

Exactly. We need to unearth the next talent and leave Sheffield United to invest in and over pay the likes of Leon Clarke and John Fleck.

Perhaps Anderson doesn't either. Your budget is set by projected income. That will be based on what we achieved last year. You could argue the fans set it.

I agree with the payment of players bit. But that list also has people like Kevin Drinkell, Gary Collier, Alan Brazil, Julian Joachim and Freddie Eastwood on it :)

I would say plan B is not to panick too early or judge people before they have hardly had a chance to kick a ball :)

Maybe not, but it seems like a comfort blanket for many. The players in the squad are young enough to learn adaptability. I would prefer adaptability over plan A and plan B.

For instance who had heard of Ian Wallace or Gary Gillespie when we signed them?

For us to improve the players we have need to develop. Some of the things he says is addressed to the squad we have, not necessarily about who he intends to bring in. Remember development u23 teams are not the most competitive win at all costs environments. It is an angle young players have...

People are too hung up on traditional positions and 4 4 2. What makes Pep Guardiola such a good manager is his formation can change from week to week. Even if the formation is the same, the way it is played as a system can change. Hardly anybody plays 442 now, but for Coventry fans it is a...

Add to that Stokes, RCC, Harries, Stevenson, Willis, Lawton, Lameiras, Haynes, Jones and Gadzhev That is a lot of potential at this level.

How do you know he is unexciting? How many minutes are you going to give him? Do you know how long it took Thierry Henry to get going at Arsenal? Didn't have a goal in him at the start.

We are an unstable club so not the most attractive, we also have a limited wage budget. Fans seem to think if you say to a player we want you they just sign. Targets are just lines of enquiry not a done deal. Targets of any worth will have other interested parties. Signing players of quality...

So as the window closes do you take a punt (even if not your first choice) or go without? I would give the lad a chance.

If targets aren't available they are not available. I am sure TM put a bid in for Armstrong....but he was always going to stay at Newcastle or go to the Championship. Probably helped us get Sterry though. I suspect how well Arms did helped us get Agyei. I am not sure who our fans expect us...

I don't think we sat around doing nothing all day. Perhaps a few other enquiries didn't come off.....do you expect TM to just stare at his navel if he doesn't get his first choice?

Who is saying be excited? You could give the lad a chance though couldn't you?

I like the way goals scored in cup games are discounted as not showing our scoring potential. Yet the goals conceded at Norwich are a sign that we are weak. (Taken from other threads).

Yes Man City and Man U will spank them.

This is correct.
