Hi Eds 3 targets gone mate Fonte to west ham, Berahino to Stoke, and Depay to Lyon, who's next

{Ed025's Note - i dont think fonte or berahino were ever serious targets AB, and im happy we never got depay so i dont think we are any worse off than when those 3 were available mate..

Agree with Ed here. Can't for a second believe we would let a brilliant servant who is also club captain leave because he is getting on, to replace him with a different defender who is getting on. As for berahino. we all have a go when the press announce that rom has pushed for a move, so do we really want a player who has spent more time trying to force an exit from his club that playing for them? Personally I'd have liked depay on loan but fully understand the reasoning behind not stumping up the fee they wanted.

{Ed025's Note - great minds think alike cropper mate.. :)

Nbtb and ed, I completely agree with you. The only thing is how relatively quickly the deals were done. Seemed only last week both fonte and berahino we going nowhere and now they signed.
I think our beloved club may possibly have a couple players lined up that we don't know about and may sign before the end of the window. Hopefully

{Ed025's Note - they have to be the right players geoff, its not a numbers game and quality is the key mate..

Again I agree ed. Rk and sw will have developed a list of players they would like. It may be we don't don't get anyone of the right players aren't available. But we have a decent record of picking up bargains (Cahill, even Rom to certain extent) and young kids (stones, holgate, galloway, etc) to develop. So maybe they got some of them on their list.

{Ed025's Note - i would sooner that geoff than an average joe who will take up a squad number and be happy on the bench mate..

Thats right ed. We need to improve the quality of player we have to move us forward.

Berahino is a moody so and so. one you don't want in the dressing room. irrespective of talent. At least Lukaku doesn't go on strike (officially) although at times he looks like he is. Depay. I have no idea of him. He is that memorable. Yes I think I remember one game. oh no. that was someone else! Fonte? Wellour average age is up there already so he would fit in. for when we join the walking football league! Come on lads, get real or I will get even more sarcastic with my posts and start mentioning Osman again! 3 targets? . only if we are taking up shooting I would say!
