Saint Garrett Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 I've just kinda of assumed that he's going to sign....it's nearly 10pm and nothing - worrying. Absolute shocker if we don't sign a CB...what an amazing opportunity to win a trophy and could be going into the final with Stephens and Yoshida at the back.

Batman Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 We plan a transfer window ahead. We knew Fonte wanted out in the last transfer after window.

Patrick Bateman Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 No centre back (or two) is a disgraceful f**k up of this transfer window. They KNEW Fonte wanted to go, why has someone not been lined up already? We should already have the c**t in place, training with the team. We'll sell Van Dijk in the summer, so ideally we should have TWO of the c**ts lined up. Useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 Reed is NOT a liar When he said we would replace Fonye, he meant replace with Stephens. He didn't say in the interview because it was so obvious he didnt need to. Or something. Absolute cluster**** if we don't get a CB. We need that more than we need Gabbiadini and they will end up making what should be a good buzz of a record signing seem like a crap deadline day.

Absolute shocker if we don't sign a CB...what an amazing opportunity to win a trophy and could be going into the final with Stephens and Yoshida at the back. Les sold him to West Ham. He'll sell the other one in the summer. It sounds like he's offered Chelsea first option. So they'll both be in London. He sold the strikers to Liverpool and some club in China. But, as he claims we've got the best pool of midfielders in the Premier League, he's still got some of them left he can sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warning signs were there for Newcastle and villa in recent seasons too and palace last year who may well go down. Once a malaise sets in it can be very hard to get out of it.

MarkSFC Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 Even during the summer when it was Fonte, VVD and Yoshida we needed another CB better than Fonte. To be fair Toshida has had his best season for us so far but even still we needed one before Fonte left and now VVD is out for god knows how long we are simply desperate. Stephens did well against Liverpool, but was terrible v Arsenal. Gardos is just way behind and irrelevant to the equation. IF the club do not have a late announcement for us we are in a shockingly bad place. We would not even of been happy with Yoshida, Stephens and Gardos when we were in The Championship. Very poor show.....but still 35 minutes to go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any project, if something unlucky happens at the last minute, but avoiding the last minute was perfectly possible, then it is still more fu ck up than bad luck.

SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 Failed with a late loan deal for Amat from Swansea. What a mess and how desperate. "Hey Swansea, we'll let you win if you loan us a centre back!" "No." "Ok, then we'll just let you win." Yoshida, third choice at the start of the season and prone to the odd error. Stephens, young, raw, a lot of faith being put in him. Gardos, out for a couple of years and rusty. That's our centre backs until we get VVD back. That's worrying. A last minute announcement doesn't seem likely. Finally we've addressed the attack, and it's at the other end we're weak. I don't think we'll get relegated, but we need to put in a performance from heaven to win the cup. No more injuries, please!! Martin Caceres is still a free agent. Anyone? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
