does anybody actually expect....

Lads, what you're forgetting now is we now have an ambitious manager in control who has full responsibility of who he wants to sign...

These last 2 summers have been our most productive yet with Rafa in charge and that's why I'm sure we'll get at least 1 good addition through the door today, ideally 2 or 3.

I think we'll sign a left back and a striker... Maybe 2 if Gayle is sold.

Chin up and have faith, yes they control the money but Rafa does have a budget with players in mind and I'm sure he's gonna help get the job done today and as long as Charnley has the capacity to hold a phone call conversation then we'll get players in and out the door.

Lazaar and Colback will defo go, still surprised Krul hasn't gone but tbh I think Rafa only wanted Reina rather than actually feeling he needed another keeper and the tabloids have gone with it and linked us to every keeper going, so unless Reina is joining us instead of PSG I don't think we'll sign another keeper.

I want to see Woodman given a chance tbh.

Either way there's gonna be positive activity today!

I admire your optimism, but, I don't share it.

I think somewhere in between. A bit of activity, more out than in and a surprise we didn't (or most of us) expect coming in.

I wish I'd just followed my gut instinct at 9.15am when I posted this thread and not bothered with SKY SPORTS or Twitter all day.

so frustrated, so angry, so disappointed.

Aye.

My optimism looks like pure naivety again.

Every window, i think, this will be the one where we push on and get some players in to help us move on. Not just stand still and every window. . .
