Think G/S should bit the bullet and get in a couple of strikers and a creative midfielder, I know they're wanting to stick to the FFP rules but surely it's more important to stay in the prem as the regulations don't need to met for a few years. It's worrying when stoke come and out play us at home so surely we'll be making a couple of signings, really don't want to see us in a relegation fight this season I was so optimistic after the first two games and after yesterday I'm not feeling that positive tbh.

Wats he doing watching the game, big sam shouldve given him a top, boy do we need some strikers, but big sam needs to change his formation, other wise we will only score more than 1 goal against lower clubs, that's my opinion, l just hope big sam reads this.

Although I liked it, I never understood the blind optimism shown by some fans. I said in a previos text that Cardiff hull, and now even palace are not frightened to spend a few quid. as have others all this salary cap is nonsense until 2015 fans are being taken for mugs. its a black mark for S and G and sam. who have done so well previously. I understand that Anichebe wants out from everton as he can't get a game. he was a right handful at upton pk last year. we could do a lot worse. we best do something and quick. otherwise we will be in bottom six all season. can't score can't win games that's it. yesterday we could have played till midnight and not scored. don't think maiga could get into orient team now there top of league one.
I said much the same thing a few weeks back and got shot down by many including bkk hammer when I said we were being far to optimistic about our signings. It pains me to be right but just look. Rat can't get a game and o'brien is injured and right footed!
We bought an unheard of keeper from Spain who isn't going to challenge jussi so god forbid jussi gets injured.
We bought a young kid from somewhere - whitehead - obviously one for the future and downing who has had his best days.
We have needed strikers of quality for a few years but we just keep trying to do it on the cheap and before anyone mentions the 15 mill for Carroll take a look loads of clubs have spent far more than us.
Every year we fall for the same pr stuff in may and June and July with eye catching bids for the likes of negredo, bony and Cardozo but Lo and behold they never come off cause we won't pay the going rate.
Any real fans who actually go will agree and especially after watching yesterday we are in desperate need of PACE. We have the slowest midfield / defence in the prem. we can't put teams under pressure because we are not quick enough. Again it pains we to say it but look at spurs they have pace all over the pitch so they scare teams.
Our owners need to wake up to reality really quickly and stop kidding the fans or we will be back in championship and that is not a knee jerk reaction to yesterday but a serious thought having seen west ham all last year.
