Agreed. And it was only a week or 2 back that people weren't too bothered about him arriving or not.


because:

1)Carroll was still here
2) we were expecting at least one goal scorer, Dempsey or someone else

But why sending Caroll on loan and get nobody replacing him. Even with Caroll I think we did not have enough cover? This is a complete mess.

I'm gonna get slaughtered for this, but what the hell...

I'm pretty happy with the way the transfer window went - I'd go as far as to say I'm actually delighted. We managed to ship out a shed load of dead wood, we bought in a class midfielder in Allen, another likely in Sahin and a lively unknown in Assaidi (spelling). We picked up a young Italian international in Borini, who looks good so far and will only get better as he finds his feet / develops partnerships in the team.

In clearing the rot we've made way for some of the talented youngsters to come through: Sterling looks the real deal, Coates has jumped above Carra in the que, Kelly getting the odd run out and with Carroll gone Morgan will be given the chance to stake his claim... we moan when we don't give youth a chance, we moan when we do... go figure.
This is the time, more often than not when talents come through unexpectedly - Spearing had his chance last season and it didn't work out, but to use him as an example why not to promote the youth would be wrong, just look at Sterling and Kelly.. we could well unearth another gem in Morgan..something tells me Susso is gonna make an appearance sooner or later too..

And then there was Andy bloody Carroll...
Although I'm a little miffed at us not bringing in another striker, I'm glad to see the back of the big man - probably good for all parties involved.
The cold hard truth is he has been shackled by that outrageous price tag he's got hanging around his neck - you could say the club has been too. Every match is surrounded by the will he wont he play saga: will he adapt and fit in, will he prove to be a 35mil player, is this the game he finally comes good???
It's a dark cloud that's been hanging over us for to long, there must have been a sigh of relief when he agreed to join the WHAM'ers...
Hopefully he plays his cotton little socks off for them, rediscovers his form, sets the world alight and the suitors come knocking - think in the long run we'll recoup a decent wedge of the money we shelled out for him. Sincerely hope the big man does well.


Anyone else got a hangover this morning???

if we really needed dempsey that badly and BR knew that too why keep it so late? last few hours when a kid would have predicted that it wont go down well when fulham are all complaining and wont just budge on our low offer? doesnt make sense to me..

either we didnt really want him or we were over confident (with no Plan B) that we will rape fulham on an unsettled player coz hes desperate to join us

Hahaaaa... fair play fella.

I'll start the doom and gloom WHEN things go wrong, but I don't see the point in banging my head against a wall before I have to..

the issue of this transfer window isnt about clint dempsey or any player , its the issue of the owners clearing the decks , promising the manager that he can bring players in then and i know some will want to blame rodgers but its not his fault he like us have been shafted by these asset strippers , now i see some talking about why wasnt suarez or agger sold well when the club is sold which in my opinion will be sooner rather than later , it needs to look attractive to a prospective owner and having a couple of names will make it more attractive , sorry but FSG are not better than H&G the only difference is they club is unlikely to go into administration while there in charge , and get it clear its not because brendan rodgers is the manager , as i have said they could have appointed benitez, jose , guardiola, klopp wouldnt have made any difference this FSG would not back him , but the most puzzling this is they backed dalglish to the hilt knowing he wasnt long term , expect a long long hard season people thank to our lovely american owners .
