YES I NO! But I'm INTHENO - the rest of you can guess it out over on the Transfer window thread with that muppet [MENTION=12291]Bradders[/MENTION] :angry:
Bradders started this thread and even I posted in it before you, but you want to take ownership and kick us out? Start your own thread.

With the massive SUCCESS of the MUSICAL "La La Land" how appropriate if we were to SING soneone whose last club was in HOLLYWOOD.

No idea why ROBBIE KEANE is so shy about getting back to PLAYING but he's still FAVOURED to SING for the ALBION.

I think we're making the same point.
I'm not sure.
If we can't afford it now, but can next window, then our budget will be bigger in the summer!
But no one (from the club) says we'd have a bigger budget in the summer.
But Board risk appetite may be to break the bank this window and hope/assume it pays itself back in May.

My immediate instinct is that the latter doesn't sound like our management. But I guess financially it's akin to rejecting all those bids last summer.
I don't think our current position is comparable with any previous time, for a few reasons, so I don't know what our owner would like to do.

I just get the feeling any movement this window will be a supplement rather than a marquee signing
That might be the case due to players available, but I'm not sure it will be because of our club's intentions.

Shane Long is a good example of the insanity of the current English market. FWIW I think he's a good player but if you wanted to sign him you'd be looking north of £10m according to Wiki at least he has a contract to 2020. He is 30 relies a lot of pace and running power and has the sum total of 1 premier league goal this season. He might come in and rip it up and that's not impossible but that's a hell of an outlay for a player who will have little or no resell value in a couple of years and is on the downward path. I get it that if we are promoted that sum won't matter but if we are to have any chance moving forward of doing anymore than just surviving we need to buy good players young and sell them on for a profit while reinvesting that on other good players (See it's easy if you say it quickly enough!)

It's a tricky balancing act but buying players in the summer is surely preferable to buying now when prices are inflated? That said it's for me at least imperative we get a striker in somehow but I'm not sure buying one for big bucks is the best move right now at least not one from the PL.

I was actually just kidding, a loan is all we need.

If KLL had come on instead of Norwood he would have tried a worldy from 35 yeards instead of playing a perfect pass to Hemed to score. KLL is no where near the player he was at the start of last season before he was injured, all four of our wingers are better so why do we need a fifth

KLL has done plenty off the bench in his Albion career and we'd failed to break down that Cardiff defence. More likely to have created the spark than Murphy at that point.

Unlikely we'll get a SINGING on a match day I suppose.

Sunday, Monday or Tuesday then ???
