Ask me in May and I'll give you an answer, nobody judges a signing on one game. None of the 3 were the first choice but if they are successful and we play well then all is well in the end

can I ask how you know that 'none of the 3' were first choice ?

Why did we bother with Ward & Clayton then ? Are you stupid ?

All the time that NSC, Twatter, the newspapers etc were all over the Ward and Clayton sigings, no-one anywhere mentioned Hola, Tex, or Bennett even though we were negotiating with them at the same time. My guess is we'll find out who is stupid in the next few weeks. The clubs that outspent us to land Ward and Clayton, or the club that pulled in three unmentioned players for no fees.

I do wonder how important getting your "first choice" signings really is outside the very elite Real Madrid/Man City level. Football is littered with examples of expensive flops and cheaper options turning out alright.

Talking of expensive flops, Fulham have no points and an £11m striker. Can't say I saw that coming.

Yet, you were happy to judge them on NO GAMES, declaring them panic signings akin to Johnny Dixon and Shane McFaul before they'd even put their boots on.

Just a light hearted little jokey-pops that a tw@t like you is sad enough to take serious, or are you on a wind-up?

Given that I said ".... or are you on a wind-up", I think that might indicate that I had an inkling that you were on a wind-up.
