Yeah you're right. This is way worse than that time the club sold our own ground.

You are correct. We are in the Premier League, the top league in the country, so he has taken us as far as he can.

How many strikers have actually moved this summer? Some ridiculous sums, but a lot of clubs holding players to their contracts.

It's never been easy signing quality forwards - I'm sure they've tried their best, but strikes me there hasn't been a lot of movement this summer.

Were you around in the 90's when we lost our ground, played 80 miles away and almost lost our league status? Almost went out of existence as well. I suggest you read up about our history or you'll continue to make mistaken comments like 'the club have made there (sic) biggest ever mistake'.

Good enough for what? Do you want Bloom out? Barber out? Give it a rest.

This has been the most successful period in our clubs history. This is a setback don't get me wrong and it makes staying in the division much harder, but how about we remember that we are actually talking about paying £20 million for a player. The worst case scenario is we get relegated and have our parachute payments to secure the future of our football club.

You'd have thought that we'd just lost to Hereford by the reaction on here (not that it surprises me)

Think it's time you gave it a rest to be honest.

How anyone could possibly perceive no striker in as anything but a total and utter blunderous failure by person or persons is beyond me. Our manager is not being given a fighting chance, our players will feel this failure also and morale will be knocked, our fans will be subjected to possibly the worst forward line in recent PL history and expect us to pay out week in week out to watch it.

I'll go ahead and say it, if we don't get at least somebody in, even to make up the ****ing numbers, i'd rather we had stayed in the Championship.

Should someone with a name suspiciously close to "Dougie", who is full of pathetic cowardly shit, really be bothered with? That's pathetic cowardly shit whether the poster is Albion (with some growing up to do) or a Palace troll - just two different kinds to choose from.

That's over simplifying the whole process.

It's hard to convince players to join a newly promoted team to the PL as they want as close to a certainty as possible when it comes to playing in that league for the length of their contract

This is shown by the examples of players turning us (and Newcastle) down and preferring to stay put, and Tammy Abraham even picked an established club over Newcastle or us.

It's not necessarily down to wages offered, or the price of the transfer fee and the standard of player we need may just decide they don't want to come here so what can you do as a club?

Nothing to do with how much we have spent, it's the positions we spend it on... The striker situation was obviously the most crucial and should have been the priority from the start, not leaving it till the final day.

Wasn't the 'cluster approach' meant to prevent situations like this?
