Stockers was just unlucky on that day. By the looks of him at the moment, he'd get nowhere
near the bloody ball if the same happened again.

apart from scoring a couple of goals of the back of Stockdale
Whoops just seen the post above
Thought we agreed £8m for him?

Some deluded people.
Pritchard is quality, he cost us the title last season.
Gross is better but would have been an excellent back up option considering gross only lasts 75 minutes (and also excellent level for championship where we will be in may if we don't sign at least two attacking players).
Sahko is an excellent signing. 1 in 3 strike ratio, a bit of pace and height. Exactly what we need. Oh and significantly cheaper than ze Luis who could be complete shite should we get him. Only risk with sahko is that he is a bit mental and injury prone.

Looks like our budget is around 3 million, won't get much for that.

That was Norwich
For the record I too think he’s a tidy player, other Prem teams have been put off due to how tiny he is , but if he gets time on the ball he’ll cause teams problems.
We won’t know if this is good business for Hudds till the end of the season .
But if we go down and they stay up it’ll be Pritchard having the last laugh

Completely agree, when he scored last season against us at the end of the season I thought he may well have his day against us!

Maybe it’s all a clever rouse to save shirt printing costs.

He didn't score against us! Two own goals from Stockdale wasn't it?

Akpom, Akpom....where's our Akpom....Chuba is in waiting for us to go and get him.
So in answer to the question 'who should we have signed?'
The answer would appear to be a list of players who:-
Are no better than the Albions 'cheaper' options - Mooy, Lemina, Wood.
Completely superfluous - Maguire.
Expensive loan deal - Abraham, Loftus-Cheek.
Or just expensive - Arnautovic, Chicharito.

Richarlison
I'd love for NSC to have pulled out some names that suit my view of our 'do it on the cheap' transfer dealings, but they just aren't there.

Got to love NSC. Other clubs make signings and the folks on here call them ordinary or over priced players.
Yet ourselves continue to drag our heels bringing in needed players. Same shit about not putting the club at risk. Yet if we go down we will lose millions and our best players
Lets not get carried away, we're doing alright even without any new signings.
Massive signings are not always the answer, look at QPR in January 2013. They made two record signings in Chris Samba and Loic Remmy and still got relegated on 25 points.
Big signings don't guarantee anything.

We also have to bare in mind fatigue, injury, suspensions. We've been fairly lucky with this so far. A few of our first 11 go down injured and there isn't much depth, particularly in the middle and up front.

Really, really pleased with this. The #10 role is one that we never really sorted over summer, which is one of the big reasons for our lack of attacking threat. It also means that Ince (who has been really good for us, but playing out of position), can go out wide and be more effective. While £10-12m is expensive, if it works out as it reads on paper it will be worth every penny.

He certainly has potential and has looked very good in flashes at Norwich. Interesting to see how he goes

Agreed, but we also need not spend fortunes.
Our recruitment department have demonstrated an ability to find excellent bargains, so if we do sign anyone, its not the end of the world if they only cost £5m not £25m.
Our first choice starting 11 (15) are good enough to keep us up, anyone else added now is a bonus not a necessity.
