While I'm going through a few old threads, I thought I'd just like to put my hands up and say I was well and truly wrong on this count.
A Spanish international on a FREE, £2.5million on Peterborough's 35 goal striker (what a finisher!), 250k on midfield maestro from a side newly promoted to the...
Bizarrely, I was thinking about this thread in the shower this morning! It occurred to me that we might sign some players this week, and that some goon would bounce this thread.
However, I wishfully had hoped it would be bounced after we'd signed a proven quality striker. I didn't think...
All fine points - but he's proved to be a totally pointless and uneccessary signing - look at the responses I got on the other thread for daring to suggest so.
p.s. If he gets fit and signs next season, he might, just might, turn out to be a decent player. But I don't see the point of forcing...
Might as well reply to this I suppose:
1) Poyet's transfer window signings didn't live up to their expectations (in terms of profile/calibre)
2) But it didn't matter, he's got the players already here playing out of their skin (Navarro, Elphick, Bennett)
3) Regardless of their 'names', Calderon...

Good grief.
Lua-Lua - signed off the back of a scouting trip to watch someone else.
Endorsed by the always popular on here Dennis Wise.
Hardly anything amazing in the contacts department, just an encouraging sign that Poyet can spot a good player when he sees one. Hopefully this Uraguayan kid can make...
True though isn't it?
Absolute spackers.
I hope he's good and helps us to mid table mediocrity, with some momentum going into next season.
But if he isn't, I'll be bouncing this thread 8 times a day and 'creaming myself' over it, as some of the utter goons on here will look even bigger plebs.
Better bounce this, as it clearly brings much happiness to those sad enough to think signing a bloke from Stoke that nobody had heard of this time last week means Poyet's contacts are obviously amazing.
How in any way am I GLOATING?
I think we're in a relegation battle.
You obviously think we need to "re-build".
Unfortunately, I think we've gone round in a circle a bit, and our priority should be to stay in League 1, then worry about building for next season.
I do not want us to go down. I...
