Santon is an FM legend, this could be good.

Issue is though, he's a bloody right back, not a left!

Forlan just signed with Inter for 5 mill, I would of preferred his name, however I can certainly live with Santon pretty quick and certainly makes us better.

Santon can plays left back and right back, so it fills a need.

We have been bloody lucky early to get the results we have and have looked flat for long periods. Demba Ba has looked good which is a plus.

Would love to see at least one of Mobido Maiga or Cissokho signed (or both).
 
I'm not overly cconcerned about Maiga, what's the big fuss for him? He barely scores 1/4 games in France what makes anyone believe he would score more in the Premiership? I'd like to see the club invest time into Best who has improved dramatically over the last 12 months... Ideally we would purchase an attacking forward/midfielder who can be the link between the middle and front half of the ground, a player like Dempsey would be a perfect fit for us, otherwise we need a proven PL scorer! I have a feeling Maiga would be a flop.

Don't really need Cissokho now were in for Santon, Santon will play LB and is tall and very attacking, IMO opinion a significant upgrade from Enrique, in fact having a look at Chelsea fan pages there is some disappointment they didn't come in for him.

Maiga played on the wing for a good portion of his time in Europe.

If Best gets injured we are looking pretty dismal up forward.

The transfer window is closing and our squad is rice paper thin. A striker with a decent record ...15 wasn't it last year? Who can have a run on the wing if needed - good move.
 
Big word out of England is we will be taking Macheda on loan for the season from Man Yoo, this would be huge for us. This kid probably the most talented Young Italian forward in the game, would be even better if we could somehow work a perm clause at the end of the loan.

Krul

Simpson - Taylor - Colo - Santon

Jonas - Tiote - Cabaye - Ben Arfa

Macheda - Best

That's an excellent 11 and a big upgrade on last season, keep in mind we'd have quality in the subs to with Ba,Gosling,Obertan and Taylor etc etc
 
And we don't get a striker, couldn't agree for personal terms after a few bids were accepted, absolute joke Mike Ashley and Pardew is the biggest puppet in this world!

Ahh well get behind the lads till January I suppose.

And we're surprised by this...why?

Ba, Best and Shola going to have to do the job and I guess if worst comes to worst we hope Sammy unleashes?
 
I wasn't happy we took on Pardew when I thought we should have gone for Jol, but all things considering, reckon he's done very well since taking the job over.

Got the feeling Ashley has gone about face in terms of brining players in. It's a shame as I reckon we're headed for a Spurs/Everton/Villa type era where we will be a development club for the big 4, and the prick will just sell off players until he has broken even or made some money off the club and then eventually sell.

Hopefully not an Everton era now...they've gone from midtable to surprise relegation chance
 
Surely Moyes is out of there now.

Gotta be, I've heard of operating on a shoestring, but not on sweet f*** all. Not in the Premier League. Hell, you can barely do it in the Championship any more (see Crystal Palace, Watford to an extent).
What the hell is the TV revenue going into over there, covering costs alone? Surely the combined income from merchandising, TV revenue and ticketing has to at least allow something resembling a transfer kitty (even if it's only a mil or two) despite the wages? Or have they so dramatically messed up their wage structure that it doesn't even get them that?!

Thank god if there's a gaping, bleeding hole, Ashley will at least *attempt* to do something about it.
 
Lucky to get a point against QPR - plus good to see Barton have an average game.

Simpson very solid at right back, however we are a few players short of being anywhere near a top 10 club.

3-1 over SJP bogey side Blackburn with a Demba Ba hat trick. Good result. 4th on the table.

With Ba and Best up front we looked very dangerous, Ba has great control.

The team is only going to get better too as some of the new boys gel a little more.
 
4th and 2pts clear (although Spurs have a game in hand), still undefeated. Playing really well, SOLID DEFENCE
