Totally fed up with our lack of signings now, every player who seems like they would be a good buy go elsewhere and Borini looks dead in water, what I thought would be a good transfer window for us is now a mediocre one. The Mags have done a lot of business and by all accounts are not finished, don't like to say but it may be another season of struggle as our squad is nowhere near big enough

oh, has the transfer window shut over night or something? just I thought it shut on September 1st and there seems to be a lot of negativity from impatient people who think they know how to be a manager and think transfers are as easy as 'oh I like him let's get him'. there is absolutely no point judging the squad now. if you want to winge at least wait till the window is shut

The fact that LFC are getting Balotelli for £16m whilst there is a £14m bid accepted for Borini is ridiculous. That £14m should have been spent elsewhere in this window already to improve the squad with additions all around the pitch including defenders and a striker. For £14m we could easily have 3-4 new additions to the team. But instead we are hanging around Borini who is rated at £2m less than Balotelli. Now that, to me, shows the utter lack of transfer business. We should have given Liverpool and Borini a deadline of 2 weeks after the fee was agreed and if he didn't join by then, we move on.

I will hold judgement until after the window has closed but that doesn't mean I can't or won't get worried before then.

I just can't see where our next signing is coming from; the only rumours I am hearing is this 30 year-old striker playing in Brazil who sounds worryingly like Scocco.

Not heard anything about a defender and I think we need two in this week.

Here's hoping there are one or two rabbits Lee and Gus are about to pull from their hat!

Totals agree with largey and FlamingGinja. Our Transfer activities is poor to say the least and still we wait for Borini at the rediculous Fee of 14 Mill. Sort it out Gus and soon!

the only annoying thing from me is that other clubs seem to have no trouble recruiting players yet we are still waiting! what's Congerton doing?? very little apparently!

Borini linked on Sky sites with Napoli, it's not just Alex Salmond that needs a plan B&C

Napoli coach Rafa Benitez is considering a raid on his former club Liverpool for a couple of players, according to reports in Italy. Tuttosport claims that, with Mario Balotelli on his way to Anfield, Napoli are interested in a loan deal, with a view to a permanent arrangement, for Fabio Borini, who is also wanted by Sunderland.
