According to the bookies: We're favorites for Sinclair and Kalou. 9/1 for WelBECK and 10/1 for Richards.

Well we better hurry up as we need reinforcements as soon as possible. God only knows why we wait for the last week of the transfer window. When we end up with player nobody else wants and have to pay over the odds.

We were odds on for Micah Richards a few weeks ago. At various points over the summer we've also been favourites to get Ashley Williams, Curtis Davies, Steven Caulker, Jordan Mutch and Michael Dawson. Those didn't work out too well. Although to be fair we were odds on to get Rodwell, so I suppose one out of six isn't bad. Hopefully the twelfth player we're linked with will be Lionel Messi.

Whatever happens between now and the end of the transfer window the way we have dealt with some of the transfers this summer has been a shambles!

The offloading seems to have been reasonably well managed- with a couple more to go I hope- but retention and recruitment have both been poor. We lost most of the loans and out-of-contracts we wanted to keep- Alonso, Borini, Ki, Colback, possibly Bardsley- and while we did get a few early Bosmans (not any better than the players we lost) the key signings needed in defence, midfield and attack have not been made. While we are better organised than last year, Poyet did not get to develop his preferred style with the new players we hoped for, and though they are trying it is clear that some of our senior players are reaching the end of their Premier careers and do not move or think quickly enough to play the way he wants. But supporters expectations have obviously been depressed too as rumoured arrivals failed one after another to materialise, In fact the level of satisfaction many have shown at the very ordinary performance against a dreadful ManU demonstrate that many are already settling for the customary diet of crumbs.Unless a couple of important signings arrive before the weekend is over this will be another season of missed opportunities.

Agree with you Brandon unless Gus has a few suprises up his sleeve in the next few days questions have to be asked!. and well then have to manage with a threadbare squad till Janurary . we certainly don't want to be bottom of the table again this Christmas!

The players we let go were atrocious, colback was awful for 3 seasons,had half a good season, bardo at the best of time couldn't be arsed, craig gardner was awful, too slow for the prem and westwood was also a poor dodgy keeper, now we've replaced them with gomez, one of the best players wigan has had for a few seasons now, jones whos been a premier league starter at right back for the last 3 seasons, pantilmon who was eeeeasily better than joe hart but had to settle for 2nd fiddle most probably because of merchandising purposes, also brought in a player in rodwell who they were hailing as one of the best british youngsters to come through the ranks for yesrs. Jesus give the lads a chance for god sake I don't think we've done too bad in the market if you ask me!!
