Who do you want to see come in? Are you going tomorrow?

I am going tomorrow but by the looks of it there won't be too many following me. I've already bought my ticket to go to Arsenal on Tuesday too.

For me there's three obvious positions we need filling right midfield (can't just rely on Coleman), left midfield now Pienaar's gone and a striker. Left side I'd love us to pinch Kranjcar, he's available and probably fairly cheap I was hoping Moyes would do a deal when the Pienaar transfer was going through. As for a striker, like Saddened, pretty much anyone we can get out hands on. So many strikers have moved in this transfer window and yet no doubt Moyes will say on Tuesday we tried but no one was available. We only need a body for 6 months, someone that can stay injury free and score some goals but I've resigned myself to the fact we won't sign anyone. You fancy relying on Saha and Beckford until May? I don't, really don't.

Makes me question Moyes' reasoning evenmore for letting Yakubu, Pienaar and Vaughan go if we aren't bringing anyone in.

It would appear so.

Have I missed something? I know the yanks are funding it, just wondering why they wouldn't let Hodgson sign anyone?

He did sign players.

Moyes is on Sky saying Everton won't be signing anybody.....I also expect Neville to complete his move to Spurs, so I reckon being an Everton fan is going to become more and more tortuous.....

Why do you expect Neville to go? He's our captain and if Moyes is saying no signings, why sell Neville? Whats the point? Spurs won't pay more than £2m for him given his age so I can't see the reasoning behind it.

I expect Moyes to quit soon or at the end of the season, unless it's his idea to not sign anyone, he always did have a reputation as a ditherer.

If you can't 'get it', just give up. It really isn't complicated, just look at the dates from when the owners took over, to Roy getting sacked. It has taken us about three weeks since his sacking to sign somebody, a signing made by Comolli.

One day, just one day, you will grip common sense by the balls and master it.

Meireles £12m
Konchesky £4M
Poulsen £5M

He spent a few quid, 1 hit and 2 misses. He wanted to sign Carlton Cole, you can understand why the club didn't back him.
You seem a little upset at this news!! Liverpool now have 2 world class strikers on board.

Neville wants to go, Champions League or wallowing in the finanacial mess at Goodison, there is little choice, Redknapp doesn't hang around when he wants a player either....Expect him to be gone by Monday night.

I agree Moyes will be gone soon...Expect him to see out the season and then I think he'll end up at a Villa or Birmimgham type of club.
