No.

LOL at pretending everyone wasn't going on about how it had been the best window ever and we'd brought in loads of quality.


Evidence?

You look at these teams that get promoted and the calibre of players they sign, it really pisses me off how shit we did to try and stay in the division when we got there. Southampton, Swansea, Bournemouth, Palace, Hull, Middlesbrough etc signing quality Premier League players

Lots more money floating around in the prem now. When Swansea first went up they didn't spend the big bucks, same with Burnley, plus it doesn't gurantee anything. I don't believe any of them finished higher than we did in our first season in the prem.
I do agree though that once we got to the prem we were so unprepared in our transfer strategy.

Oh well looks like another season of struggle with a lack of goals.

Really big pressure on Kermogant, Beerens and Swift for our goals me thinks

Isn't there always the chance for deals to be confirmed after the deadline? I'll sit around for a couple more hours.

It's not silly if these players keep you in the league to get another £90m the following season

I'm starting to think I should cash out on the bet I put on us winning the league when gyan looked like he was going to sign.

It is if it costs you £100m to do it.
