I have always felt Lvg was working towards something but he makes very strange decisions which at times are impossible to defend. The subs today left me shocked. Depay and Rooney deserved to be taken of more than mata and herrera. The goalkeeper made a shocking mistake which in all honesty went along way to proving we need a top keeper if ddg leaves.

All summer myself and others have spoken of the need to add a striker,right winger,centre half and keeper.

The net spend is at zero so are the owners holding back the cash? Is the coach to stubborn with the style and pointless possession that lacks penetration? I just don't know what to believe.

I think today may be a blessing in that it may show the club we need additions to this squad to make a challenge. If we fail to bring in top quality before the window closes then it suggests to me the club are settling for top4 or competing for a top 4 finish.

I have been telling my mates we need two players at the least to challenge so I'm not overreacting to the result today.

Lvg strikes me as stubborn and I don't think we will bring in any players unfortunately. Really hoping to be wrong on this.

150 million imo could really transform us but with a few days to go bringing in top players would be very difficut. Why the club have waited this long I don't know.

Personally If I may play manager.

Lloris 20 million
Garay 15 million
Griezzman 50 million
Muller 65 million
or something similar. Drastic yes but If we seriously want to compete with city in rhe league and the barcas and madrids its a must.

Love to hear fellow posters opinions of what we need and who.

{Ed004's Note - I expect there to be a big signing or two in the next few days...}

We needed a new spine, ST, CM, CB and a GK if De Gea left. We've added players (darmian being the best) but we have added no pace to the team which is another major thing that we lacked.

If we sign austin it will be a complete farce.

You are the ultimate optimist mate lol. Watching PSG against Monaco and watched a few other games this weekend ( Bayern, Juve, Inter, Real, Barca) all the top players in the teams that people constantly talk about are playing and no signs of any of them going anywhere. I would think if we were in discussions on any major player with 2 days to go, they would be scratched from the line up and on a plane for a medical.

This manager is so stubborn he will not move for anyone as it will cost us a fortune this late in the window and make the whole set up a laughing stock.

{Ed004's Note - Maybe he doesn't play for a top team...}

Like who? Everyone we are connected either plays for Bayern, Real, PSG, Athletico. Lacazette is the only player that is not part of those squads and ed002 has said a long time ago he is staying put.

I think we will see a goalie come in if DDG goes as Romero would be madness.

{Ed004's Note - It doesn't matter haha}
