Don't usually have time for this idiot. His weekly predictions on SKY are heavily biased against us, and give us very little respect, however in his assessment on sky this morning, he has given us the lowest grade of all the Prem teams in his summary of transfer window dealings- D. All other teams got C or higher. Have to say Im generally in agreement with his assessment, which is a worry. If you take their numbers and fill in some gaps, it looks like we have made £38m and spent £32m. And backs up what most people have been complaining about, with obvious gaps in our match day squad, we haven't recruited well enough. If you think we took points last year off Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, this year its unlikely to happen, so we need to pick up points from the middle and lower order teams who have all invested heavily, relative to us.
Where was their advisor Landon Donovan in all this, he must have seen our weaknesses surely. Full back, creative midfielder/winger, lack of an obvious captain leader. |  | | |  |

Since writing this, Chris Watham has written a good article on WOL, which gives an insight into some of the financial restriction FFP, we have to work within, which makes for good reading, and I have to say, sheds some light on what has gone on this window. However, he does question whether some of our recent dealings have been up to scratch | | | |

Just said similar thing on other thread. Don't like Merson but fair summary. We've slipped from competing for transfers with likes of Stoke, Everton, West Ham, Soton in our mid-table peer group, to being outmanoeuvred by Bournemouth, Watford, Palace and Sunderland and now grouped with the likes of Burnley, Hull, WBA and Boro. I'm glad the window is over. It's a clear indication what to expect from Yanks in terms of profit/dividends over playing squad and the joke that our DOF / recruitment process has become. |  | | |

Appeasement!
The article was probably prepared by Huw. When has Chris ever employed an investigatory manner to his work? |  | | |

Well, if we were worried about FFP then maybe we should have loaned Bony and not bought Baston.
Just a thought. |  |

Well yes.
Perhaps the majority of our fans will lap this up and if they do, job done.
All of them out! | | | |

I thought the FFP was being scraped anyway. |  |

Exactly. Thing is with this article is the timing. If it had come out on Saturday for example, at the same time as Curtis comments then maybe , maybe you could consider it.
This is nothing more than a pre written timed to detonate article designed to attempt to get the fans onside with what's just happened. In fact, this has been Chris's style for 5/6 months. | | | |

I'd continue to not have time for him too if I was you. we won't know whether this widow has been a success for at least another couple of months.
We've spent years being written off by clueless pundits, why suddenly think they've got a clue now? We're always written off against the bigger clubs. Let's see how the season develops before we start to panic. |  | | |

I bet Merson had Newcastle at the top of the success chart last January, along with every other clueless c**t.
Including many of our lot. Stephen f***ing Naismith for £9m anyone.
It's amazing how little faith we have (me included) no matter how many times we prove that it can be done another way. I do feel deflated this time though, no denying it. |  |

Chin up
Chest out Mon
We've been written off every year by the experts
Keep proving them wrong
Although they'll be right one day , we won't stay forever and when we do drop we won't be up to our eye balls in debt . |  |

Not sure how we have been "outmanoeuvred" by Bournemouth and the other clubs you mention. Unless you mean the way they have thrown £15m at Ibe or £32m at Benteke?
We might not have spent as much or brought in as many players as those clubs but it remains to be seen who has done the best business. Remember Shelvey to Newcastle was apparently the best value transfer in Europe last January..... |  | | |

Paul Merson is the weakest football pundit across all the channels, he probably gets all his information from the back pages of the sun and the rest of the time he spends eating and playing golf. But I don't personally mind him because he provides a comic element and everyone is waiting for next mistake, which occurs every couple of minutes. | |

Is this the same Paul Merson who rated our last Summer window as A-? And Newcastle, Norwich and Villa as B's?
This has actually cheered me up a bit. All I need now is for Lawro to come along and predict we'll do a Derby and I'll be convinced we'll win the league. | |

Is he back on the shandy? |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Great post, glad you put the bit on the end.
This time around its gone too far, an abysmal month. Only positive is Gylfi signing a new contract. Obviously, we wait in anticipation on Baston, however, Wed probably make Messi look average the way we have played going forward.
Dyer back, new contracts for Routs, Leon (deserved) in his case. Not signing Allen.
We may all be proven wrong again, don't think so this time though.
Poor structure, a manager who has been around the block and an abysmal transfer window. |  |

Merson - who gives a shite what he thinks anyway? I have read on here that he hates us because we stuffed his Walsall team nine years ago. Nine years ago! Merson can't remember what he had for breakfast let alone what happened nine years ago in what, to be fair, was probably one of the most insignificant games in his career in football. He doesn't hate us, he doesn't know the first thing about us and so his comments about us are irrelevant. |  |

I don't believe that we had the worst transfer window.
Have Southampton adequately replaced Sadio Mané, Graziano Pellè and Victor Wanyama? West Bromwich Albion couldn't get rid of Saido Berahino so he's going to be moping around until the next window. Nobody important wanted to go to Sunderland, especially after David Moyes told them that they would be in a relegation battle. |  |
