A while ago, they told the ssn reporter we are done no more ins or outs.

They didn't, that was his opinion not an announcement from City

Yeah but then he said still some hope cos Marwood still at carrington working. So maybe there is an outside chance.

I'm really annoyed.

The football world is available to us, and we've sat on arses with our thumbs half way to our brains. Elia, Hazard, Bojan, Joaquin, Mata; all names we could have had today.

Well, I'm predicting 5th.

In what way are the players you've listed 'available to us'?

Mata has just signed a new contract, stating in the process that he wants to stay at Valencia. He's not available.

Bojan has just signed a new contract, stating in the process that doesn't want to leave Barca. Ever. He's not available.

Hazard has stated that he wants to go to Arsenal in the summer, and would therefore more than likely snub any advances we made, so isn't available.

Joaquin is shit - he may well be available, but he's exactly the kind of player we shouldn't be just chucking money at so we can say we've signed somebody.

Elia I'll give you, but he hardly represents 'The Football World', so I don't see whay's worth getting upset about in terms of us not signing him.

A classic bit of Bluemoon Drama-Queenery. The fact is that there was fook all time left to sort a decent player out, and very limited availability - we'd have been in danger of overpaying on another average player, who we'd be desperate to get rid of 12 month's time but would be unable to because we'd be paying them such high wages because their agent had us over the barrel on deadline day.

We've done enough of that over the past couple of seasons to know its not the route to success.

They were just examples of wingers who we could have had on loan until the end of the season.

Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool have all strengthened, we lose Johnson, Balotelli and Adebayor until the end of the season, but keep Jo. We have nobody. What happens when Silva or Tevez miss a game? We have Wright-Phillips to replace him... and then what?

Disappointed is not the word.

We can have 6 month loan moves.We don't necessarily have to buy all the time!

Disappointing if true but we still have a group of players more than capable of finishing in the top 4.

I can see 'arry making a big signing before the window closes though.

We have strengthened with Dzeko - Balotelli is not out for the rest of the season

I agree with the top 4 bit. But nobody can serious look our team at the minute and over last few games n say we are the finished article, we have no real pace in the team and anybody who can beat a man.
