Disgusted, yes, Suprised,no!
As I write there is an hour and a half of Transfer window left. It looks as though West Ham are going to sign.......
......Nobody!
Anybody else think the whole 6-7 million to spend on a striker was total fabrication? Why were we so heavily interested in Baros when there was no apparent chance of us being able to sign him and then when he starts to lower his expectations and signs for Villa, we're not interested? Why did we not put in an offer for Dean Ashton? How come the signing of Adebayor fell through? Could it all be an elaborate show to make the board appear ambitious? A PR stunt? By my counting we've not even spent half of the funds that were apparently made available at the beginning of the summer.

It's all a conspiracy Dave! Haven't you heard, it was part of the Carrick deal.
Seriously, you may have a point. Perhaps Baros made it clear that he did not want to come here. Perhaps we've had offers turned down - since the clubs knew how much we had to pay, they could jack the price up a bit to keep their players.

Well it's closed now. We have our squad for the season.
As you say, disgusted, yes, surprised, no!
