Hold on, I never said I wanted anything.

All I said was that we've only been fun to watch for that month. It's not the end of the world, if we played like that all the time we'd win the league, but I think anyone who's seen us would agree that it's a fair comment. We're pretty ordinary to watch most of the time.

Good loan signing, he seems promising.

I'd happily take this season from now until whenever. Provided we don't completely capitulate (we won't), this is as good as it gets. Slightly depressing in itself, but that's football.

This doesn't mean I think we're fun to watch. We're not. We're on average no more or less fun to watch than we ever have been in the PL.

FWIW, I'd also happily have taken the 08/09 season every year.

The fun I have watching them play is the same regardless. I will always be glued to BWFC matches because in a second we could score and it'll make my Saturday.

Again, this hasn't changed for better or for worse under Coyle.

I don't get why people say it's a transition, what are we transitioning to? This is it. We're either mid-table mediocrity or we're going to get relegated. There are at least 8 teams in the league who regularly buy players that double or triple our record signing.

Aye. Two good signings. If we'd have scooped the midfielder Coyle was clearly after it would have been an excellent window.

Very true but even so when you think of the number of windows when we signed any old johnny foreigner on low wages at the last minute to appease the fans then this just like last jan under coyle is pretty good.

He is cup-tied. He played (and scored a couple) in Chelsea's seven niller V's Ipswich.

Anyway should be an interesting and different option up front - we've now got Lee, Sturridge and Moreno who are ruddy quick.
Not really.. He's a million times closer to Chelsea's first team, than he would have been at City

two young signings, hopefully shake things up a bit. Hopefully it will remind players no one should rest on their laurels.

I guess it must be true - cos here's the PSG - and it's not danny welbeck...

(for any journos who are not DSB tuning in, Sturridge is the one on the right as we are looking at it...)
