I have to confess I tend more to Baggieman's sense of frustration. I fully agree that we should not buy players for the sake of it but it just seems that everything gets done at the last minute, it's as if we only twig that there's a transfer window open about 28th January. I know we were "associated" with players such as Schneiderlin but it must have pretty clear early on that that was not going to happen. We talk about Rodriguez for an eternity only to be told on the final day that Southampton were not going to sell, whilst we put in a token gesture enquiry for Callum Wilson one day before the window closes. If Pulis agrees that a striker is critical for us, that was obvious before January so why all the faffing about in January. If I had any confidence this coming summer transfer window will be different I'd feel better but experience tells me otherwise
