We never show enough intent in windows. Always the same naivety that we don't need improvement or that we can roll up on the last day and get our business done. Weak.

Yeah I don’t like that. Personally I didn’t want Barkley anyway but if the club are after particular players then I wish we’d show some imtent to get them. I’d imagine a player would feel quite flattered and important if a club/manager was showing a real desire to get them, with us it seems a case of ‘oh yeah we’d like to sign you perhaps....’ when we make our tentative move at the last minute.

I wasn't that into signing Barkley either but for £15m that seems pretty low risk with potentially very high gains. And this was a player who we were already aware was interested in joining us. Whatever your thoughts on Barkley, we can all safely say that signing him makes more sense than signing Sissoko did.
It amazes me how unwilling we are to be that bit more ambitious considering how close we are to genuine success.

Yeah fair enough. Wasn’t talking about Barkley in particular, more in general. But while we’re on the subject I’d imagine Chelsea laid all the groundwork in the last month or two which is the way to do things. Not claiming that as fact before one or two of the ‘Levy gets everything right all the time so do not besmirch his good name’ brigade pounce on that comment, just my gut feeling.
