I thought we would win at out of form Ipswich but would probably fail to land any of the many players we had been linked with over the last few weeks.
As it turned out we got absolutely stuffed at Ipswich? but picked up 3 reasonable players.
I still can't get my head around how we could lose 5-1 to Ipswich with 11 men, especially as we had a strong team out and had more shots on goal than them.
Maybe we should have been looking for defenders insted of the attacking options we picked up? although as we have only managed more than one goal in a game once in the last 3 months and that was 2 penalties so I can see the logic.
1. Nicky Maynard from Bristol City, we seem to have been linked with him for a while but it never looked like it would happen, he has 8 goals this season which doesn't look special but it's as many as our current leading scorer Carton Cole so could be a good signing if he gets a game and stays free of injury.
2. Ricardo Vaz Te from Barnsley is the ex Bolton player who disappeared for a while but has come back with a bang this season, I thought he looked a good prospect in his early Bolton days but never really made much of an impression after that.
Another player who has spent long periods out injured but seems to be on top of his game at the moment and if he is motivated could turn out to be a good signing.
3. Ravel Morrison from Man Utd, I admit I didn't know much about him but from what I've heard and read today he could be a bit special (or a disaster).
A highly rated attacking midfielder who was only shown the door at Old Trafford due to asking for 30 grand a week (not sure what we are going to pay him?) and the fact he can't stay out of trouble and is one more incident away from a jail term.
I heard Ferguson say "that he was better off out of Manchester" although East London is hardly going to be a better environment to stay on the straight and narrow.
Hopefully he is as good as he thinks he is and the £650k spent is the bargain of the season.
It was bad enough hearing the Hammers getting Hammered but my local mob Southend were also getting stuffed at home by Swindon again, although it's nice to see Paolo Di Canio getting his lot in the promotion spots proving the doubters wrong so far.
