No it doesn't. But try telling that to the you tube rumour mill brigade, many of whom are speculating about huge transfer dealings in the coming window.

And in Gold's case it might not be him who decides when he fucks off. He's in his eighties and Mother Nature might have a say in his departure date.

I also keep seeing these frenzied videos claiming we are going to spend huge in the transfer window. The hosts of this site for one. It is most unlikely since

1) January is not a great time to spend huge wads as any decent player playing in Europe will not be viable. It is a window for those panicking
2) The money is mostly used to clear some of the debt and a chunk of it is being used on staff and infrastructure

Thankfully noone has said we are going to spend big but if there was ever an example of how fans get whipped up into a frenzy it is this. Has no one learnt anything from when we moved into this stadium.
I expect little to change. We already have a pretty high net spend from the summer (4th highest) and I would think maybe a striker and a CB on loan will be it.

As I said on a previous post, it is a good bit of news but I dont think it will change the basic dynamic of the project Moyes has started and he is slowly and steadily growing the club his way. I may be wrong but that is how I see it.

And to all those making videos, stop being so fucking obsessed with Rice's contract and let him be. FFS he will decide what is best for him not because there is a video a day trying to second guess him. You throw enough darts, you will hit a target so you can say I told you so next year but it whips the fans into a frenzy so when he leaves I suspect we will have marches again.

Andy , I totally agree , he's one for the future , got to be a better acquisition then Lingard . As for a striker , would love to see us go get either the German lad Karim Adeyemi . Still think we need a LB , as we do not have any cover for Cresswell , as for Oggy and his injury we still have Diop/ Dawson , now would be a great time to bring Alese through .

Thats a very good question, Tas. Might be ok for now but if he gets more ownership looks like uefa are looking to ban either club from competing. You might be living at the bottom of the world, some call it God's country, but you picked this conundrum.
