Viana was hardly a winger though despite being shoved out there for the majority of his rare outings. He said himself often enough that his position was more central.

Ferraribéry!

are you all there?? the defender was the kid from kiev, and the whole world found out yesterday that he wasnt coming!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nonsense. Roeder wouldn't tell the supporters that he was looking to sign a bloke in the next 48 hours without even knowing how good he is. It's all smoke and mirrors. I bet we have actually signed this unknown defender and have simply not released a statement just to make the end of the transfer window a bit more fun and exciting for the rest of us. /guuuurr

Quite, the only actual quotes referring to our transfer kitty were from Roeder himself. But, whatever. Someone has been telling porkies and the only way to sort this out is a........ FIIIIIIGGGGHHHHT!!!!!! http://www.hdfa.co.uk/sffred.gif http://www.hdfa.co.uk/sfolly.gif http://www.hdfa.co.uk/sfglenn.gif :lol: Do you mind if I add those to the smiley index? They're a bit rough but no bother, anyone can have 'em.

0 (ZERO) HOURS AND NO STATEMENTS. THE DEFENDER HAS DECIDED. IT'S ALL OVER. ALL HOPE IS LOST.

It's like 24 only with 48 hours instead of 24. Previously on 48: *plunk.......plink.......plunk......plink* "Gimme the list, Glenn." "The FUNDS, Freddy. GIMME THE FUNDS!" "You've got 48 hours to bring this guy in Glenn. Don't let me down...." *cut to Roeder on phone* "Yeah, Gavrancic.......yeah.......he's WHAAAAAT?..........Worse than fucking Ramage? Are you sure??!......FUCK A DUCK!" The following takes place between 13:01 and 14:00 on the 26th of January 2007. *plunk.....plink......plunk.....plink* Quality. 3 HOURS!!!!!!!!!

So when exactly is Brett Emerton signing? Have a bit of patience. Long gone are the days you could organise a transfer in 48 hours. I've been patient for 25 and a half days mate! I've been patient for 25 and a half years... mumble... grumble...

I really don't believe that Roeder would be so stupid. That kind of comment would inevitably backfire if he knew it wasn't true. This has Shepherd's fingerprints all over it. I don't expect the club to buy players, but I do expect honesty. don't think Shepherd has been honest to either fans or manager. Well I'll tell you what, IF Shepherd has lied to Roeder and told him there was plenty cash and has now pulled the rug out from under him, then the onus is on Roeder to either go public with it or walk out. Sorry, but no manager is going to stand for that and nor should they. So unless I see one of the above happening then I very much doubt that Shepherd lied to him. To be honest Roeder is not gonna walk out or speak out even if that has happened to him. He's 51, has a family to support, obviously has some affection and won't be wanting to lose probobly his last shot at managing a big club. Walking out and speaking out are the same thing I'd imagine, either way you'll be leaving the club. Don't forget Roeder is on a rolling contract, all Fat fredd has to do is decide not to entend and Roeder will be gone. My sympathies lie with him, but that is not the kind of man you want in charge if that is the case now is it.

4 HOURS! :confused2:

I trust Alan Oliver, and while it may be hard to take, as a hard hitting journalist he is right to reveal that Glenn 'significant funds' Roeder is quite simply a sickening and outrageous liar.

You do realise that defender was Gavrancic and the deal broke down, so there will be no new signing in the next few hours. Gavrancic was a smokescreen.

4.5 HOURS. GETTING EXCITED.

5 HOURS? IS IT FIVE HOURS LEFT UNTIL THAT DEFENDER COMES? :clock: GLENN!?!?!?

HOW MANY HOURS LEFT!?!?!? http://www.toontastic.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/firefirefire.gif

Bugger, not even Serbian telly then. Sorry. /it's like smoking, unless it's banned from all message boards, I'll keep habitually lighting up. //not a good analogy I'll grant you. ///or a good excuse, to be fair.

Sod it, if this fella is no better than any of our defenders, can we at least sign him as a striker. Serbian goal machine Goran Gavrancic - <find it yourself, you can undoubtedly guess where to look>

Glenn Roeder has 'significant' funds available to him and will be cautious in how he spends it. That is how Glenn Roeder has described the position and policy of Glenn Roeder. Are you calling Glenn Roeder a godamned liar?!?! > You mean: "Are you calling Glenn Roeder a goddamned liar?!?!" There, I fixed it for you. Thanyou.

...and beers. :-[

"There's a pint or equivalent in it for anyone who agrees to be interviewed!" When yo say equivalent do you mean to say you would give me £2.50. Sweeeeet, I can get two cans of Kestrel Super for that.

All I care for is the end product (and I think we may yet get it). But all this jabbering just leads to expectations and frustration. It would be better off phoning Clubcall if you want to find out the inner workings of our transfer dealings. The man is a pure cock tease.

Nobody is forcing Roeder to do the "within 48 hours", "pole position" speeches. I'd be happier hearing nothing from him if the alternative is desperate half-truths designed to appease. What would you do if a microphone and camera were shoved in your face, mate? I'd tell them to fuck off. For Roeder, a simple no comment or 'we are doing our best and you will be the first to hear if we make any progress' might suffice. Maybe even, a repeat of the 'I hate it when people talk about other managers players' speech. *cough* ;-)

If it isn't up to him he should speak out or resign. Besides, he say's himself that there are 'significant' funds available and he is simply being cautious.
