it seems the "planners" don't have a "plan" or even a "plan B" Why are you banging on about a plan? Is this all you have to say? Pathetic tbh. Another NE5 super thread with NE5 talking utter shit and boring everyone to death. Well done you troll.

I assume you're talking about defenders here. Do you really think that signing new defenders to play in a game less than a week away alongside players they have never even trained with before will significantly improve the defense for that game? Is this the same Tottenham who have been able to play their first choice defense for the vast majority of the season and have conceeded the same number of goals as our makeshift one? Its not unknown for professionals who are the top of their game (EPL standard) to be able to adapt quickly in certain situations. I'm sure an experienced defender will be able to put in an astute performance even though he doesn't know his team mates, it happens at NT level all the time, players are in and out of the squad and I'm sure one of these professional athletes with 10 years in the game could easily out perform a 17-19 year old who's played 2-3 games with the senior team, and probably only had 3-4 weeks training with the 1st team under their belt anyway. But on your point, when we do get new defenders in we must wait even longer for them to settle, so end of Feb or March should do it. :roll: I'm sure the current lot will hold out till then. Which other Tottenham do you know of? Well I know he's not a defender, I'm not sure he's even a footballer tbh, but your theory of an experienced player being able to perform this quickly didn't apply to Luque, for example. Two games then injured for some several months will do that tbh, then again, am not talking about buying foreign players either. But lets not turn this in to another Luque thread, i'd rather concede the point than talk about him all day. Why would it turn into a Luque thread unless his rent-boys come screaming to his defence like a load of girls? Fact is he's an experienced player who certainly hasn't been able to do a thing even after all this time, let alone after a couple of days. I'd rather they took their time and bring in the right players. This won't be easy if we're going for the right quality. Getting the right player can take time, and it can take a few days. Just because the club is waiting or hasn't signed anyone doesn't mean the player that comes in is going to be of any better quality than one signed now. It could quite possibly be the other way round as when desperation kicks in, even crap players values start to rise come the window closing.

nah, you're wrong. You have to "plan" before the deadline, and everything always goes smoothly, you always get who you want when you want, and it equals guaranteed success. The league and FA Cup are yours. There must be one hell of a lot of teams out there with no "plan" ........ :lol: Talking shit comes second nature doesn't it? please tell us who mentioned a "plan".......and please tell us if it guarantees success, why the 87 clubs who haven't done as well as us over the last decade don't have a "plan" As I said, don't let facts cloud any judgement you might feel you wish to make. What facts are you dishing out apart from your warped opinion? Do you live in the modern world, or is it always about the past with you? We are in a desperate position in terms of who we can play in the next game. One or two players coming in would help a great deal. It doesn't have to be millions spent, loans, swaps or any kind of good buying from the club would of done. We've two difficult games coming up, we lose against Birmingham and half our hope for the remainder of the season is gone, and with the team were going to put out against them, there is a distinct possibility that will happen. Alex Ferguson knew his club needed more strikers, even with Rossi coming back he went out and secured Larsson way before the window opened. But what the fuk would that cunt know about managing a football club compared to the likes of you? Tottenham, a club with a very good buying policy went out and secured players they wanted from the off, good on them, its why they are currently a step ahead of us, and their depth will no doubt show the game after our FA cup tie, while were probably still scratching our heads, and players values keep rising as our desperation kicks in. Spurs have qualified for europe once [or maybe twice] in the past decade. So much for their "plan". Buying an amount of players doesn't mean they will be a success, if they all flop then its a shit "plan". I see you mention manu as well. Thats 2 clubs. Well done. Is that it ? You wouldn't know lack of planning, desperation and a mediocre club if it hit you on the head with a rusty hammer if you think the past decade we have had has been mediocre or a symptom of a club with no "plan". You seem to be jumping on the word 'plan' like its your only argument, which to be fair it is, and i only said 'its not illegal to plan ahead' which makes your replies even more stupid tbh.

and all the great boards have spent millions in the last 3 days :lol: As they all spend more than we do Brilliant. None of them have half their team injured. We need bodies, we've had injuries since the summer, we've had them piling on top of each other for about the last two months, it hasn't got any better, its actually getting worse. We should of had players signed before the window opened, you can actually do that you know, its not illegal to plan ahead, its not that difficult to understand. Well its taken Shay Given 3 days before he's felt the need to say something as he knows the extent of the injuries we have, and he also knows what kind of cunt is in charge of the club. which is of course why he's been here for 10 years and signed a new contract. But don't let any facts get in the way of your daft knee jerk reaction expecting the shit board to yet again cough up millions more than all the other boards that are better WTF has that got to do with anything? Fuk me you just make it up as you go along. :roll: Money needs to be spent, i take it your happy for that not to happen?

We either sell Given this summer for big money, or keep him for life. I'd rather just keep him and when he retires, Krul will be able to take over. Have every faith he could be just as good as Given, fingers crossed.

Amazing stuff. Amazing reply from you and your brother.

We will lose this game.

No, its not on and the club are taking the piss. We should of had players signed before the window opened. If we dont have any intention of signing anybody then we are going the right way about it. I feel we may not spend a single penny.

NUFC 3/1 3rd Fav to land Ferguson Everton Fav, Villa 2nd.

And look how well Villa are doing without him.

Why do you think Neil Lennon's a fanny? People say he's dirty, he's not dirty, he's a steady, intelligent defensive midfielder who has had to endure more abuse than any footballer in Scotland for years. Probably even more abuse than Maurice Johnston received. He's had death threats, the works, all for the crime of being a Northern Ireland international who signed for Celtic. I sound like I have a Celtic allegiance, I don't, I couldn't give a fuck about them, but the Neil Lennon situation has spiralled out of control beyond belief, and it's just like a bandwagon people (not just Rangers fans) jump on. He is a fanny, and it's nowt to do with being a dirty footballer. I've seen him mouthing off at people from his motor, he's a proper prick. He loves the whole Old Firm thing, lives his life off it. Anything you read in the papers about "poor Lennon" is just spin, he's probably given as much as he's got. And the death threats he got were harsh, but it was a little ill-advised to say he would prefer to play for a United Ireland team, as opposed to N. Ireland. Lennon's a cunt, he plays on all the sectarian shit as much as anyone. Shame Shearer didn't make full contact tbh.

I went with £10m on a Left & Right back. Just think the defense and team plays so much better without Carr & Babayaro in it even with makeshift and youth players that if we got two quality players in, we'd be solid at the back, and even better going forward down the wings.

I thought I had it bad supporting England and Newcastle! bluebigeek.gif tongue.gif Aye, Scottish Toon fans have it hard don't they. Big chance he's ginger as well

I don't actually know, because i cant actually remember much of it, was too pissed.

He was a quite thin in his early days, but had a powerful shot on him and scored some crackers from long distance. Good positioning and natural goalscorer even then, did he not score a hattrick on his professional debut against Arsenal?

Thats what we said the time before that, and the time before that and the time before that...

Working off the reported amount available to GR in this window (£10m) how do you think the club should spend its money?
