hold on, are you saying ashley should let his 100m+ just ride like? Probably not, but serves the cunt right for not doing the due diligence when he bought us. Fat cunt. nonsense No it's not. He didn't do due diligence, only absolute idiots would spend 125M on a business and not actual see any of the books. in actual fact i think you'll find gambles are made in business every day of the week, what tends not to happen is when a gamble is lost temporarily the billionaire in question just says "aye well, 150m down already, suppose another 100m isn't that much to miss" there's no fucking reason why he shouldn't want his money back, as objectionable as he is So when we get £63m+ from the Premier League this season, it's ok for him to take the lot in your view? I would allow him £2.5m Deal?

Whilst this is correct, you cannot expect said idiot to just take the debt on the chin and scratch it off as "his bad". NUFC's shit management made the debt, NUFC will pay off the debt. Not that I think this should affect our transfer spending in any way.

Wondering if Bale will be in the Championship in 2 years time. Or maybe RVP will be upfront for Yeovil next year? Maybe the Writers Footballer of the Year award can fuck off into obscurity on the back of this. One can hope.

STFC Chairman Jed McCrory has confirmed that the Club have signed Nile Ranger on a one year contract with requisite caveats vis-a-vis his ongoing legal case. “Having spent a few weeks in discussions with Nile explaining our vision and the values of the Club and what we would be looking from him, I feel that with rigorous support from the Club, Nile could prove a valuable asset to the squad,” he said. “I am obviously aware of Nile’s personal matters, but I have always believed in giving people second chances. We will provide all the support he needs and it is up to Nile now to prove the star quality player he is – which we as a club believe he will. And of course, I am pleased that Nile has chosen to join Swindon despite having been offered commercially more attractive terms from other clubs.” Read more at http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/article/chairmanonranger-996683.aspx#F68y3P0EdxmJKdDY.99 Twat.

We were 1 trophy behind Swansea.

Si. Unless he's got a lot worse in the last 2 years, I'd be far happier with him coming off the bench than Shola.

(Similar age, more goals, better all round player)

Disagree.

MOAR STRIKERS!!! MOAR!!! And yet i wouldn't want any of them. Depends what you're meaning here. Ideally, I'd have no need for any of them, but we're in a far from ideal scenario right now, and I think any of them would improve our squad immeasurably. Shola

He'll score 13 goals this season across all competitions. An uninspiring, but not disastrous tally. Done.

three bigs drop Might as well have gone whole hog and went with "scores" instead of goals.

Despite all the issues at the club, I still feel like we can realistically hope to finish higher than 41st.

I learned that stats are fucking pointless and gave up like a trooper.

I'm not in love with Welbeck, but he's certainly the type of striker we need. Much more so than Darren fucking Bent.

You're all cunts. I was going to spend my evening doing valuable life things, but now I'm going to be looking through back catalogues of Michael Bradley performances. And it's not like it's going to be a goal reel, it's going to be 4000 sideways passes I'll report back with my findings tomorrow, put this thing to bed.

Plenty of clubs that finished above us have invested significantly. If they needed to, why don't we? Because the policy now is to only spend what we generate? Does that make it acceptable, because it's our policy? It is what it is. We are unlikely to see Ashley ploughing extra money in to facilitate a signing so we don't have much choice, but if that meant we had no money and couldn't compete then of course it wouldn't be acceptable for us as supporters. But that's by the by, we should be generating money, and we do have a budget. What it may mean though is that we have to use what money we have fairly carefully and might struggle to increase an offer for Gomis without affecting our chances of getting the right left winger in. This is possibly why Kinnear made the point that they needed to get the striker situation sorted before moving on to other areas. If we come out of this window with just Monsieur Remy mind, the whole fkn lot of them need pelting with s***. IF?! Yeah, if. I don't see it myself as I think it's pretty reasonable to suggest that we have a fair of money allocated for this window. We're just having a 'mare trying to get the players we want for the prices we feel comfortable with. It's like going to Saville Row with 100 GBP (a "fair amount of money" some would say) and not being able to get yourself a bespoke suit. We undervalue other club's players (and constantly say it would take a king's randsom to buy one of our own), and indeed actually target players that we believe we can get under market value. It's not really surprising that other clubs often won't play ball, or that we are not seen as an ambitious club heading in the right direction by some of the players we target, because we're not and we're trying to take other clubs for a ride by targetting players with contractual issues etc. On the one hand this is clever, but not so much when it's the only policy you know, regardless of the needs of the squad or the manager. Great point this. "It'll take £20m for Tiote to go anywhere, btw can we have Debuchy for £4m please?" Analogy needs fleshing out. Needs to mention that the shops are only open for 8 hours Needs to mention you've got a massive interview tomorrow morning Needs to mention you spent 6 hours sat in one place begging the assistant to sell you a £200 suit for £50 Needs to mention the £200 suit is marked down from £1000 already Needs to mention "begging" really means you sat there playing candy crush for 5 and a half hours and then quietly asked the shop keep if you could have the suit on the cheap. and he couldn't hear you because you whispered it so quietly

I think I hate all of the options for a 2 man midfield partnership tbh I'd throw him in my 3, but I don't see what you all seem to see in him. He's solid, but unspectacular from what I've seen. Though admittedly I haven't studied him quite so intently as you fellas.

I'm not convinced he'd walk into our XI. If we played 5 midfielders (3 CM), then he'd likely be in the XI. With 4-4-2 staring us in the face, I don't think he'd start.

Totally agree, difference is Souness resigned, this knacker would hang on to the bitter end. That Scottish pig did not resign! He was sacked oddly enough after a night match hammering off.......Man City! Was at that game. Was such fun.

The state of his kitchen all but confirms this.

It's good for him, but is he really no better than Carlisle? Would've been nice if a shitty Championship club went in for him. Or a top L1 club.
