    There's probably a half dozen examples at a smaller scale in Germany or Holland of clubs who are just well ran though. Man City are just an example of a team who did it through spending.

     

    Just feels like we should have atleast hunted down a well renowned scouting network or something.

     

    It’s incredibly lazy to say teams like Chelsea and Man City have bought success.

     

    Aye, they’ve spent a lot of money on it but they’ve also massively improved the clubs behind the scenes. In different ways too.

     

    Man Utd and Everton are two current examples of how just throwing money at something doesn’t equal success.

    I never used to bother with RTG, but it’s a good escape from the shite we are in at the bottom of the league, it’s so funny reading some of their shite, but also a microcosm of just how batty, dangerous and absolutely loathsome aspects of our society has become to common sense, decency and debate and how especially backwood mackemdom is. Chickentown indeed!

     

    It’s really addictive to read based on how batshit crazy they all are :lol: No other forum comes close to it. 
     

    Their takes on almost everything are so wide of the mark.

    Like Longstaff did?  Sure there was nothing in that agreement other than he will train.

    Agree, if he is not going to get minutes there is no point him going. 

     

    Agreements to play a certain amount of minutes or games are very rare, aren’t they? Why would Luton sign up to that when he could be absolutely bobbins.

    Why is it whoever dares be slightly negative is labeled a “Fanny” immediately over there . It’s like they all want to be hard 

     

    I personally think it’s outrageous.

  5. They absolutely love the goalscoring return of bang average strikers :lol: 

     

    If they fuck up this year man. RTG will need some support if they stay down and we stay up.

    And played Watford without a striker? We'll still need to recruit for those positions but we pretty much have to win on Saturday. We spent all game last week crossing to the ghost of Callum Wilson. Having a actual live striker in there is massive. If we can get some results before the end of Jan we may find people more willing to join. 

     

    You do know there are other strikers we could buy for the same price? We’ve had plenty of time, it’s not like Wilson got injured yesterday.

     

    I’m not sure a striker totally out of form is a great move. But, as I said, I’ll give him every chance and get behind him.

    If we had to settle for Wood, how in the world are Burnley going to find someone better for that money?

     

    I love this signing. We are weakening a direct competitor in our mini-league and he's a proven goalscorer in the PL. Getting +10 goals per season in that Burnley team isn't exactly poor resume. Fee we paid is insignificant, if he helps us avoid relegation he was a bargain.

     

    Apart from Cornet who they bought for less than that money? They could easily find a good replacement, we’ve also given them the whole of January to find one.

    For £20m we could probably be going for someone like Cabral, man.

     

     

    Would rather throw an extra £10m each at Sevilla and Lille for Costa and Botman than £20m for Wood like.

     

    If he’s coming in to be our third choice striker behind Wilson and another, I can about accept it.

     

    If he’s coming in to play every week Wilson is out, this is a mental signing.

    Does he definitely still have a source? He hasn't posted a line-up for ages, which points to the fact that he doesn't. It was weekly at one point.

     

    ITK’ery has turned vaguer and vaguer too. From team news to “watch this space” during a transfer window when it’s inevitable we’ll be making some moves.

     

    Think I’d be fairly confident to saying “I’m hearing we’re going to make signings” too.

     

    Was completely off the boil during the whole takeover too. But spot on for team news.
