papo Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 He'll be very good for them if it's true. They're building quite a team, unfortunately. and then, they will finish the season in mid table again... :-) new world-class manager, new quality players... i'm sorry to say but now that's harder to believe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Obviously KK really does believe he only needs one or two players to get the team going. Going to be a long summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie jamie Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 probably due to lack of transfer activity and rumours but i BELIEVE KK will get quality players that we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 How is that obvious? Because the lack of activity is dangerously low. You'd think we'd be trying to shift some of the shit as well, but nothing is even being strongly linked out. Reckon KK thinks they are good enough, Smith, Duff and the likes of. Worrying for me.

Dave Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Do you know what activity is going on then? Or are you just going off what the press are saying? Although as I've already pointed out, maybe they're closer to the mark than I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Obviously KK really does believe he only needs one or two players to get the team going. Going to be a long summer. What about the constantly repeated 4 or 5 players comment? Or the mention of two lists of players for every position? Keegan isn't a liar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are close to the mark when were being linked with nothing of note, not getting anywhere near a deal at best going to watch a player while there's a power struggle going on.

Worrying for me. its very early days tbf afraid i'm erring on TT's side...not sure what benefit there can possibly be for the club in not making early moves (to sign new and ship out the shite), all these "don't worry be happy" merchants can't answer that question it's 2 days before the window opens and a week before the euros - spurs and arsenal have already started moving to secure players before values soar i'm not a panic merchant about this but my gut feeling is that the rumoured conflict with keegan/wise etc... is very real and very unlikely to resolve itself easily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 We needs some early signings or this summer will be a disaster. Incredible hyperbole IMO. Everyone would prefer to get the players in on day one (including the manager and the club, I'd imagine), but it simply doesn't work like that.

We all hope they are right, but past shows its us who end up calling the correct outcome and the club stalls for another season. Just don't want it to happen again, and the longer this goes on, the more likely were the correct ones again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
