mrmojorisin75 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 i like how this dummy berates me for speculating about transfer values in the window yet confidently spouts that the window was "unlucky" and he knows we were "trying" to sign players it just didn't work out...

Guest tollemache Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The news stories identifying our targets and reporting on our efforts to get them were the giveaway. Unlike you I'm not relying on a command of precise figures. All I need to know to have a salient point is that we made concerted attempts to sign a centre half and a right back, and there's plenty of evidence for that in the public domain.

Guest tollemache Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm not taking the club's word for it - those transfer targets were very widely reported. See the Debuchy thread which seems to have made a comeback just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well, now that those fixtures are out the way, looking at Januarys fixtures, its make or break. Everton Brighton Norwich Reading Villa With Anita, Cabaye, Taylor, HBA (Hopefully) and surely a couple of additions, we can only hope for a good Month. I do think that when we get some numbers back we'll start winning games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The idea isn't that Ashley pays for it, it's that the club does. Which is fine. What I'm seeing here - lapping it up when we overachieve and then going mental and attacking the club hierarchy at the first loss of momentum - isn't really support in my book. It's the mentality of a casual consumer who expects to be satisfied at all times or he rejects the product. I'll be quick to have a go if I see Ashley pointing the club in the wrong direction but I'm certainly not going to have a go over an unlucky transfer window, in the context of the progress we've made in the last two seasons. Perhaps it would've been better had we finished 10th last season, because the level of expectation I'm seeing now is more or less back to Shepherd-era levels. One of the best things about going down and coming back up was that it represented a reality check, with a general acceptance that the club would now have to rebuild for the future. They did, and did it very quickly indeed with a host of great signings, and now it's as though it never happened. Its a football forum, its bipolar. I think deep everyone knows we have done well and respect it but we are having a tough period and fear our prem status. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been replaced a long time ago. in the next 4 league games he needs to seriously be looking to get 9 points, maybe 10, 6 would be a thin return, less than 6 and i think we're fucked like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Good presser. Seemed very determined that defence was the priority and it was very much up to the board to deliver. And while he gave me no confidence that we'll see Ba's situation resolved quickly, he seemed unmoved enough to make me think it won't have too much of an effect on his selection.

Guest Eggenberger Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 "We are pretty clear on where we are going. It is difficult with negotiations. They aren’t easy." “It isn’t really my department. I just cross my fingers and hope somebody walks in.” From todays chronicle. Doesnt seem like he has alot of say on the matter?
