madras Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 That intent was a transfer window too late so I have had to watch Mr X Factors Xsing for the last 6 months. We also made bids before but this line we have to cross seems 10 foot high and made of brick. Moan in the summer when we are in the championship. that intent was there last summer if we are to believe they moved the goalposts for debuchy, douglas's demands spiralled and put off more than just us and de jong chose to play nearer home and van der weil chose PSG over us. How many points are given out for intent at the end of the season? none, how many are given for purely buying players......the same ammount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Be interesting to hear what he has to say tomorrow as I would imagine he's just as pissed off about the Remy situation as the rest of us. Good that there's a 10 day break after the Reading game I reckon, give us chance to do some more transfer business... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well then, if we haven't brought anybody in at the end of the window, I'll have a very heavy whinge. I'm not that far behind the optimists like Ian W on here over some things but if this scenario develops do you think you'd come to the conclusion that the people running the club haven't got a clue what they're doing chancing it like this?

Guest Slippery Sam Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Moan in February. Are we not playing on Saturday like? This should all have been done on New Year's Day. Good moaning [\Officer Crabtree] I was moaning in August mate while you were no doubt telling people to "moan in September". Good moaning.

hoppaz Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Not sure what you mean by that, McFool, apart from perhaps "I am unable to mount a convincing argument and will now default to hurling pieces of poo like an unruly chimp instead"? Your not entirely sure about anything you read or scribble on this forum are you Dekka? That doesn't really hold water, as I've spent a lot of my time on here arguing quite vociferously in the face of lots of opposition. Starting to think you don't really think about what you write, so I think we have to cross you off the list of people worth responding to OK Mike and Dekka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me to conclude they really haven't got a clue I'd have to see evidence that they really had totally screwed up due to recklessness. If they work hard to get their targets, there's evidence of bids going in / being accepted but things just don't work out, I'd have some sympathy because that can always happen if you have any kind of transfer policy / wage structure whatsoever. If they really do drop a bollock I'll be the first to point it out, I just don't think they've dropped a big one yet and we're at a point where speculation is a bit futile. I'm certainly not determined to let them off the hook but why complain about investment in the midst of all these transfer bids?

madras Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I wish transfers were as easy to complete as some people on here think they are. more transparent aswell. some seem to be of the attitude that we should have got debuchy in the summer and not to was pure penny pinching while not having a clue (myself included) of the figures involved.

Hoof. oh i agree, see point 2, defending as a unit instead of two static, rigid banks of 4 and the lack of movement which gives little choice but to 'hoof'. as i've said we haven't played to our strengths.

madras Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Defending in two banks of four is not different to defending as a unit it is if they stand still and don't work as a group of 11 and appear to defend individually instead of as part of a unit.

Guest tollemache Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Disagree. Anyone with limited wealth and a remotely sensible approach can have a bad transfer window. To have two in a row would raise my eyebrow but the fact we brought in Debuchy so quickly in this window suggests the board were quite aware of that and moved to make sure it wouldn't happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 More like 10 days to look for a Manager. I would officially give up on this board if we still keep this monkey in place when we lose. The monkey is only there because he plays the piper's tune. I know he's a good friend of Mike and Dekka's but you'd think they could find a cheap and cheerful alternative who could use the available ingredients better.
