Guest tollemache Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 mid-transfer window when we've signed one and come close to spending £8m or so on another, is probably the wrong time to moan about investment. Moan in February Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I for one won't be waiting for an elenth hour signing at the end of the transfer window if we have signed no one from now. The only way to get players who will make the difference now is to pay over the odds either in fees, agents or salary. We have such an unbalanced squad at this moment in time.

Wullie 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Moan in February. Are we not playing on Saturday like? everyone knows most of the business happens at the end of the window and there's nothing we can do about that, so it's daft to complain there's been no 'serious investment' halfway through the window. Especially when we've already landed one target and narrowly missed out on another. It's not like there are no signs of intent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wally_McFool Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's not like there are no signs of intent Signs of intent - you've been spinning that line for ages now Dekka. You've been rumbled. Your only intent is survivng in the Premier League on a shoestring. Finishing 5th must have been a big blow to you and Mike seeing as it raised the fans expectations, something you have been trying to quash since day one.

Guest tollemache Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What more intent do you want than signing France's first choice right back, getting a bid accepted for Remy and then bidding for another target in defence, in the first 2 weeks of the window? And that's just the ones we know about. You're just determined to be pessimistic which, for supporters, isn't very supportive. I'll wait til the dust settles I think, so as not to look like a tit in February, and if we haven't brought anybody else in at that point then I'll have a well-earned whinge.

Guest Wally_McFool Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We should be happy that we had a bid accepted for a player who then decided to tootle off and play for a club marginally bigger than Dagenham & Redbridge.

hoppaz 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.

Guest tollemache 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"?

Guest Dontooner Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What are the chances Pardew would be sack if we lost at Reading? What are the chances of players signing for a team without a Manager? And what are the chances we would get a Manager in before the Window closes? We are in a sequence of bad occurrences...Surviving the fall is real problem, some are just too optimistic. We only have 15 games after Reading and there are 5 in them we normally loose.... 10 Games..that doesn't fill me up with confidence at all.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
