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.

hoppaz 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 I am sure Mike will save you a bacon sarnie on deadline day for that eternal optimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 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...

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.

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? 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? It's just daft Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
