AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I wouldn't be excited at all, but I guess signing players is good in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'd take a Cabayeish CM as main priority, as they seem to gambool on a small squad anyway. Second would be a ST I guess, then LB and CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It's pretty incredible how we're just sleepwalking into relegation like. Even the Villa fans went apeshit Saturday, what's it going to take for our manager, MD, owner, and of course fans to wake the fuck up? From Ashley's side I'm wondering if he's reached the point where he thinks another 50m plus wages isn't worth the gamble in case they go gown and are saddled with the wage bill. Sounds like the sort of fucking idiotic thing they'd do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the sort of f***ing idiotic thing they'd do. Expectations re so low now, I went to a wedding during he holidays and one of my best mates still has his season ticket. We were arguing again over the plight of the club and how people just accept and still go. He got all defensive as usual but its clearly wrangling him inside, I can see it. He mentioned that we played well for 20 odd minutes. That's what expectations are "well we played well for 20 minutes" that is the sum of our expectations now. He also mentioned that he is getting his ST cheaper, I came back with "its not a good thing in reality as the product on show is fcking bad Ashley has to lower his prices, do you not see this" So in short, the fan base is fucked.

NG32 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 CB, LB, CM and a CF with blistering pace. Is that all? Well if it was me, id add another CM to the list. CB to replace Colo, LB to bring balance to the team going forward, two CMs, one play maker and a new defensive mid to sit and hold. A CF with blistering pace to work with mitro. Of course none of the above will be purchased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of. Ah man People went nuts and protested when Souness couldn't get in the top 10, people were massively disappointed when SBR only picke dup 5ht place, now people just accept utter garbage as if that's all there is. There are no alternatives apparently, this is it. Ashley has successfully killed off any fan expectations. He has carried out his media campaign and killed off any dissent.

They seemed pretty confident that was a done deal to the mackems on the radio the other day. Well it'd be good for banter I suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The last thing we need is Andros Townsend like. Well I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at him. His career has come to a standstill, but he's shown he can be effective at this level. He's better than what we've got for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Who would even make way for Townsend? He had a good season on the right wing but Sissoko can't exactly be trusted doing the hard work in the centre midfield position. I think I'd rather see Thauvin given a run in the team over signing Townsend. We've definitely got more important areas that need strengthening.

Andymc1 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I don't think he'd be a bad signing but I think we have severe problems in other areas. We're desperate for better players at left back, centre back, centre midfield and centre forward. I would like another winger but there's bigger problems in other areas.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The last thing we need is Andros Townsend like. Well I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at him. His career has come to a standstill, but he's shown he can be effective at this level. He's better than what we've got for sure. For what? like a month. Plus his effectiveness was basically cut inside and shoot into the stands. Hardly effective at all, if he wasn't English no one would give a shit about him.

Would be typically us to sell one of our bigger players while in the relegation zone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 A new manager should be our priority this month, followed by a proper centre forward, a central midfielder and a left back. If we get those 4 people in we may stand a chance of staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
