midds Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 MA: get me promoted please. RB: how much have I got? MA: you’ll need to bring in 30m more than you spend to balance the books because I fucked up. RB: no bother, there’s the title, we’re up. MA: ok, now keep me in the pl. RB: how much have I got? MA: every penny we generate from promotion. RB: sure? MA: ...yep..... MA: lol. 15m max. Mug. RB: Imagine any other manager having to persuade and convince the owner to spend a bit of cash to protect his own investment. Jesus fucking Christ.

Pandamninator Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Pressure now on Penfold to try and deliver 3 new faces by the end of the month with a budget of slazenger socks and donnay training tops. What's Shefki Kuqi up to these days? I'd wager both of the other promoted clubs will outspend us by eight figures this window. Again. But Leeds, Portsmouth, Ashley saved the club, Keegan wanted to spend 200 million on Beckham, we finished 5th once don't you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 18th of January and no transfers appear to be close. Takeover aside this is absolutely criminal, when we go on another bad run and possibly get relegated I hope people remember these transfer windows before assigning blame.

Infinitely Content Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 18th of January and no transfers appear to be close. Takeover aside this is absolutely criminal, when we go on another bad run and possibly get relegated I hope people remember these transfer windows before assigning blame. As a positive spin on this, our signings always seem to come out of nowhere. Rarely are they picked up more than a day or two before being announced.

r0cafella Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It maybe the case but imagine if like Liverpool we had someone in ready to go, the two points dropped against Swansea could have been two points gained instead we get this penny pinching nonsense.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 29 and all his career in Slovakia, Denmark & Czech Rep. Sounds class. I don't think I'll worry about that, if Rafa has seen him enough and thinks he's an improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It might be we are shifting a goalie ourselves and Rafa wants a replacement lined up before we move our keeper on. Freeing up some salary space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Rafa clearly sees it as a vital position. I was talking to a lad at football last night who said he played a few games with an ex-pro GK who was on his way down the leagues. He said he's never experienced anything like it - constant talking, shouting, organising, encouragement etc. Different to any other keeper he'd ever played in front of. I haven't played much 11 a side but I guess a really intelligent, vocal goalkeeper can be invaluable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be absolutely staggered if Dubravka is an invaluable keeper given his career up to this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
