Dave Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Four weeks left, but at what point do prices become 'out of our range' because other clubs don't want to sell their best players so late? They've told us this before when justifying not buying, so why would the stance have changed? We've had fucking months to prepare and no international tournament in the way, it's a joke.

Pardew said in the last week that August was the month we would see real movement with other clubs doing deals. Well, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt (again) and will see if this movement of players will see us bringing some players in rather than shipping them out. I'm now assuming we have plenty of potential deals ready and waiting for the pieces to fall into place. Four more weeks. That's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two words could be followed by any other combination of random words and have as much chance of being true. Pardew said we'd have a player in before we went to America, didn't he? He talks shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I hope you're right Tron, but in the meantime we are putting at risk nine valuable points (including away to the mackems) and a Carling Cup match. Then we have to hope these new players fit in straight away or that's more time wasted. Considering the resources we have at our disposal (you can't tell me that because we've waited other clubs have simply forgotten about the money we received for Carroll), our team/squad's urgent needs, the farcical US tour which has seen our 'best team' fragmented virtually all pre-season and the amount of time that has already passed, they're already out of excuses IMO.

I agree in principle, but this seems to be the norm for even the best teams with the biggest budgets. Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea still haven't done their serious business in the window so it just seems to be the way these things work. Laughable though it seems I will still wait to see if this applies to us. It would beggar belief not to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we've signed no one by then I might give the Arsenal game a miss because I'm not going to watch us getting stiffed voluntarily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hearing "Where are the goals going to come from" makes me want to hit something. Nowhere you titanic t***. They're not going to come. We won't score 10 all season. Derby, the worst team this league's ever seen by some margin, somehow got 20 despite being literally worse than 11 kitted-out cinder blocks set on the field. And we won't score half that, because I can't see where they'll come from either because I'm a goddamn retard too. Shut up. Die. Do shots of bleach, improve your outlook on life or at least improve mine by vacating this planet. We're not scoring goals. There's no way we'll get any. f*** this thread for the 4th year running.
