Dr Jinx Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 2 minutes ago, Colos Short and Curlies said: I was in Kos when Robert signed. Just remember thinking who? I was on a local holiday, had one of those WAP phones which cost an arm and a leg to go online for just a few minutes.. there was some sort of teamtalk type thing with basic text.. same, who? But they did mention he was a winger with a decent goals record. I think we’d already signed Bellamy at that point. Wasn’t particularly wowed by that signing either but Bobby knew what he was doing.

Disco Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Absolutely no cunt would’ve known who Robert was bar a brief mention in World Soccer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I was at their first game. The Rob Lee Testimonial. We lost to Bilbao. I was not that impressed with either of them, though Robert did look keen. Thought we'd finish 11th for the third year in a row, but then everything just clicked. Let's hope for a repeat.

Dennis will need managing as he can be moody, but we've got the type of manager and atmosphere that will be really good for him. In defence of Watford it was his country’s fault for not submitting the paperwork in time iirc. So Watford stuck to the rules. Totally understandable in the position they were in.

nemtizz Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Cornet clearly improves us but I pray the 'delay' in signing forwards is that we're looking at options above him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’ve brought in the spark yet which is going to set the whole thing off. Like Bellamy could finish obviously but he was just electric with pace and generally made intelligent runs behind. Very few defenders got the better of him when it came to that he was also a massive arsehole so he had players wound up all the time. Actually loved having him at the club and he shouldn’t have been sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I still confident that we will complete a big name signing before the window ends. We won’t get 100m pounds loan facilities just for running daily business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakzz Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Would take both maddison and barnes. Either one would improve us alot. But maddison is more like Paqueta and would pick Paqueta over Maddison. Will prolly come cheaper to. Edited July 30, 2022 by snakzz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Maddison would improve us immeasurably. I can’t see Leicester selling mind. I can’t see him going for it either given he’s been on the verge of a Champions League move for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If true, the fact that he’s allegedly keen and only has two years on his contract definitely works in our favour. Doesn’t sign a new contract and they get substantially less than £40m next year or nothing in two years. And sounds like that isn’t really a viable option for them in their current financial situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next summer we have loads of dross out of contract and it frees up huge amounts of cash. It’s a short term issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Magpie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Get that loan put to good use! Defo be a marquee signing for us and he'd take us forward. Wonder if we would still get a winger, if yes we would be very dangerous next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
