toontownman Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 So let me get this straight... we knew "all about him and his playing record", were in deep negotiations with his club to bring him here with a view to a loan. Now he isnt coming because we actually didnt know anything about him at all? The mind boggles. to be fair, im sure fat fred had never heard of him.

Guest Gemmill Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I think this is all one setup. Roeder doesn't intend to have new players playing at home against Villa on their debut as Gemmill (who was at the match) will criticise these players, and anyone's argument otherwise is invalid as Gemmill was at the match. Such posts on a forum would demoralise these players. Instead, Roeder intends to blood them away at Fulham when Taylor27 is at the match, and as Taylor27 is more likely to post nice stuff on a players debut, it will be a permanent morale boost for the player, especially as Gemmill isn't able to comment as he isn't at the match. Doesn't look like this one is gonna get a laugh. :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Whilst being cautious is fair, we are so desperate for players that the cautious appraoch is not viable. What if something happens to Taylor another youngster to come in Nicky Butt at centre half? Surely having a 30+ year old as a stop gap for now would be better. In an ideal world we would only sign players for the long term but given our situation we need players now, even if it is only for the short term good. Can anybody tell me that we would actually be worse off if we had signed the likes of Campbell in the summer. We cannot base our long term strategy around guys like this but it buys us time. I think Roeder is being a bit naive in ignoring the vetran players, especially considering the efforts Sibs and Butt (like a new signing) have offered this season.

Guest teepee Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 just imagine if we had moved for woody and sol c. - i suspect that both have played more matches this season than any of our defenders.... and i just see a 30 year old defender as and advantage - we need experience at the back!

Cajun Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 tbh I have given up hope of signing anyone, seems like Glenn is still getting info on players which should have been done before the f*cking transfer window opened and now if we manage to get anyone it will be a last minute panic buy who will be very average and really not good enough but because we expected the absolute worst they will seem better than they are! (ala Sibierski). Why can't we plan these things? honestly!!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 IMHO I hope we don't sign anyone in this transfer window lets be honest there is nobody available who is better than what we have who will come for a decent fee. Safe the money for the summer and splash out on someone really special for the defence. I would say there are at least a few players who have already moved who are better than what we have. Montella on loan to Fulham for one is surely better than Sibierski? Totally different types of players, what an idiotic statement that was by you Mr. Jonathon Lockwood.

indi Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Time to face-up to the - I won't say: fact - strong possibility that we are skint and therefore are not going to sign, or even seriously attempt to sign anyone in this window. It's exactly the same situation as the summer, we were skint then and we're skint now - unless one of you lot has donated the club a few million on the sly? In the summer we couldn't afford to bring in anyone for a large fee, other than Martins, who they probably felt they had to buy, given Owen's injury, in my opinion if Owen hadn't have been injured they wouldn't have spent any money at all. The years of spending stupid money on trophy players and none on players we actually need, has finally bitten us in the arse, big-style. Fred's reckless policies, based more around his own sense of self importance than the best interests of NUFC have lead us here. He's seen off a couple of genuine attempts to take over the club and now he's deluding himself that he could buy it himself. With who's fucking money, eh Fred? Yours? You don't have any!! The club's? The club doesn't have any!! Largely thanks to you I might add. I used to want Fred out because I thought we could do better, now I want him out because I genuinely fear for the future of the club. It's a sad sad situation we find ourselves in. We won't sign anyone, all this club-fed paper talk is "the mother of all smokescreens" to try and keep the supporters quiet until the end of the window, when they expect us to swallow a "Well we tried to sign a whole load of players, but there weren't any of the required quality, available at a sensible price. Now it's time for everyone with the interests of NUFC at heart to get behind glen and the boys for the rest of the season." bullshit statement.

Dan Gleebals Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Fat Fred fucked this up, not glenda. Just look at the damage souness did and you cannot blame Glenn. He does however, seriously need to shut his mouth and get on with things. If he has significant money, spend it for fuck sake. If not, shut up. You cannot say players are unavailable 3 weeks into the window when you have had 4 months to speak to clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
