All a bit quiet on the transfer front?

[Hartley Hare]

With just over a day to go are we running out of time to sign the new players we badly need?

I am not sure how it works, but presumably there is a chance in the next month to grab a few loan signings until the end of the season?

If we do not strengthen now I fear the play-offs will be beyond reach. The season is a write-off.

Don't hold your breath HH !
Not a snowballs chance in hell of signing anybody before the transfer deadline !
Have given up listening to Mr Adkins rhetoricit's all bullsh!t - but I am sure that everyone is working their socks off behind the scenes !!!

Madenning.

Do you think Adkins doesn't want to sign anyone?

What would you like him to say in his interviews that would please you?

 

[Sothall_Blade]

The point is that if we were to sign maybe Burn and a couple of others now who could go straight into the first team with a view to making them permanent deals.

That would mean we already have 8-9 of next years first team in place and give us the opportunity to really hit the ground running next season.

If not, we'll be replacing over half the first team in July/August with all the upheaval and incontinuity that involves.

 

[Trickymicky]

I would like him to say " I ordered a new fax machine off eBay and it will arrive any day ".

I would like him to say it as it is - Not what he thinks we want to hear !

He has been contradictory all season I can't see him changing to start telling us the truth !

If no one is coming in then say so, grow a pair Mr Adkins !!!

I would like him to say it as it is - Not what he thinks we want to here !

"Tell it like it is" is simply a dull cliche, what exactly would you like him to "tell it like it is" about?

What has he been contradictory about?

And I had you down as a clapper...

 

[Pollingtonblade]

"Tell it like it is" is simply a dull cliche, what exactly would you like him to "tell it like it is" about?

What has he been contradictory about?

He has regularly been saying since September "wait till Jan" why?

 

[PeteBlade]

He has regularly been saying since September "wait till Jan" why?

Because that's when the transfer window opens?

He's also regularly said we need to get rid before we bring in and that we won't do anything until right at the end of the window.

 

[zablade]

I suspect we will probbaly sign one Centre back tomorrow... And then Jim and the clappers will complain about people moaning that we haven't signed the other three or four key players we clearly need.

 

[Hartley Hare]

And I had you down as a clapper...

I might be a clapper, but then...........

 

[Fiery Blade]

Obviously you are into dull cliches -you seem to be a fan of Mr Adkins !

If you don't think he has been contradictory check back on his 'comments' throughout the season - his main contradiction is whether or not we are good enough to get promotion - he has altered his views several times since July !

 

[alcoblade]

Fiery has hated every manager we've had, practically from the off. There's nothing a manager will say this will please him.

You mean since he's had chance to properly evaluate the squad?

He's since said we aren't good enough?

Surely this would fall under the category of "telling it how it is"? And should please you deeply?

 

[Barney]

I might be a clapper, but then...........

It was a compliment you friendly man.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Ah see I thought we were going to miraculously turn into Brazil at midnight on 31st December.

Personally a good window for me will be getting rid of the wage thieves that our squad is full of how many in our squad ? It's gone up from 35 in September to 42 in January ?

He said the squad wasn't good enough before the season as well I think.

Not signing anyone = being lied to and lack of ambition

What should he say then FB?

Maybe something like. 'We are not good enough to go up with the squad we have got' (said it in July at a meet the manager do).

What about 'We need to be in touch until January'. (JTW). Hey, and we are, just about.

Or 'we have a very large squad we need to get rid of players and sign quality not quantity in the JTW'. Guess what, weve got rid of players.

Or even 'Any signings are likely to be a the very end of the JTW, I will not sign players to boost numbers, they need to make a real difference'.

We have a day to go in the JTW so we shall see, but in order to 'tell it how it is', what exactly would he say?

I agree. As does Adkins probably. Much easier said than done though.

Adkins and team, Sharp, the Beard, Hammond, Done etc = lack of ambition. Hmmm.

Istm typing nonsense in capital letters doesn't make it true, it just makes it the same nonsense only louder.

Selling our best player every season, rarely making realistic bids for players, generally bringing in cheap rubbish - and all this against a background of big crowds and substantial money from cup runs = lack of ambition.

Other teams of our size spend big to ensure they get out of this division quickly. Our Board is happy to just drift along, going nowhere.

OH YES THEY DO!!!!!

Any 'thong' Judge?

 

[Santos]

I would like him to reduce the amount of cliches he uses, this would chop 7 minutes off the total of the interview and we'd lose nothing in terms of content.
