Incoming? George Moncur

[Barney]

Just seen posh have agreed a fee and apparently terms with Moncur! Guess that means they're splashing the money from the sale of Washington in January. Dingles also have agreed a fee with Colchester. Hope he joins the Dingles. It's all very quiet right now at the Lane just desperate for a signing!

If he signs for Posh, they're already two steps ahead of us with him and Tafazolli.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

What if, and this is pretty out there, so brace yourself, Wilder wasn't interested in signing him?

How so? We've already signed a winger that was in the team of the year, and a creative left back that created 9 goals last season.

Plus we finished above Peterborough last year.

I will answer that one, because it fits Barneys stupid, boring agenda....... Do I win a prize? Will go something like this....

The 2 signings we have made are not good enough because errrr, and then yeah, and errrr their age and errrr we need the best players from this division, what do you mean he was in the team of the year? errrrrrr yeah hes not young enough. Shambles of a club.

How boring is the age thing becoming with some people?

Im sure some would rather sign a shit 21 year old than a good 29 year old.

Yes age is a consideration, but shouldnt be a main factor.

"Sorry Billy lad, your too old to be our top scorer now, on you way"

In terms of this pre seasons recruitment. I know everything Wilder does at the moment isn't allowed to be questioned, but let's please not pretend Duffy and Hussey are in some way equal to Tafazolli and Moncur, because they clearly aren't.

Not that it proves the point, but if you'd have asked pretty much anyone in the fanbase which pair they'd have preferred, it would have been the latter. Two steps behind one opponent already and it's only mid June.

Posh look to be recruiting like Wigan did last season.

Stop being silly, one of the two played in League 2 last season & the other was in a team that were relegated last year.

I know you're bored, but stop saying stupid things.

Given that you've obviously seen plenty of Tafazolli, would you be prepared to spend the reported £8k a week on him?

You cant really question a manager for not wanting a player, where do you stop? Is the rule that any player Barney wants, but SUFC don't go for = criticism?

No it's a rule involving a team so obviously recruiting better than we are so far.

 

[S5Blade]

What do you actually know about tafazolli (or Moncur for that matter?) How many minutes have you seen them play that warrants wanking over them and using it as a stick to beat the club with that one of our "rivals" have signed them?

You constantly bang the drum that we should be signing the best players from this league and below so we literally sign 2 of the best players from this divison and its not good enough as one of them isnt a centre back called Tafazolli? Despite our manager clearly stating that he will be signing 2 centre backs. You talk such utter utter shit its unreal.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Duffy and Moncur, both attacking midfielders, 1 for a promoted team, the other for a relegated team. 1 made the league team of the year, the other didnt.

You'd have preferred Duffy and Hussey over Tafazolli and Moncur then?

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

How good is Tafazolli then? How many games last season did you see him in?

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

No it's a rule involving a team so obviously recruiting better than we are so far.

And you failed to say whether 8k a week was a good deal for SUFC.

 

[Barney]

How good is Tafazolli then? How many games last season did you see him in?

Works both ways y'know.

How many did you see the 4 players concerned in?

 

[Barney]

And you failed to say whether 8k a week was a good deal for SUFC.

8k a week was a figure being quoted from know nowt ITK's like Magic bloody Mike ffs.

He also said it was Mansfield of all clubs that offered 8k a week.

Don't believe everything you read dear.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Works both ways y'know.

How many did you see the 4 players concerned in?

I didn't, but Ive stated the facts that are availble to us both. And Im happy with the signings.

Duffy, team of the year, Hussey, most assists for a defender in league one.

Moncur and Tafazolli?

 

[S5Blade]

You'd have preferred Duffy and Hussey over Tafazolli and Moncur then?

I have never seen tafazolli play live, nor moncur. I have seen duffy and hussey play, I doubt you have seen any of them.

Its not my job to decide who we sign and who we dont. When we sign someone, I will look around for reviews, comments on them etc etc not get a whole skip full of sand in my vagina about players we have not signed.

You havent got a single clue as to whether we even interested in either of Tafa or Moncur despite twitter and forum ramblings but we are "left behind" because we havent signed them. Just any excuse for you to ram up your boring agenda.

I am happy with the signings we have made and will judge our business at the start of the season, then again at the end of the transfer window, not on the 14th of June, 7 weeks before the season starts.

Wow. Irony at its absolute finest.

I think Sunjihi has a fairly decent record, and you seem think he's called Scott, so perhaps you believe his 'rumours' too.

 

[Gin&Juice]

You'd have preferred Duffy and Hussey over Tafazolli and Moncur would you?

I don't really care

And why do you believe we were ever interested in Tafazolli anyway?

 

[Barney]

I didn't, but Ive stated the facts that are availble to us both. And Im happy with the signings.

Duffy, team of the year, Hussey, most assists for a defender in league one.

Moncur and Tafazolli?

Oh brilliant!

So you start with the "how many time you seen them" line after I state that I think their signings are of a better standard than ours are, and you haven't even watched any of them yourself either.

The facts available is what most people go on when judging different clubs recruitment, and, to me they say that Tafazolli and Moncur are better signings than Duffy and Hussey. The vast majority would have said the same beforehand.

But if you want to carry on deluding yourself otherwise that's up to you.

 

[Barney]

And why do you believe we were ever interested in Tafazolli anyway?

Don't believe I ever fully believed we were, no that that has anything to do with the point.

You're deflecting...

 

[Barney]

I don't really care

Very convenient.

 

[Bartyblade]

Hands up everyone who expected Jamie Vardy to be playing for England while he was at Halifax, or Harry Kane when he was on loan at Orient?

This is priceless.

What facts is you view based on then?! You cant name any!

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Deflecting from what?

Its you who cant answer simple questions.

- What facts support your view that Moncur/Tafazolli are better than Duffy/Hussy?
- Would you have spent 8k a week on Tafazolli?
- What made you (partially!) believe we were in for Tafazolli?

 

[Fraggle Blade]

So Tafazolli is the new messiah because we didn't sign him?
I've not seen him live, just a few youtube clips, so I can't comment on really how good he might or might not have been for us, but i suspect he's probably not going to be the stand out centre half in our division, only time will tell.
I've seen Moncur play and watched him on tv, he looked a tidy player at this level, but wasn't a box to box player, so maybe was never a consideration for Wilder, who knows.
I'll wait to see who we do end up signing and how they perform before I praise or criticise Wilder for his signings.
