They're getting him on loan instead as far as I understand

As he likes red and white stripes maybe we could beat them to it

Haaa haaa haa, your kidding aren't you. CAC won't spend any money he doesn't have to. I'm guessing we will see a couple of minor additions (as is the way these days) although there will be the smokescreen of Halmosi, Vaughan etc until the window traps our fingers again without us actually investing a bean in reality.

A couple of injuries and our season will be off the tracks and everyone will be nicely off the hook. Speedo will perhaps chuck his hat into the ring for the welsh job and pray to God he gets the hell out of the ship before water starts pooling around his feet.

I'm confused now. Cheap as chips used to be Blackwell. 'Sunshine Band' Fuhrer thinks Gary Speed is Cheap as Chips 2, and you're presumedly referring to McCabe.

People, can we have some standardisation of who nicknames refer to?

 

[Bladesway]

Mine was an acronym rather than a nickname though. You got the person right so thats all that matters I suppose. The point that we will spend squat all still stands though.

I wouldn't want to spend my money when I didn't need to, would you?
Why waste money when he may not be the kind of player Speed wants?

Agreed, I wouldn't waste my money at all. However, we haven't "wasted" any money for some time. Some would say thats why less than 20k turn up now and we have been playing football in the clouds.

You have to say with our squad why would you want to spend any money? It's quite obviously packed with quality and doesn't need strengthening. It hasn't needed any money spending on it since £3m (or £1.5m when it suits) arrived start of 09/10 season as I see it.

Now to stop being sarcastic for a minute. Do you really not think we need to spend a bit of cash to make sure we push ourselves up the table or are you happy with what we have? If you are you can forget the play offs, in fact you might as well be looking down the table rather than up it.

Not after the way he performed against the might of Andorra last night!
