TLF10 4,496 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 This time next week we will be entering the final 90mins of transfer deadline day. Hopefully our hierarchy won't be sat in a pub.... Link to post Share on other sites

Step out of that mist of hatred and bias, open your eyes and give a balanced opinion. Pulis got the best out of Traore, yup. What are the others you've got? I can't think of anything else. He took a lot of our money being the highest paid manager in our history and undoubtedly one of the highest in the Championship at the time, took credit for selling players but spent pretty much the same amount without actually improving us. He got us to the play offs once and we defended our way through both legs, with only a single free kick of note across 180 minutes. The season after, he had us finishing 2 positions lower and claimed that achievement was bigger. That's just some of the reasons against him, let's have you balance it out. With... Traore?

Well pulis took credit for taking control of everything and that he was helping improve the club from top to bottom. Youd assume, as manager, that would include transfers. Also, Saville and flint are the all graft and physical qualities over footballing ability type players that pulis has bought for his entire career. You can't seriously think he didn't want us to sign them? Â Â 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ABH 470 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Gibson said pulis did a good job. So maybe he was just reducing our wage bill like he was asked to do.  my point is we were a badly run club long before pulis came in. People need to stop using pulis as an excuse to give Gibson and co a free ride Edited September 28, 2020 by ABH 2 Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,489 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) To be honest on paper they didnt seem too bad signings with both scoring goals for their teams. I was looking forward to seeing Flint given how well he did the season before (looking pretty decent in the cup) and being a genuine attacking threat. We somehow converted him into a defender with a 50p head and wasn't very good on the ball either. Saville we didn't need given we signed Besic and McNair. Saville for 3million wouldnt be bad business but 7ish million given where we were lacking on the pitch was a poor decision by us. Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,942 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'm worried we wont meet our daily quota of mentioning Marcus Maddison, Jordan Jones or a random ex-Boro player, so....  Marcus Maddison Jordan Jones and What is Keith O'Neill upto these days? I reckon he could still do a job for us  Phew...Close call there guys  In all seriousness, i'd imagine all of our signings from here on out will be loans, so lets hope we can bring back Roberts as one of them. Link to post Share on other sites
