smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Foreign loans which Humpty mentioned earlier doesn't fill me with much confidence. Just stinks of pure desperation. We spent 7 years in the championship and this is what is has come to. It just seems like we're planning for life in the championship again. We simply had to sign proven quality signings this window, we've failed this big style. Rubbish. Remember a short while ago when you were on here banging on about bedwetters... It seems so long ago now :cool: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lty9yikbns1r4zr2vo1_500.gif Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'd love for us to raid the Bundesliga a bit more. Same. We were told by Gill in a gazette interview that the club saw the Bundesliga as the closest league in terms of physicality to the premier league, so why haven't we looked there at all? Because it's all a lie. We've been told we have links with all these European clubs and we have an impressive database of players yet we never see it in practice. Guzan, Gestede, Barragan, De Pena, Espinosa...what was the strategy behind these transfers. Everyone seems to be blaming Orta but what about Gary Gill and Neil Bausor? They are in charge of getting the deals done, not Orta, this is where we have *** up window after window. We have been shockingly embarrassing for a number of windows now. Rubbish. In the Summer we managed Negredo, Traore, Valdes, Chambers, Gaston on a permanent (despite all the hurdles they had to negotiate there) This time last year we signed Gaston, De Laet and Rhodes. In the summer before that we signed Downing, Nugent and Stuani The January before that we signed Forshaw. Hardly embarrassing, all of those players had major roles to play or are playing a major role right now, please don't go back to KM of old. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Changing Times Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 No, I'm not saying that. My argument was against KM saying that they players we've signed have had no strategy behind them, which they clearly do. Ah fair play mate. I think more than de Pena puzzle me for all sorts of reasons. I would say our transfer activity has been disjointed at times. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I think it's all been pretty logical. Risky, but logical. Pretty much every signing we've made since being promoted has carried a fair element of risk, but that's mostly due to the fact that "sure things" cost a fortune. Disjointed is probably a fair way to put it. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Mods can you sort out some new smilies please. We need at least one with the little face bawling it's eyes out for situations like these. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm actually curious if we go the "stand pat and hope to god we pull through" or the "panic buy and sign multiple crap players for too much" route tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I doubt we'll panic buy as such. If there's someone available on our lists that we can get done then we'll do it. Link to post Share on other sites
2plus2 290 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm still looking forward to tomorrow's deadline day. You just never know what might happen. Bit weird to have a match on the same night however. Link to post Share on other sites
ballyclover 210 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Not sure if its been mentioned but on FB they are saying rumours of a major signing due Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I don't think we'll panic buy, at least by my definition of panic buy. I think we'll probably ring the clubs of every player on our lists to let them know that we are serious and looking for players and willing to pay good money. Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just tweeted VB and he said the player they thought was signing hasn't... I'm guessing Jesé and he isn't confident of additions tomorrow but if we do expect the unexpected Link to post Share on other sites
