A Summer Of Missed Opportunities?

[NS Herald]

Well that's it then. No sign of new signings to satisfy the reasonable demands of NSC'rs - what does the board think it's up to?

The club really must do better to satisfy the demands of our fickle fans and spends loads of dosh (that we don't have) to put us where belong and without further delay

this same scenario happens every season people get pissed of because we don't sign anyone in june, most players are on holiday now and the real business will start in a few week, if we do any business is another thing however.

I am not so much moaning about the lack of signings, more about the missed chance for real changes to the squad which proved it was not good enough last season.

Getting rid of the deadwood and bringing in some new players was what was needed and it has not happened.

We may well sign a couple of half decent players but we still have a lot of rubbish in our squad and we missed the chance to get rid of it.

deadwood = cheap !!

deadwood = cheap !!

deadwood + cheap = relegation

Very harsh on some of the senior players. I'm not Guy Butters biggest fan, but he put in a good season when the much-touted Joel Lynch started f***ing up regularly early on.

Similarly, Hart and Mayo both played a lot of games and I'm sure they helped some of the kids progress.

If there had been a cull of what experienced players we have the club would have been somewhat rudderless. I'll be disappointed if we don't get Andy Whing, but I've got faith in Wilkins that he'll bring in some fresh faces.

It's much too early to bring on the doom and gloom. In a month's time we could be riding the wave of a Falmer YES decision and the future might start to look very different.

I hope you are right

Looks like not much chance of Constantine coming and Whing looks increasingly more likely to head off to Walsall.

Bertin touch and go whether he will sign.

Where is this hot tip about Whing not signing?

Bertin was ALWAYS touch and go. In fact, the fact he has not gone yet is a vast improvement on my hopes of him staying.

Is whing married?

I think if he is there maybe more chance of him staying in the midlands.

Well, that's a consideration. But if that was the case, he would never be considering moving here. And the point is, he does want to come here, unless something drastic has changed.

If he does really want to come why hasnt he signed?

waiting for more money? playing the clubs off against each other?

I hate agents

As I said on the other thread, which got a snotty reply from Richie Morris, he has only just come back from holiday. In fact, he may even still be away.

More to the point - where's the 'Summer' of missed opportunities - it's not even summer yet?

I did not see that. But yes that may have something to do with it.

I wonder if he stayed at Uncle Dicks?

Dunno. Uncle Dick is currently in Portugal at the Football League meeting thing.

I know one or two signings have been made by a few clubs, but that's usual, and we haven't missed out on anyone that we have been known to be after. It's only June 7th today, I wouldn't mind betting 75% of footballers/managers/directors are on holiday at this time - and rightly so, this is the middle of a one month period in the whole year where NOTHING happens. Contracts expire on 30th June (about the same time as pre-season training starts), and I would expect the vast majority of out-of-contract players to leave it until the last week or two before that to decide where they are going to sign. So, if people like Whing are going to sign for us, I really wouldn't expect him to do it for at least another 10 days to two weeks anyway.

your speaking alot of sense there, as usual

(oh how i love kissing your arse)

 

[Clive Walker's slaphead]

Apparently Kuffour is talking to Bournemouth - so it looks like we missed out on him which is a shame as could do a decent job for us.

Thread title should be a Summer Full of Whinging?
