Some of you lot would do well to remember we are, as of last season, a third division team playing in a crap ground, in a league with bigger and richer clubs, therefore the sort of players you're talking about might not actually be that keen to join us, at least not for this season.
I cannot grasp why people are criticising the club for "failing" to sign the likes of Jason Roberts or Adam Le Fondre, when they quite probably have made enquiries but been turned down by the player because they have far better offers.
If you idiots want to see us end up like Pompey because we've chucked money we don't have at players we can't afford, then be my guest. Personally I'd rather we attempted to get this club built on solid foundations, and if it means we take a little longer to get to where we all want to be, well so be it. I'd rather have a sustained period of success starting from say two years time than go roaring up the league now and then have it all fall apart around us because of unsustainable debts and creditors attempting to wind the club up from all directions.
A little grasp on reality is needed
Agree with much of what you say, but we have had an obvious need for a striker since Forster threw his toys out the pram... plenty of time to sort it out and we have FAILED to do so...

i agree totally, look at the squad now compared to 12 months ago
Yes, agreed in all areas we are stronger except strikers - they score goals and hence this could be a problem.

Can we make this post a sticky? Most sensible post of the day.

Oh my God. Would Gus had signed Ahley if he was shit? No. Is it shit to score 5 in 12? No. Is it shit that he holds the ball up brilliantly for a 20 year old? No. Christ. Barnes is actually a brilliant prospect, and is already a very good striker at the young age of 20.

What!? Like Holroyd? He MAY prove useful, but none of us know, do we?

Oh my god. You are the most irritating poster. Who did you want us to sign? We can still get players in on loan. What do you think Gus has been doing all day? Sitting on his hands?

THIS ISN'T FOOTBALL MANAGER. "Let's get in Seyfo Soley, he's a holding midfielder available on a free. And what about Michael Mifsud, he got 34 in 31 for me in his first season." Jesus christ. WE HAVE A BUDGET WE HAVE TO STICK TO. NOT ALL PLAYERS WANT TO COME TO THE WITHDEAN. THERE IS TIME YET TO GET IN A LOAN PLAYER.
What is unclear?

Whilst my heart would love the additional players, the head reads this and nods head with agreement.
Yes....this.

What?
Until you learn basic English, and the ability to not repeat yourself and labour the point so far that everyone wants to stab you, you should just f*** off.

Eurrggh, Holroyd was 5 years older than Torby when we signed him. What do you want from the club? To buy the best name out there? On our budget, that is asking too much and you are only going to get disappointed.

Bloom does not like large phone bills so we were only allowed to make two calls.
Poyet also had a lie in after his dance class the previous night ran into the early hours.

I would love to see what some of you do when you decide you need to move house.
You see a beautiful mansion in an estate agent's window: six bedrooms, stunning architectural features, tennis courts, brand new kitchen, pool, views of the Downs and the sea, no neighbours and its own helipad and secret underground bunker. Offers in the region of £1.8 million, and there are already three interested parties willing to pay the asking price, one a cash buyer.
Your budget is £250,000.
Do you think you'll get that house? Do you expect your bank manager to loan you the outstanding £1,550,000 based on your salary of £30k? Do you sulk massively and tell him he is a twat who lacks vision and ambition when he won't lend it to you?
Judging by a few posts on here, I'm rather guessing that a few of you would.
