And they will ALL do very very well Im sure. However Buckley and Bridders I have no time for because of the way they "agitated" for moves when Poyet was courting them. Barnes sadly was the victim of club incompetence/moneyball approach and if we gave him the extra £500 quid a week and 2 years...

Jordan Rhodes from Blackburn. But it means SPENDING MONEY and not some **** who was top scorer in L2. But a PROVEN bona fide champ striker which we are DESPERATE for.

Is the right answer. If the ambition which clearly was sell family silver and buy half baked replacements then fine. SAY NOTHING not all this one club one ambition nonsense...

The moneyball approach just aint working. Its that simple.

Excellent post.

Im going to let CH decide. Personally I see no reason why Holla cant be a squad player. But I would say Holla this is Beram you need to watch him. This is what we are looking for. Can you do it? If no then you can go.

Sadly Alan would debate till he is blue in the face this isnt the case ;)

Quality on his day. But he is young so will have good and bad games. Anyway I expect big things in the next few days. The weather will be better and he is Brooker esque.

Cant disagree with any of this. Plus Stephens is still working his way back.

I think they are planning A and B scenario. Sadly we dont know which divison we will be in yet.

Nope im talking BIG. Like 5million + big Not 2million for L1 top scorers.

The moneyball spreadsheet had a problem in the formula. It showed on paper it could work. As the saying goes the game isnt played on paper.

Yep undoubtedly so. Trouble is we may be looking at not spending a fee. So wages no problem but £££ is.

We made it difficult for ourselves as we wouldnt pay the fee (250k ish) tbat was the start of the warning signs that all is not well with our recruitment. The guy was ready to sign. WE (as in BHA) ****ed it up MASSIVELY.

What a load of ****ing shit. Beram and Stockdale aside I would make them all turn up for training tomorow at 5am even after the coach breaking down. Useless shitbags.

Squad rotation...

They ballsed up in the summer. First warning sign was willy waving over the fee to wolves for ward. Then with a week to go it looked like casper would be no1 and Fenelon and CMS our first choice strikers. Even with Jose or Fergie in charge you could see the cracks were there. Compounded by...

100% no question. In fact anyone who says otherwise needs shooting.

Christ lets get this season out the way. No judgement can be made with the shit he has had to work with. Dunk and Beram excepted. Seriously.

Here we go. Yes he spent 200m and yes we are grateful etc etc blah blah. Fact is if he wants promotion we need GOALS and players that score goals are expensive. No more L1 top scorers or luck gambles like Ulloa but BALLS OUT strikers cost lots of loot. You either pay it or you dont but dont...
