The more you think about the more you realise just what a mess we are in. We are nailed on as it stands for relegation. Must be getting to the stage we each of our players can have his own changing room in our spanking new training facility.
With you totally on this. To make things a little worse 3 of the 16 are coming back from long term injuries, how ready they will be we can only speculate particularly in the case of Crofts.
Whatever side of the agreement you are on, can we not agree that we need a minimum of 6 decent signings to enable us to compete in this league and with pre season being two weeks away I would suggest that 3/4 need to be in place before then with the rest bar the odd one before the season starts...
Agree we need to move on, but I hope this is not a couple of weeks wasted and we are now starting from zero again as regards the next target. We need to see progress soon as regards incoming I would suggest before the unhappy minority of the fans base grows. Lets be honest as it stands right now...
With you totally on that. Last seasons poor performance following on from a couple of very poor transfer windows has left a very negative feel around the club and has certainly lost any forward momentum. I guess I expected the club to act quickly and decisively to lift this feeling, so like you...
Just to add, why would Ward want to move. Surely he is on more money at Burnley and are they not more likely to be successful this coming season than us?
Another one who finds it incredible that we appeared to delay and delay to force a better deal last year only to possibly end up paying more for the player this. Pretty poor all round I'd say.
Was hoping for 2 or 3 in this week with the rumours last week but looking unlikely now. I use to be fairly relaxed about these things but the realisation of just how poor our squad is and how bad last years recruitment was have me concerned. Is it just me or do others fear a repeat of last years...
Not looking likely for today now. I guess the real question is what comes first. A new signing or the Barber email. You know the one...Working hard...FFP, Parachute payments..FFP, judge us at the end of the window..FFP, loan window..FFP and so on.
So no news then. Strange one this. Being honest I know nothing about this guy having never seen him play but will be disappointed when/if this doesn't happen.
Any away game would be good since I am away on holiday for the start of the season. However, I am not sure it matters since for the last two seasons we haven't been ready for the first couple of games.
Whilst I am pretty keen for some news, am I the only one who is going to be disappointed if it is the Finnish goalkeeper. That is the one area of the team we are sorted in. We need forwards as we all know.
whilst I am not going to deny that my heart would love Bobby to return, my head tells me that it will only work if he is the hold up and link man for a fast dynamic forward line, such as Baldock, the Iranian lad and other new signings. In that type of role there wont be to many better available...
I guess the last three windows and performance last year has left my Albion mojo pretty low at the moment. We have already had the 'its difficult...FFP, Working hard...FFP' statement from the manager, all that remains is Barbers input and there is always the loan window and judge at the end of...
I guess I am what is know as the floating voter, voting on each election based on who I think can the best job at the time. For those committed either way explain why I should vote for either main party when both will need to be propped up by others with whom I have no connection and whose...
I am a little surprised about the negativity that appears to be going CH way in this and other threads. Lets be honest when Hyypia left the vast majority on here would haved been happy just to avoid relegation and this is what CH has set out to do. It may not be pretty but frankly it is about...
Still don't see what JFC contributes to the team, seems to lightweight and conservative with his passing. Agree with the OP the current midfield is not good enough to compete in this league.
Never bothered with these threads before, but now off the fence. Notwithstanding the poor recruitment which needs to be reviewed the squad is not a relegation squad and Hyypia is not getting a response from the players. He makes strange choices and sticks with players who are clearly struggling...
