It may not reflect well in your opinion but the point stands. Why should Bloom continue to throw his money at the club when people like you are so ungrateful? On an alternative note, would you be willing to pay another £100 or £200 for a season ticket (or another £4 to £8 per match) to cover the...

Nobody is saying otherwise. But, as I said in response to another post, these things do take time. The problem last year wasn't so much that we took a while to bring in the players, that wasn't ideal, but that we had a poor manager and signed the wrong players. After a very poor first two games...

I think your point was pretty clear (some cynical suggestion we weren't going to make any more signings). I just pointed out how pointless it was.

I take it your going to pay that money then. We have made it more difficult with what happened last year but Bloom's made it clear we're not going to be held to ransom. I find it hard to believe that any of our fans would want that, given our history. The big problem on here is that people moan...

Read the whole thread. There are people moaning on it about the Lewes game and my post was in response to a post suggesting that it would probably be our first team at the start of the season.

To be fair, it's not that optimistic. I'm saying that I think our current squad is better than the one who got 2 points and 1 goal from our last seven games. Hardly the most optimistic post ever.

Did you actually read my post? I didn't say we shouldn't be trying to do that. But why are these players going to sign for us early on? We struggled last year. There seems to be this thought process on here that quality players are queuing outside the Amex to sign for us but we're turning them...

I don't agree that we're weaker than the end of last season. Baldock's return from injury more than makes up for losing CMS and Best, even ignoring the signing of Hemed. I'm hopeful of Rosenior and Bong offering a better option at left back than Bennett. March is back too. We've lost Texeira and...

Absolutely, friendlies are generally irrelevant. I seem to remember Newcastle losing 6-1 at Leyton Orient and getting promoted from this league that year (with Hughton in charge). Friendlies where a team plays almost a reserve team are even more irrelevant.

Where has anybody said they have (although they may all help to push us up there along with more signings). No club is going to sign one player that is going to make that difference, although if Hemed became a 20 goal striker (or provided the support for Baldock to do that), he'd definitely make...

It's this kind of drivel that annoys me about NSC. Rosenior was a key player for Hull and their fans seem genuinely annoyed that they released him. Maenppa was offered an extension and had other clubs after him but chose us. Bong only signed a short term contract for Wigan so was always likely...

Seriously, I think some people on here are deluded. Most teams don't complete their business until the season is well under way so why should a team who were lucky to stay up last season and want to bring in better players than that be any different? There aren't many teams who've signed more...

Except we already have Stockdale, Bruno, Greer, Dunk, Bong, Stephens, Crofts, Kayal, LuaLua, Baldock and Hemed who didn't feature without any new signings.

I really hate the phrase selling club. All clubs are selling clubs if the price is right. Man U sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Are they a selling club as you put it? I do agree about it not being a bad idea if we reinvest well (although I still think it's made up on Twitter as Fulham could get a...

I agree with this. Was the sort of price I would have taken (especially if it has a high sell on in case he does make it big). But, I could imagine the reaction on here wouldn't be great!

Completely agree with this. There's a lot of fuss about last season proving that we must act early to have a chance of being up there. However, last year we had an awful manager in charge for the first half of the season and the signings didn't work out as a result. If we sign the right players...

I think people forget we had two superb seasons at this level (where we got to the play offs) and another first year up when we were in touch with the play offs until the last six games. It is easy to write the club off after one poor season but, at the moment, that's all it is. A second season...

Given the constant moaning on this thread, it would be interesting to see the reaction if the rumours of us agreeing a fee with Fulham for Dunk are true (apparently £4.5 million according to Twitter/someone on their forum). Probably complete rubbish but this board (and especially this thread)...

On the last bit, I completely agree with you. We chased Baldock all summer last year and then played him out of position for most of the season. Very odd. I do think Hughton may well try 4-4-2 with two of Baldock, Hemed and another new striker with the other being on the bench and O'Grady as...

I imagine with signing him and others they're linked with, there's a very good chance of Middlesbrough going up. If that happens, he only has one season of that and then back to Anfield and Old Trafford. However, it does mean he's very unlikely to go to the Euros, when a good season in the...
