Yes but you're one of the ones shouting your mouth off all the time so you would see it that way. Do you really think that this needs so many threads on the same subject? Seriously?

I completely agree. We probably will poach players but we had to do it to protect our youth investment. The rules are a joke, as always designed by the Premier League to support bigger clubs. It's a sad state of affairs but more and more the way things are going. You have to give credit to Tony...

Yawn. Another pointless thread. Why do people continually feel the need to start new threads rather than just contributing to the old ones? Nobody has anything new to say. Burke's apparently rubbish, we're going to struggle this season, hurry up blah blah blah. Pretty much what each thread has said.

Is that some sort of pathetic dig at us? If so, you're on pretty dodgy ground given what your team have done in the past. Remember, we came through the Withdean years without ever going into administration. Can you say the same thing about the last 20 years?

I agree. When the system was announced, I thought it was an absolute disgrace. However, all that Tony Bloom and the club can do is play within the rules. I'm looking at it as a way of keeping our best young players (or at least getting a fairer deal for them if sold) rather than raiding other...

Fair enough. It's sad to see so many people on here seemingly having lost faith in the club. I remain confident that we'll sign some decent players in the next couple of weeks and have a good team at the start of the season. If you look at our first team now, it's not as bad as people are...

Are you serious? Have you forgotten how awful we were in the few years leading up to Poyet's arrival? We struggled to sign anyone, whereas we are now holding out for the right deal.

I really don't think Tony Bloom bought the Albion for the kudos of owning a football club. He would undoubtedly get some money back if we go up but he won't get a huge amount. To say he will be quids in ever is somewhat simplistic and it's definitely not a business investment. I don't...

No, you're definitely wrong. Blue and white tinted spectacles etc etc. You can't say anything that is in any way positive. Although, you are completely right. It's a completely pointless story from an interview after a pre season friendly. It says nothing much but has now resulted in 12 pages...

It's all very well for fans to say this sort of thing but the reality is why should Bloom spend any more of his money on the club. Especially when all the fans do is moan all the time. To be honest, if I was TB and I read NSC, I would wonder why I bothered. So many ungrateful fans willing to...

But I don't think you have a point then. Reading have signed nobody. What relevance does that have on our squad. Crawley have signed about 14 so far but they only had about 5 contracted players at the start of pre season. Are you saying we should go out and sign 16 players, whatever the...

You really can't compare this to the Archer/Stanley days though. In fairness, although I may be wrong, I imagine many of the moaners are fans who didn't follow the Albion then. The fans who fought for the club back then realise how far we've come in a short time and how much Bloom has put into...

Well I'm really bored of people like you moaning all the time. Moaning about it constantly isn't going to make us sign any players sooner.

Obviously it was a sarcastic one. My point is nobody is actually saying that. We all know we need new signings, it's just we don't spend every minute of every day moaning about the lack of them. If we do sign players and you post that you are happy/were wrong, fair enough. I'm not certain we...

Seriously, take a look at Birmingham's signings. How many of them do you want to play for us? It may not fit with your normal economics but ask yourself who's more likely to sign for us if we offer them a contract. A player who's pretty poor at Championship level or an amazing player who could...

So you're not going to bother justifying your post then? Fair enough. I have as much right to comment on it and call it pathetic as you do to post drivel. If we do start signing players, I guarantee you won't be posting on here. You'll probably be gutted.

So boring. I'm sure we could have signed those 16. It's not difficult at that level (Adams did it for us at Withdean). Birmingham have signed 10 or 11 so far. Look at the list and tell me how many of those you would be happy with us signing. I'd imagine not many. It's simple, signing players is...

Amongst the many pathetic posts today, this is the most pathetic. Is anyone actually saying we don't need any more players? Is anyone saying anything like this pathetic post. All we're saying is to give the club a chance. Don't moan just wait and see what happens. In an ideal world we'd have...

Are people really this stupid? Does anyone think Tony Bloom doesn't have the club's best interests at heart? If they do, has it occurred to them that Bloom would find a way of getting rid of Burke if he wasn't doing his job well. If Tony Bloom is happy with the job that Burke is doing, then why...

Fair enough. It's all about opinions. I just don't get how you've seen enough of him to make a judgement. I'd be really pleased if we signed him and, judging by this thread, I'd be far from alone. We'll see what happens this week. Still don't think it's likely to happen.
