What a joke some of our supporters are. Who's saying O'Grady is the direct replacement for Ulloa? He's probably back up striker (and a pretty decent signing based on last season) but don't let that get in the way of moaning.

What is the point of this post? Are you trying to insinuate something about Tony Bloom? I think Palace fans should be banned for posts like this. It's pathetic.

Already replied to your other post. Same again here. Moan moan moan. Always the same people who moan whatever the club do. If he turns out to be the Ulloa replacement (which I doubt), then there might be cause but, as I've asked to others, what would you expect as back up striker in the...

Boring. So boring. Moan moan moan Also, whatever your Barnsley mate might say, others clearly don't agree. And 15 goals in a relegated Championship side speak for themselves.

They get abused for incessant moaning, not for having a different view. It's the difference between "I think we might have made a mistake" and "the club are a joke".

Thanks for this. Ignore a lot of what people say on here. Some would moan even if we signed Messi or Ronaldo. Out of interest, why are you not convinced he'll agree terms? Is it down to money or location (as I saw somewhere he was interested in staying in the north)?

Or we've sold our top scorer and replaced him with a player who scored 1 more goal in a relegated team last season and got a significant profit. Doesn't say it all but an alternative way of saying it.

Seriously? How do players score 15 goals in a relegated side if they're absolutely terrible? Some of the reactions on here are absolutely terrible.

Absolutely. Lots of people moan about signing players without Championship striker. Yet when we're linked with a striker who scored 15 goals in a relegated team last year the reaction is a joke. What do people actually want? Ronaldo and Messi? Or would they not have enough Championship experience?

Some players develop later than that. Surely last season is the best example. Assuming he's not the Ulloa replacement, which I highly doubt, what more do you want from a 2nd/3rd choice striker. He's scored more goals at this level than CMS had when we signed him.

Absolutely. My first reaction was not great. But, looking at his record for Barnsley, he could be a good addition to the squad. If Ulloa goes, I assume we will buy another striker to compete with him and CMS. For all those who will have a go, he scored more goals than any of our players last...

Agreed. I don't think Hughes is that sort of player. From what I've seen he's always one to give 100%. However, I did wonder about Bridge's motivation when he signed and was clearly wrong about that. Can't think of many more committed loan players.

Good point about Ward. All the Wolves fans slagged him off when he came here and his pedigree is a lot less than Hughes (although admittedly he is a few years younger).

To those questioning the signing, who were you expecting. He's played in the Premier League pretty much all his career (considerably more Premier League games than Upson and at comparable clubs). You don't get 450 Premier League matches by being a poor player. He's a decent signing. He's not...

You've got to love NSC. People moan about no signings. We then make a signing who has played in the Premier League pretty much all his career and has made considerably more Premier League appearances than Upson (our player of the year last year and who everyone was gutted had left). Yet, someone...

Not really. We were poor in January and didn't have a great summer transfer window last year. Still worth seeing what we do rather than spending the summer moaning (or whatever you call it). For all you know we may be on the verge of 3 or 4 signings. None of us know what's going on so why not...

But until we see who we do get, you can't judge. Good players won't immediately sign for you unless you offer huge wages, which we won't obviously. Knowing the budget is one thing but translating that to immediate signings is another thing. I'm not saying that Burke is perfect, more that you...

This is a really odd view. Leicester think he is worth £6 million, we think he's worth more yet you say he's worth far less than £7.5 million. I think I know who I would believe. You only have to look at his scoring record for us to see you're talking rubbish.

It could just be that he's injured, as the club have said, but the timing is suspicious. I suppose we'll learn more during the week. Will be interesting to see if he plays against Real Betis!

That's pretty deluded. As others have said, the clubs with parachute payments are the easiest 'sell' outside the Premier League. They have the most money, it's simple. Also, how do you know our recruitment machine is failing? They presumably have a budget to work with and are working hard to...
