I've no idea how good Maenpaa is and in a lot of ways I would prefer us to sign a keeper like Westwood who is experienced in England. However, it will show that Hyypia wants to get involved in transfers and the club are giving him input. We also have to trust Hyypia's judgement and, if he thinks...

Brilliant. So because people (including me) are saying that we shouldn't slag the club off before we see who they sign pre season, we are all pricks. Great. With "supporters" like you the club will be fine, I'm sure. I don't really care what people think of me on NSC. If we've haven't...

Or they've just taken a little bit longer than expected and will sign early next week. I don't get all this harking back to the past. Poyet spent a lot of money and was allowed to sign some big names. He had three big summer transfer windows where he brought in lots of good players and then...

Thanks. Confusing that's he called by one name on the Albion website and another everywhere else.

In a summer where we already need quite a few new players, I don't think we should be looking to sell Ulloa, unless he is unhappy and demands a transfer.

Does anyone know who Fenelon is (sorry if it's been mentioned on here already). Also, the teamsheets people put on Twitter had Goodwin as a sub instead of him so not sure what happened.

No, he's talking in an ideal world. If we sign them next week, how much difference do you seriously think it will make. My issue is the club can't win. What do you want them to do/say? They say nothing, people on here moan constantly about how they're doing nothing. If Hyypia/anyone else at the...

He said they were hopeful of signing them and it would be good to do it this week. From what Bozza was saying yesterday we are hopefully close to signing a couple of players. I very much doubt Sami's reaction is anything like the ridiculous panic on here. The comments on this thread and others...

Just to confirm, when you say "they", do you mean people who don't moan about the club constantly and slag off everything they do? I thought it best to check.

I really don't get this ide that the club have always failed to deliver. Yes, at Withdean we were generally the last to get players but under Poyet that changed. Bloom backed him with serious money and the last summer transfer window at Withdean and both he had at the Amex were very productive...

Bournemouth had money from Grabban so needed to replace him. I don't think Rotherham have spent much and their signings look poor. Brentford are doing what we did the first season up when we spent a lot of money too e.g. Buckley, CMS, Harley, Vincelot, LuaLua (when we signed him permanently) and...

Fair point. I think if we announced Messi and Ronaldo signing on Monday, there'd be complaints that they don't have Championship experience!

The negativity on this board is so boring. I hope we get a couple of signings soon so at least people will stop moaning

I do wonder if people like you do hope you're proved wrong. I am beginning to believe you'd rather be right and us get less good signings judging by your posts. As for it's become the Albion way the last three seasons, that's complete rubbish. You can put an argument for last year, although we...

He wasn't Kuipers, which at the time was a sin for any Albion keeper. He wasn't brilliant but I think he was far from the worst keeper we've had this century.

Completely agree. Crofts was a disappointment in the first season back but was superb last season before his injury. Find it quite shocking that anyone who saw our games in the first half of last season could not see that.

It's really sad that we're in the best period of my time watching (since 1990), have got to the Championship play offs two years in a row, have the biggest crowds in the division and one of the best grounds/new training grounds around yet the negativity is terrible on here. I'm not saying we're...

Six is minimum for me. Keeper, left back and centre half. Then three attacking players depending on what formation we use. Assuming it is 4-3-3 again, we need a creative midfielder (play the Lopez/Orlandi role), winger and striker. If there's money left over after that, then another centre half too.

Serious question. Do you genuinely think Henderson is the worst keeper we've had since 1999/2000? I can come up with a number of worst keepers starting off with Graeme Smith.

Read back over some of the comments on this thread and you'll see what I mean. If the price is right and he wants to go, I would sell him but people seem to be assuming we'll replace him easily, which I don't think is true.
