Oh bollox, it's not me is it? I'm sorry, but I really can't be arsed.

Looks like Calde will have to start there on Saturday then. THANKS Wellesley.

I can't believe anyone is daft enough to believe a single performance cost us promotion.
There's no logic or reason in that.

Look, stop messing me about. Do you want me to clean me boots or wot?

Of course not, but then when your second choice right back has got a yellow card, you know the opposition are going to target that weakness.
We need the strongest player for each position.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Plays left back
Is male
Older than 12
Younger than 40

Oh shit, sign me up! I'm both-footed too!

@Wellesley was due to sign, but he's pulled out. @Ninja Elephant and yourself can compete for the role.
Welcome to the club

i just wonder if this is one of the times where the club has to loosen the purse strings in spite of ffp and hope for a cup run or some other income. If we start losing games due to a lack of left back, then some fans may turn their back and they'll make a loss anyway.

no .

I have read some ridiculous things on here over the years, but this is right up there. Turn our backs on the club after a few losses due to the lack of a decent LB?

Not all supporters are true fans through 'thick and thin' and a few losses may impact on the 'feel good' factor, and as we have seen in the last 30 years some of our 'fans' are quite fickle to say the least.
Gates in the 80s the Mullery to Bailey years, dire level of football and a good few thousand went missing...

Not so ridiculous I would suggest :

Are you sure you wouldn't be better off supporting Portsmouth?

True, admittedly it does sound like a Portsmouth style of finance and clearly you are taking things to an extreme. Lets not forget Portsmouth paid inflated wages and sold businesses short, I'm certain my post doesn't suggest that in any way.

Taking some possible scenario's.....

No signing...

Positive - Calderon or Maksimenko, start, play well, team start well....... Fans positive.

Likely (IMO) - Calderon/Maksimenko start, are ok, team do ok....... we remain around 6th - 12th for the majority of the season.

Negative - Team start the season badly, around 18th, season fizzles out by end Feb...... Supporters start to drift, revenue streams drop as less people in the ground, season ends flat, potential season ticket sales are impacted upon. (Yes, I do believe some fans are that 'fickle').

As I have stated I do wonder whether strengthening our weakest position by spending up to £1m, might not be a bad move. I do accept that we would then need to recoup that somehow and it may be selling a player to balance the books, but that's the gamble. Even someone like Joe Mattock would be ok....

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Incidentally, I really hope the club sign a left-back today...... and all my reservations are removed.

Well actually, I can think of one.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Well actually, I can think of one.

We weren't guaranteed promotion if we had beaten Palace.

It cost us another crack at promotion, but it didn't cost us promotion.

 

[B.W.]

Well, it is obvious Dirty Leeds WILL attack us down our left-hand side if no LB is signed. Our chances of success in that game WILL decline significantly as a result.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

I already count Agustien as ours. I mean we've seen him sign the contract and all!

So, one other. Time's getting tight though.

Oh and doesn't take a genius to figure out which position is most pressing. It'll be there.

Still confident?

What does that even mean though, really? For what its worth, I'm happy for them to attack down that side - I'm more confident that Chicksen (who has bags of pace) and Upson can deal with anyone on that side - more so than Bruno & Greer or whoever is on the right!

But attacking down our left to do what? Sling crosses in?

 

[supaseagull]

Well actually, I can think of one.

Is it me?

Gus has left, no'one attacks a Garcia side, we attack them
