Did Poyet and Rodgers both blink first?

[Jim D]

Rodgers admitted that he wouldn't have let Carroll go to WHU if he didn't believe he was getting another striker in. Do you think Gus did the opposite - bought Dobbie in the expectation that CMS was going to Norwich? Reading the Argus it seems they thought CMS was on his way earlier on Friday evening.

In ourcase it's not too bad as we've now got an extra striker - although someone that seems quite similar in style to CMS.

i wouldn't believe everything that is printed in the Argus.....

I don't think Dobbie was ever related to a CMS deal, I think was coming in regardless of whether CMS moved or not. If Norwich were sucessful then I think we could well have seen someone like Beckford coming in and possible 1 other. Happy to have kept CMS and added Dobbie though

How would the medical bit have worked, with CMS being in Burnley? We didn't find out about the ones we brought in until the last minute, but looking at the interviews it seems they were here and showing off the shirt in the afternoon.

No. Isn't it more likely that the freeing up of funds by the sale of Craig Noone precipitated the final day's activity.

If CMS had gone, it would have been less of a blow with all the other activity around, but Gus clearly didn't want to lose him.

 

[Stat Brother]

Guess wanted another striker.
The only nod to a possible transfer would be Gus buying a similar forward instead of 'another option'.

But a forward was always going to come in.

The Canary is dead (Eric Cantona unpublished)

If a 25 man squad there are two players in each position plus one extra (keeper). If we want the option of two upfront, we a ought to have three out and out strikers, so we will have to count Barnes as a striker rather than midfielder.

Norwich are like an injury, or a lurgy (poison). Jaundiced yellow.

Those articles about David Lopez joining that have been translated from Spanish to English make more sense than this pile of steaming nonsense. Does anyone ever understand a word posted by this absolute slice?

He would say that though, wouldn't he? He's just reacting to the flak by lying through his teeth.

As has been mentioned on here a fair bit over the past two weeks. We must not let CMS be run ragged over the early season and go into burnout mode, especially if he is recalled by Scotland. Dobbie is good cover and will ensure a depth in squad that will mean we won't go into meltdown in March like last season.

Personally I think the Board screwed him.

im glad you said that . i thought i was going mad . almost all of his post are utter utter drivel that make no sense

 

[malcolmposkettspockets]

Tony Towner's Fridge talking sense. That's a first?

 

[Beach Hut]

Personally I think the Board screwed him.

I agree, in the light of the recent letter from the LFC board posted on their main website.

I would believe very little of what's printed in the Argus

f*** me - Nooney must have been on quite a wedge to allow those four signings!

 

[B.W.]

Rodgers blinked... Gus got it spot on...

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

One great thing about Gus in the short time he has been our manager is he just gets on with it. He has a great relationship with his players and chairman.

He has quite clearly said he will not put a stop any player that has the option to play at the highest level, however he hopes that will be with him. I think this attitude is very commendable and I bet players would say to anyone thinking of joining us, do it, Gus wants to play football, is passionate about winning, it may not be the best wages compared to others, but the stadium rocks and the life style is great. Bring on the best training facility in the country.
