I liked the quote
' "Overall I'm quite happy with what I saw on the pitch. We got the ball in the areas we want the ball to be but maybe in the last third we lacked the concentration, movement and lacked the quality in the final third to create more chances."
This looks spot on.

This is important and, I believe, encouraging information. I was assuming that the Ulloa dosh would be heading our way via some boring electronic transfer, but I am now imagining a signing ceremony along the lines of an international treaty with the Leicester chief executive wielding a fine gold-nibbed vintage fountain pen or perhaps even a quill. Marvellous scenes.
Why does everything have to be done NOW
Come the first of September we'll all know what creak the club is in, and whether we have a paddle or not.
We'll not lose the division in October.
We'll not be relegated by Christmas.
I'd love to know where all this negative certainty comes from, in July, 72 hours after a massive windfall.

There is a food chain in the transfer market, we are higher up it than we were 5 years ago, but no where near the top. This means that we will always sell our best players (there are about half a dozen clubs that are not forced to globally and only Chelsea and Man City in this country).
Bloom is committed to long term stability, so we will spend less that get in transfer fees as the club otherwise makes a loss ( we still lost money last year!). I am sure that we will sign 3 permanently and have a couple of loans over the next 8 weeks, but we have to rely on young players coming through to bridge the gap. I would imagine at 2 of March, JFC and ince will improve and someone else (Fenelen or Walton?) will come through, and that trying to get good quality players on a reasonable salary takes time (and the threat of the window closing...)
In short we are a decent sized championship club capable of a bit of yo-yoing between the top 2 divisions, not a really big club that can just go and buy the talent that it wants.
This is not a lack of ambition, just a reality in a system that disproportionally distributes wealth to a minority of clubs and has many owners who are will to throw many millions at players and agents in the hope of short term and unsustainable success. Bloom seemingly is not prepared to do thiis, and personally do not blame him.
This strategy seems to be based on a 10/20 year plan; fine with me. If I wanted instant gratification of success I would not bothered supporting my home town and wandered round Churchill square in a man utd shirt on a Saturday afternoon rather than going to watch a game live...
We may not make the premier league this year, "because bloom isn't willing to pay for it" but I don't see why he should have to, or that it is in the club's (or fan's) long term interest to do so...

That's the way of NSC these days. Apart from the occasional snippets of wit and wisdom, there's so much doom and gloom.
I suggest Tony writes to the Football League now to resign and close the club to spare us all the pain of supporting such a hopeless club.

Yes it looks spot on, but, this has been our problem since we moved to the Amex!
Woeful in front of goal when the limited opportunities arise.

Yet another Albion bed wetter to add to the list, I doubt the money for Ulloa has even hit the bank yet.
Isnt it just possible we have been waiting for that deal to happen before finalising deals or indeed going after better targets now we have more funds...

So woeful that the man responsible for making the most of those limited opportunities usually with his head has just been sold for 10m quid.
What worries me is how different this is to the last few years. I remember the last couple of summers us announcing all our new signings on July 1st, and how much better our squad was for it, the way our entire squad got a full preseason to get to know each other, and I think that's the reason we did as well as we have for the past few seasons.
I can't remember the last time the top six at the end of the season contained any team that had dropped points in the first two months of the season, or signed anyone after the season started. This really needs sorting.
I've already started looking up travel plans for how to get to Newport for the 2015/16 season.

Waste of an insult that is, your better off using it on someone who might get upset about it.
What does concern me though is the fact the manager now seems no more than hopeful that we'll bring in some new players before the season starts.

Yes, woeful. Don't you remember game after game when we had one or maybe no attempts on goal? Last season and the season before etc! £10m? 16 goals? I think Leicester have had their trousers pulled down. Still it's money in the bank.

It depends how you read it. He sounds realistic to me, just answering the journo's question.

What's wrong with a mix ?
Upson, Bridge, Ward, Lingard, KLL all loanees in recent seasons.
Who are the has beens we relied upon ?
Upson ? Bruno ?
Where do Stephens, Toko, Agustien, Ince, Walton - all recent signings - fit in this categorisation of our recruitment ?

Such as? And don't just spout nonsense - tell us name of players who have 'turned us down' this close season. Hearing an unsubstantiated rumour on NSC does not mean fact.
