[Albion] Paul Barber: The Transfer Window

[Driver8]

Yeah, it's unbelievable because it's not true.

So where are they? Have I missed a signing or two?

One thing this thread has taught me, if I ever meet Paul Barber I won't ask him a question, life is far too short.

 

[Driver8]

Yeah, because it is really sensible to list our targets. That would be a shambles.

I’m talking about the last window not the next. It will be too late by then.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

A large number of whiney sniping responses, and a small number of positive posts. The former get none to 4 thumbs up. The latter, especially the early ones, dozens. Viva the silent majority. Thanks to [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] for posting

It is a bit of a shame that our CEO has to write programme ntes to answer questions from a bunch of dickheads.

Or genuine questions from paying customers ( fans of the club ) that maybe do not understand how the transfer window works, and why transfer targets fell through.

You said we didn't have any back up plans. We quite clearly did, did you read Barber's response? Just because we didn't succeed in getting them, doesn't mean we didn't have any.

I don't really know why I'm bothering to explain, it really isn't that difficult to understand for anyone with half a brain in their head.

 

[BrianWade4]

I can't believe the negative response

Barber didn't have to write. But did. Thank you

His explanation makes sense to me and I'm glad he shared it.

Let's judge him / the Board at season end...

They have not been a shambles sing Hyppia...and that was a differenct team behind the scenes. Since then they have been excellent. Why would they suddenly go "oh, we don't need options like we have been doing." Do you think they all fell over and hit their head? Or is it more reasonable that things just didn't come off on one target. We got players in all our other target positions, we missed one.

Probably the most important one we have ever needed . Just opinions i know but can't think of another premier team with just three average strikers two of which are injured a huge gamble no matter how it's dressed up

So am I. It would be an utter shambles to announce who we went for. Not to mention unprofessional.

If our two back ups as well as our two main targets all went tits up then it really was a shambles and a perfect example of why you shouldn’t leave things to the last minute.

See post #1.

If Paul Barber and recruitment team can't admit to the mistakes being made in the summer transfer window and not learnt from them, God help us in January.

You just come accross as just not knowing how things work at all. Some of the targets won't be available early in the window etc. But you don't believe that.

So far you have called others supporters 'dickheads' 'insane' and 'idiots' - Maybe just wind your neck in a bit? Some of us just disagree with PB I don't know why you are getting so uptight?

 

[JBizzle]

Good read. Fair points. We move on and support the team.

The evidence would suggest it’s not me that doesn’t know how things work.

Nothing from PB that we didn't already know. Thing is, Paul, the club failed to plug the single biggest most obvious gap in our squad. So everything you say in that diatribe is just PR bullsh1t. No doubt some on here will lap it up, but some of us know better. You, like all of us, are and should be judged on results. You failed.

Could it be control freakery?

 

[DJ NOBO]

As Homer Simpson once said : "The problem in the world today is communication. Too much communication"

Get over yourself , Paul.
For whatever reasons, the window didn't go to plan. Take the hit, and get on with it.
If you've got the hump because you saw some mean posts about yourself or Tony bloom on this site it was a tiny, tiny minority.

Pretty embarrassing some of the comments by so called Albion fans.

What exactly is it that you know better than others then?
