Poyet frustrated by loan striker search from Argus paper

[The Large One]

To be fair it was in the evening and I am sure if he has or had selected a target he passes that on and does not actually do the negotiations himself other than the inital enquiry.

And again, Pork Pie, that's a brilliantly simplistic view to Gus being at the Chelsea game. A manager's job when it comes to transfers and loans is often to submit a list of targets to the chief exec or sometimes even the chairmen. Of course Gus will have rung round, but it's the job of someone completely different to try and strike a deal.

This isn't 'football manager'

Don't give pork pie's drivel any credence.

He's an idiot, devoid of forethought.

There must be some serious shortcomings with our own young strikers.

How do you possibly conclude that?

We are in the hunt for the playoffs in the CHAMPIONSHIP. You don't want to have to throw in a youngster THEN do you? Of course you'll explore the loan option first.

why wont Gus take a gamble with someone

'Sake

 

[Baaaald]

Should have been on the phone yesterday, instead on on TV prattling on about his beloved Chelsea.

very true!

'Sake

why sake i was only saying sorry

The shortcoming of our young strikers is that they're young, they don't have the experience that many would want at this point in the season, including Gus I assume. That's not to say we won't use them, in fact it sounds like Barker wasn't bad on Tuesday, but having experienced strikers is important.

 

[Baaaald]

Would rather he gambled with one of the kids from the DS than a muppet like painter or vokes like last year. Gus is right to look for the right player or not at all.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Personally I am reassured that he is not going to bring anyone just for the sake of it. It's a real pain, but we will just have to make do with what we have. Ulloa, Orlandi and Lopez are all in reasonable scoring form, Buckley and Kaz can also chip in with a goal or two, and Toby and barker may well have an opportunity to make a name for themselves. Also there is always Vicente.

There are goals in this squad as it stands, but the team have to step up and give Leo some support.

Clearly that is a dig a players who are currently happy to stay at their club and pick up their wage without the effort of actually playing.

I wonder if it's not the players but the club they're at not letting them go (i.e. want too much money from us) and the player stuck in the middle.

That said, there were quotes as well from Gus about some players wanting to come in and slot in as #1 rather than backup (i.e. sub coming on for 20/30 mins a game) to Ulloa.

This isn't 'football manager'

Exactly, people here seem to think it's so easy (they've done it on FM) and Gus isn't "trying" hard enough. Beggars belief.

Either Barker will get some more game time or midfielders need to start shooting more.

we need to shoot more and not try and score the perfect goal by walking it in the goal and shoot more

This.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Looks like we are not prepared to spend the cash required, so have written off this season.

Bad luck that we have 3 of our 4 strikers out, and that we loaned out a 5th to Palace.

May as well get Dickensen back from loan once his 28 days is up and give him some game time.

Mid table it will be, and try again next year in an even stronger league.

Gus?

 

[brightonmark1234]

Gus?

okay

It really doesn't

Bloody hell

 

[L2MidgetGem B.H.A Seagull]

i cant actually believe this comes as a shock to anyone, there was not a cats chance we were ever going to get in striker. we have what we have, we have to move on a deal with it.

Ulloa
Barker
Torby
Buckley
Vicente

Can all play in that position.

Vicente Is utter gash up front

Why would a Prem player, maybe an international player, who may just be fringe at the moment, drop a division to sit on the bench and be a fringe player again?

Who says we are not prepared to spend cash?

Who says we have written of the season?

Oh only you so lets not worry too much then eh, the season is not over yet we are just outside the playoffs with ALL to play for.

Maybe have a re-think get behind the boys and maybe just maybe we will make it.

Do one fat boy! You are the one devoid of original thought, who cannot do anything but lick Poyet and anyone at the Club's arse. They are not perfect you know?
