[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

[schmunk]

Get ready for Lickers posting that all is well, we need to be patient, there’s still time, blah ****ing blah...

So who is our RB if Montoya is injured? Who is going to score 10+ goals if Muzza cannot deliver yet again? We are not at the Withdean in the lower leagues anymore FFS!

Did you even read my post? I said maybe one signing and I expect that to be a striker and a squad player by which I mean a second choice right back. If you expect more than that you will be disappointed.

Also we have spent circa £20m on two players already, in a slow window for every club it’s not like we have done nothing.

Oh FFS give it a rest. If we don't bring anybody in for the next week, it doesn't mean we're nailed on for relegation. Even if we don't bring in anyone at all, yes, it increases the chances of going down, but it doesn't make it certain. Nothing makes relegation certain except being X points behind the team in 17th. with only Y points available to win. That won't happen until March at the earliest, and unless or until it does, it's not a certainty. Neither you nor I nor anybody else knows how results will go this season.

Cant see nailed on relegation in your quoted post. Very likely relegation was though. We are very likely to go down as the squad stands. There can surely be no argument over that?

It appears that Lickers like you just can’t see the gaps in our squad and failings in our recruitment. But they are ****ing obvious. Maybe one day you and your like will join us in the real world space cadet?

You are completely right, I don't know how there are so many people on here who completely dismiss genuine concern about our transfer window... in a thread about the transfer window. If our squad stays how it currently is I would be astonished if we didn't go down, yet it doesn't seem like we're doing anything to improve the gaping gaps with time quickly running out.

Manager tactics.

Part of it yes. Partly players available leading to the approach taken. Are you really that confident that Potter will be that much more successful with them?

I'm hoping but it's a massive gamble based on the dealings this far, one likely to fail I'd say.

Yes! Kind of agree, relegation almost certain if no incomings.

I understand that venting on here helps you exorcise your frustration, but did you know that writing those frustrations and then deleting them has the same psychological effect as when you upload them? The added bonus is when you delete, we don't have to suffer your Annual transfer meltdown.

I don't like, or agree with, this talk of "nailed on relegation". Firstly, there are always teams that do worse than expected and teams that do better - we could easily be in the latter category, and there are plenty in the former. Secondly, our squad isn't anywhere near as bad as people think. Though I certainly think we need two more signings, if we go to Watford with the following team I think we have a chance:

Ryan
Duffy - Dunk - Clarke
Montoya - Stephens - Propper - Bernardo
Gross - Trossard
Murray
​

We still have AJ, Locadia, Andone, Bissouma, Jose & March as attacking players not in that team too.

So yes, we need players, but let's not underestimate the players we have

 

[LamieRobertson]

I'm beginning to think the club is consolidating and does not intend wasting monies. Just hoping Potter can live up to his previous successes...

I dont mind consolidating our position in the PL...but to do that the squad needs to evolve but it isn’t this transfer window ...but i guess we are consolidating our relegation credentials

We won’t play with 3 at the back

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Maybe not, maybe. The one thing we know about Potter is that we won't know what he plans to do

 

[Hugo Rune]

We won’t play with 3 at the back

You might be in for a bit of a shock, perhaps starting with today’s fixture!

Potter shifted to 3-at-the-back against Crawley and used the formation many many times in his 6 years at Östersunds.

He sets his system to suit a particular match not to suit any preference he may have over formation.

 

[zefarelly]

I'm quietly optimistic as well, our squad is nowhere near as bad as many seems to assume . . . .and we still have players who have not been played to their strengths, so we don't really know how good they could be. We do need a proven Murray and Bruno replacement however . . . .either from within the ranks, or a new acquisition. . . .and we have no idea how the teams going to line up formation or tactics wise.

Keep the faith people. I’ve no doubt that the club is doing everything it can to bring in new players. I’d be extremely surprised if we don’t see two or three new faces before the season starts.

Thank you. At least I now know there are others out there with similar thoughts. I just don’t get the lack of meaningful recruitment by our club in the positions we need to fill, or the posters who seem incapable of understanding how seriously short of being competitive we are with our current squad.

I am sorry if my realism and nous offends your club-can-do-no-wrong sensibility, but I will not hold back on saying what I believe. Sorry in advance [emoji52]...

Honestly, I’m staggered we still haven’t signed a striker. It’s been 3 seasons in the Prem now where we’ve had to rely on Murray up front.

Even Newcastle have been better then us in the market.

Why are we scrimping and saving? We’re a premiership club, it’s time to act like one.

Shame Izzy and Biss are unlikely to feature for some time, but I get your point. I am not slagging off the players we already have. But the Prem gets stronger every season and, as things stand, we are weaker in terms of squad than last season...

Whilst I don't like using the word Newcastle in anything BHA related, the inescapable fact is we haven't signed a decent top flight striker anywhere near his prime for decades.
