Fuck Mcgeady. I dont want him or any other bang average benchwarmers. Does MON never get the sodding message? Hes already tried buying players like that ie Maloney and routledge. why not spend the money on gio dos santos or hleb if he wants a winger. Or infact fcuk the lot of em and pay for henry for a year. Free transfer who's gonna be wasted in america.

I fear im going to hate every transfer window while weve got this little penny pinching, bingo playing irishman at the helm.


Bingo playing?


Didn't know MON was partial to a bit of Bingo !!


Now which game did he play in then?

The way things are shaping up, I am inclined to concur with your to the point analysis. I am getting to the point where I think I would crack a bottle of champagne if we were even rumoured to be interested in a big name, never mind sign one. That in itself would appear to be progress against the dross we are currently linked with...

There seems a general air of depression around the club, even watching mon being interviewed he seemed to be lacking that spark we've seen in the past, I wonder if randy is thinking the top 4 is much harder to crack now than at any time since he's been here and that maybe we just don't have that kind of money.

We all need a lift and a couple of exciting signings would help !

I noticed that Standard Liege didn't even get into the Europa last season, they've got a couple of highly rated midfielders, particularly Defour.

Well it's now obvious that there is a sell to buy policy! It can't be coincidence that we've not been able to shift anyone out and that no ones been brought in yet.

Yes because in other seasons we've made loads of signings by the 14th July.

I think the whole thing is overplayed.

Most clubs will have a limit to how many players they can sustain at one one time, we're probably around our upper level now so we will naturally have to let a few go if we want to bring in others. You can't just keep adding numbers each season.

Correct. Sell before you buy dose'nt just mean bringing in transfer money to enable you to purchase someone else (which of course helps) but more often than not, it means getting people off the wage bill before you add to it.

Here you go then, I am officially linking us with Lionel Messi. He wants to leave Barcelona to join a bigger club apparently. I hope this helps, maybe this will allow you to calm down a bit.
