No signings so concerning
« on: August 24, 2010, 05:23:52 PM »
Goes without saying really, but with no Manager, I am VERY concerned that we go into the season with the squad weaker than last season.

I see Small Heath bidding for N'Zogbia who I've always rated and Everton in for Crouchie........

IF we and the window with this squad, I'm preparing myself for mid table at very best.

We are in a flamin mess, and I'm not sure we'll come out of this one well myself.

I hope I'm proved wrong.

If we buy no one, will that be such a disaster?  Cuellar, Fonz, Agbonlahor, Collins and Delph to come into the squad.  ReoCoker given another chance (for those out there that like him, dont get it myself).  Albrighton like a new signing....

It doesn't make much sense to buy anyone until a new manager is appointed.

Aha, so Randy did a deal with MON to walk when he did to save money.

It's all coming together now in a kind of Shutter Island way.

I don't want any new signings until a manager is in place.  We can wait till Jan if any new signings are required by the new manager. 

I'm looking forward to Delph getting fit, he's exactly what we need now along with Ireland in Midfield.

What kind of player could we recruit now if KM was given money to spend, English based mediocre types I reckon. That's why I think we need a manager to come in with their own network of contacts and scouts. Even if that means waiting till next summer to recruit players. What ever happens this season it will be a step backwards, Thanks to MON's timing.

Who would have Delph Replaced last sunday then out of interest?

I would have rested Albrighton, put Ashley back on the wing and pushed Ireland up to support Carew

I think we're two players shy, but that said, a competent organiser with a modicum of an idea about tactics should be able to get this squad to challenge for the top 6.

Keep in mind how awful the Jan window can be with prices rising and a mass scramble for any players on the market anywhere decent.
