Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[ciggiesnbeer]

Well I think a pragmatic approach is all well and good but panic seems pretty appropriate at this point given the facts as we know them.

[PaulWinch again]

We're not being pragmatic, the club is being willfully negligent at the moment.

I wonder what our season ticket sales are now compared to say, the summer after we signed Carew and Young in January? I don't know a single person that has renewed.

Hopefully in 5 years time we'll be a proper club again and visiting fans will sing 'where were you when you were shit?' at us.

I don't know if it's coincidence, but you do seem to get more sneering about 'little' clubs and "What is the point  of x?" from the direction of Arsenal than anywhere else.

Not watching, in your case.

Upper Holte, same place I was sitting when we were quite decent and also the same place I sat when it was a bit dull.

Come the revolution, any half and half scarf JCLs who sit by me will find themselves in the lower Holte.

Last season I noticed a lot of rather spiteful comments from Arsneerful fans implying we deserved to go down because we did not play "proper" football. I put it down to bitterness for us beating them fairly at their place.

[claret and blue blood]

well we've renewed and one day we'll be great again and it will feel so sweet .

Don't forget, their bible was written by someone who said that small clubs deserved to go out of business and if you get priced out of attending, tough.

Well, if you ignore the Arsenal part, the bit about us mooking around the bargain bins in Poundstretcher is still worth comment.

Yet more proof the disengagement of our owner is now total.

Who'd have thought it, that he'd go from how he used to be to what he is now.

When Randy took over I never thought for a moment that we'd be spending £35M on a player.  But equally I never thought we'd get to the point where we were signing - exclusively - free 30+ has-beens.

I genuinely can't fathom how a man as wealthy as Lerner has let the club get into this position.

You are Mazrim and I claim my free copy of Soldier of Fortune.

Indeed. Although I have been there for the last three seasons, when we were also shit. Only these remarkable circumstances have pushed me over the edge.

I am twice the man Marzim is.

Literally.

The remarkable circumstances of supporting a team that isn't very good?

[ChicagoLion]

Keane, Senderos, Richardson and  Cole in
Faulkner gone
No sale
Lambert still here

So the strategy is keep our PL status on a shoestring, we have gone from young and hungry and not very good to not very good and not very hungry.

PREPARED for what exactly?
