Also, I don't think we have the sort of manager who is going to inspire confidence to many players outside of the bottom two divisions. Until a player passes his medical and signs contracts, I will carry on taking these transfer rumours with a pinch of salt.

The media has been saying all the so called potential signings.
We put out Ameobi and Quinn and both these players met and sat down with Slade,thats the nearest weve come to signing players.

Agree with you. I don't believe much of what I read in the papers either. There are also people who post things on here like the one who knew someone who knew someone else who guaranteed 110% that Joe Allen was coming to us on loan. Most of us knew that this was absolute rubbish, but I don't see the point in starting these sort of rumours when they are almost as unbelievable as thinking Santa Clause is a real person. Lost count of the number of players who were supposedly supposed to be coming here. Good for a bit of a laugh though I suppose, especially when we haven't got any matches to discuss. Roll on the start of the season.

We wont be competing while Slade is at the helm.
Fans are saying it , players are saying it , sky sports are saying it by not picking us for matches.
November will be too late to make amends.
Evidence that no one on the so called A list wants to join

I just hope we don't sell players before we have replacements for them. That's not to say that it couldn't be improved upon with a midfield enforcer and a good wide player. We may even have those players already if Dikgajoi gets fit, and Craig Noone rediscovers some form.
Kenwynne Jones may well be payed twice what he is worth, but just about every supporter of every other team in the championship would rather have him playing for them rather playing for us against their team.
Do you not think that there are supporters at other clubs up and down the country complaining about their lack of signings too? The transfer window opened TODAY, and there is another 2 months of it yet. We've had early signings the last couple of years, and what happened to them? And yet our most successful recent signing was Bruno and he didn't arrive until after the season started.
As usual, people, try to keep things in perspective and give the management team a chance.

Another season in mid table for us. No ambition from the club at all. Truly disheartening.

agree I just think we need another striker and a winger/midfield play maker and our squad is good enough for top sixbluebird58 wrote:I honestly believe that we have a good enough squad to get into the top 6 already.
