BBM:

"We are very hungry and have a huge appetite to give the supporters a team they are genuinely excited to see again, and to see evolve and improve, and that will involve adding to the squad."

Well after today is shows we need quality

I always thought that we would have got a few in ready for preseason. But this is Cardiff City

These are probably equivalent to top-end championships, so they would be a good comparator for gauging where some of our younger players are in their development.

Yes we will Sign players, But i believe they All have to be off Championship Quality as this Squad needs it Big time.

I do know you have to get rid of players as well.

Lots say they trust bbm ect ect but its not being shown that's for sure .... maybe frustrating no sighnings at moment but doesn't appear to be lot of movement in championship one or two clubs dominating market with 4 or 5 sighnings but they're freebies in the main older championship players do we want that kind player to make up our 1st team squad? Sure its not bbms thoughts on how he sees things

I'm more patient than most but a result like today, even in pre-season against a superior team, causes slight concern.

I'm hoping he has a few deals lined up and we just haven't heard anything.

They are better than a top end Championship team. You only need to look at their results in Europe to see that. They've beaten some good teams and run others like Eintract Frankfurt and Roma pretty close.

I feel as though we've heard this before

"We will sign players" will turn into one of 2

Either "we're happy with what we've got"

Or (along the lines of) "we tried but couldn't quite get the deals over the line"

I'm not moaning I'm just pointing out that it feels a bit like déjà vu AT THE MOMENT at least

Yeah we heard it last summer when the usual morons were moaning and we ended up getting promoted.

But this time we have bbm saying sighn players and lots on here praises bbm and say tan trusts him and bbm is best thing we've had in many years but going by what is now being said people reverting to type like every pre season .

He needs backing end of. Without it we will struggle in my opinion and I'm not talking about one loan player and some freebies only who take 4 weeks to get up to speed either. We have seen it all before where he says he's need this and that and it comes down to the last minute to sign some. If people really believe any manager does not want players now in the squad as pre season starts they are delusional. They want them up running and ready to rock the first league game. Again it's all down to backing from above and I believe he will have a shoe string to work with as per usual so far. We need 4 or 5 better quality players than what we have to even complete in my opinion but others will say we go with what we got as BBM didn't want anyone even though we all know that's a lie in truth it's all about backing from above despite what's said :bluescarf:

We have to sign 2 to cover wintle and kellyman gone

Re: “We will sign players” Says

As I have said - Next season is a step up and we need to get in players to add to this squad .

How is he stoking the fire?
He’s absolutely right in what he said.

Everybody knows we need a good few signings, everybody knows we need a bit more quality and virtually everyone likes and trusts our manager so why are the usual posters moaning already?

People saying the same thing - we need to replace Wintle & Kellyman! Really? No shit! Perhaps they should tell BBM in case he doesn’t know!

It’s not like going to Tescos and picking a few players off the shelf.
BBM was back in work way before the players reported back and I think he knows what he wants and is working behind the scenes to achieve that.

There were lots that would have been happy for us to get a Madine in January, just in case, buy anyone we need players, doesn't matter that there are none in January buy we're panicking.

He's definitely fussy; they have to be right in ability and character, and he wants to keep a happy squad with no cliques. He will get what he wants, especially top-quality loans, but a lot won't arrive until near the deadline. We are going to have a lot of panic right up until then and especially when we play Wrexham, it's going to be fun watching us play the BBM way.

Can you imagine a scenario where BBM has been told “no money, no new players (purchase, free, or loans), and no ambition for the season:?

Thanks mate.

I don't understand why some think because I'm a moderator I'm not allowed to have an opinion or call people out for things.

It is true that last summer we had endless threads of us not signing anyone. By the end of the window, some people were saying "three new players isn't enough" and that "we'd be lucky to stay up". People also decided from day one that they didn't rate BBM and would go after him after every bad result. When I was backing him it was the same old "be careful what you say because remember you backed Riza". I have admitted multiple times that I was wildly wrong about Riza, but some have not held their hands up and said they were wrong about BBM - some have to be fair.

They only actually supported him properly when they had no choice to because it was clear we were heading for promotion. I have no doubt that they'll turn on him again after one or two bad results, that's what fickle fans do.

Your post about transfers is also spot on. I have no doubt we will add quality to the squad. There is a myth that transfers at the end of the window are the ones that nobody else wanted. When in fact the transfers done near the start of the window are that, that's why they can get done so quickly.

We are not going to sign ten players every summer like with previous managers, and that's a good thing. We will add quality, I hope maybe one or two soon, but fans also do need to get real and accept signing the right players sometimes takes time. That is much better than signing just anyone that we are stuck with for years (for example Etete) as has been the case in the past.

One thing is for certain, I won't let anyone stop me from having my opinion or from calling out bullshit when I see it.

I think we will get some unbelievable loans this season, real quality. BBM has made a good name for himself at Man City and with Chelsea after the Kellyman loan, who will probably be back.

Yes we got lucky in a shite league to get out first time around ,and there is nothing wrong with moaning about the squad ,it's a forum.

So you were wrong with your constant moaning last summer?

Wintle was out of contract, Turnbull isn't. It's not difficult to understand. And the manager didn't want Wintle anymore. I'd trust his judgement considering he got us promoted.

You spent last summer saying "look at teams like Plymouth who came down with us and they've signed loads of players". Yet they didn't even make the play-offs.

Nobody is saying we don't need to sign anyone, in fact it's the opposite. Patience is needed because we will add the quality we need, the best players always move in the last month of the window.

Just pointing out that people are writing us off just like last summer and have learnt nothing.

But you saying stuff like "you say the same thing every season" is the pot calling the kettle black.

I completely agree with what OriginalGrangeEndBlue said, and most sane people would.

Why was i "wrong" to moan, are you not allowed to moan about stuff on a forum .
Regarding wintle and turnbull bbm played wintle all season i am not saying anything about contracts I am pointing out we got rid of our player of the season and kept turnbull we could have renewed wintle's contract ? where you happy to see him go ,i was not he was brilliant last season and do you agree turnbull was shite and should be got rid of farmed out whatever and replace with better quality.

BBM was back in work way before the players reported back and I think he knows what he wants and is working behind the scenes to achieve that.



Grange End,
And
you say the same shite every season it's not like going to tesco and picking off the shelf ,change the Record.


He's right though.

And you were one of those constantly moaning last summer and look what happened.



Yes we got lucky in a shite league to get out first time around ,and there is nothing wrong with moaning about the squad ,it's a forum.
I still cannot fathom why we rid ourselves of player of the season and kept, Turnback Turnbull.


So you were wrong with your constant moaning last summer?

Wintle was out of contract, Turnbull isn't. It's not difficult to understand. And the manager didn't want Wintle anymore. I'd trust his judgement considering he got us promoted.

You spent last summer saying "look at teams like Plymouth who came down with us and they've signed loads of players". Yet they didn't even make the play-offs.

Nobody is saying we don't need to sign anyone, in fact it's the opposite. Patience is needed because we will add the quality we need, the best players always move in the last month of the window.

Just pointing out that people are writing us off just like last summer and have learnt nothing.

But you saying stuff like "you say the same thing every season" is the pot calling the kettle black.

I completely agree with what OriginalGrangeEndBlue said, and most sane people would.



Why was i "wrong" to moan, are you not allowed to moan about stuff on a forum .
Regarding wintle and turnbull bbm played wintle all season i am not saying anything about contracts I am pointing out we got rid of our player of the season and kept turnbull we could have renewed wintle's contract ? where you happy to see him go ,i was not he was brilliant last season and do you agree turnbull was shite and should be got rid of farmed out whatever and replace with better quality.


And that's the problem with people like you, you'll never admit you were wrong. Because you were last summer, you were constantly going on about us not bringing in players. I have been wrong about stuff but at least I've got the humility and class to admit it.

You're totally missing the point with Wintle and Turnbull. One was out of contract and not wanted (again I'll go with the manager's judgement over entitled fans). The other is under contract. For him to leave another club has to want him and he has to want the move. I really don't get why can't understand that.

And to answer your question, yes I supported the decision for Wintle to go for two reasons. First is I've never been convinced he's good enough for the Championship. Second is because I will trust a manager that the usual suspects wrote off but actually delivered last season.

I'm not moaning I'm just pointing out that it feels a bit like déjà vu AT THE MOMENT at least


Yeah we heard it last summer when the usual morons were moaning and we ended up getting promoted.

If you don't learn from history, you'll learn nothing.

Gotta stoke the fire haven't u, just can't help yourself. Strange being a moderator and all, very strange.

Great quote though, that needs to be on display somewhere prominent.


How is he stoking the fire?
He’s absolutely right in what he said.

Everybody knows we need a good few signings, everybody knows we need a bit more quality and virtually everyone likes and trusts our manager so why are the usual posters moaning already?

People saying the same thing - we need to replace Wintle & Kellyman! Really? No shit! Perhaps they should tell BBM in case he doesn’t know!

Look Ned I don' t want to argue,

Why was i wrong I never made a prediction about relegation or promotion,?
to moan about players or lack of signings etc is different altogether,so nothing to apologies for.

And look i am looking forward to the new season as much as anyone and I have not been negative not said anything about signings players etc
Grange End picked me out by saying no shit sherlock about wintle kellyman etc after I mention they where no longer here, it was simply to say we need to replace those 2 first so when others say we need to sign 4 etc that would be only 2 new additions so I would say we need 6 new signings.
