Why go to the bottlers? Leo should have taken thudd aside as soon as he got the job with the words " YOUR MY MAN "
I agree fully with that . You say Thud we need you to stay. Here's a backhander and we'll match the wages offer, plus promotion bonuses
considering we had mainly chumpionship level players that were trying to hold their own in PL... we still have them same players, with the same abilities - it isn't like they have simultaneously all lost their ability and gone back a level to League 1 level. this isn't a computer game. I know that a lot of kiddies on here are emotive ****tards, that type without thinking. kinda though you had your head screwed on right. <shrug> ... ah yeah sorry, nothing to do with transfers - sorry
Kanu wanted a massive signing on fee and about £100k a week. How many goals did he score for WBA ? was it one or two ? Powell was a flop at Wigan. We signed Marshall even though Bruce had also bought a keeper in from Slovakia or somewhere for about £1.5m towards the back end of the season and he never was never considered good enough for the first team and was eventually released on a free. Don't know anything about the Cameroon player. Bruce was waiting for the call from Villa all summer, then applied for the England job, which is hardly showing 'positivity and enthusiasm' for the job IMO.
Pity we didn't get him, he scored 13 in 25 games last season. Palace are apparently looking at bidding for him now.
None of that has anything at all to do with my post, which was that Marshall and Mason were Bruce targets. Nobody gives a **** about players we didn't sign a year ago.
Problem is, Derby can say the same thing to him, and like Davies he'll remember last summer and look at the similarities to what we've done so far this summer. Realistically why would any player believe that this season will be any better than last? He could surely be forgiven for thinking we're not taking this season any more seriously than last and won't be anywhere near promotion.
has Slut expressed any interest in any players? he must be overall happy with what he has got, cos he has taken them to Portugal. I think Id be kinda surprised if we signed anyone really.
