Dorset, one of the reasons that I've been firmly in the wait and see camp was I truly believed SB was aware that the PRIORITY was to get someone to replace Bent. Knowing that SAFC play a very quiet hand in dealings, I put the lack of activity down to just that, but this statement makes it sound like he's just become aware of it!!

I honestly, 100% believed that we would have a top, big name striker in before the end of the window. Now??

I'm f****** gutted!!

We need to release sess to play on the left. We need a c/f who can win then hold then play the ball into the path of Gyan.

This c/f doesn't have to be a scoring machine (IMO).

Someone who can do these things will be ok because we will also get more goals from midfield.

I'm sure there must be one out there. My only worry is will Short sanction yet another (so-called) striker and their wages?

BUT - this is Bruce's fault. Perhaps Dong or Whickham - not both.

I know hindsight is 20:20, but thats how I feel.

There's only one badge that counts at the end of the day chaps.

I've got a horrible feeling that this is all Bruce realising he's foooked up massively and this is a charade to appease the fans. I'm not expecting anyone to come in just a Bruce 'we tried, we were close but we just couldn't get it over the line comments Thursday morning. I hope I'm.wrong

I know you are wrong but have a horrible feeling you could be right
 
Now THIS boils my p*** more than anything!!! <grr>

So, having had 7, yes SEVEN months to assess the situation from when Bent left, AND prob 3 months since he knew DW would not be available for another season, knowing that Gyan WAS THE ONLY OUT AND OUT striker we had at the start of this season, he says ..."we need a bit extra up front".

CRAP, every single SAFC supporter knew that - and I bet NONE of us have a UEFA pro-licence - so WHY, WHY, WHY, was this not addressed before the 10 previous deals.

I'm sitting on the fence with SB, but this is tilting me firmly to one side.

Totally agree mate, boils my piss too!

Also this reaks of "well we tried to get some bodies in"

The fact that Bruce keeps saying it is just a cusion for the blow when we dont get anyone in my view but hope im wrong!
