if its true and its Preston and Leeds I expect Nixon will have them soon - he seems to always get them from those clubs
Weren't we linked with Joe Rafferty earlier in window? He's a full back at Preston. didnt get glowing reviews.
I presume the lad above, if it isn’t just the voices in his head, will be referring to Huggins and Rafferty
Theres not one explanation that will make me defy the obvious mate. The season kicks off in less than 2 days, weve had over 2 months to rebuild and we currently have... No Fullbacks No replacement for Wyke No replacement for Mcgeady that only has the legs for a minimum of one game a week No strengh in depth for any of our other first teamers. Less than 4 weeks to try bring players in, get them settled and then upto speed with the philosophy of Johnsons plans. Im sorry mate but unless Dreyfus rings me directly with his plans nothing said on here will make me think that everything thats happened this pre season has been amateurish and embarrassing.
well, the 'last lot' basically decimated our youth set up, since KLD came in he has brought a few young lads in which resulted in better results for the U23's...hopefully, that will mean more young lads coming through the ranks. there was a thought doing the rounds a good few years back amongst clubs that buying young talent when cheap then selling later at profit was the way to sustain the clubs, unfortunately, what we ended up seeing was the big clubs poaching as many of the talented kids as they could then loaning them to lower league clubs, giving them 2 or 3 first team games upon return then selling them at silly money. the big clubs have a massive advantage over the others, give a kid the choice of man utd or hartlepool and we know where he will go, i firmly believe KLD will explore at least a few other options.
I can see your frustration mate, The old timers on this board know your a good poster and love the club, and like most all of us just want out of this league, I can remember loads of times ive disagreed with a signing or even a manager, but we all still go on supporting. For me this is a none story from a **** club with **** history which were run by corrupt ****s like Chinney Hill, cheating barsteward. the sooner they go into liquidation the better for me. As for this Irish lad you will have plenty of time to watch things unfurl and make a decision later if right or wrong. For me im looking forward to the first game happy as hell, and just know in my heart this is the season we go up.
Feck off prick. Whereve you just piped up from??? Introduce yourself and ill respect anything you say a tiny bit more.
the window is yet to close, once it is shut, then we can judge fairly and i will be as p1ssed off as anyone if our squad is still as thin.
Im a fan to the death mate and ill scream the roof down on Sat. I use this place for what its for. Its a forum where we vent, preach and embrace everything to do with our beloved club
No I am not worried about that, I was wondering why can they not buy the next level up for decent fees and wages, why does most lads on here think they have to be crap just because we payed decent money for them, that was the old buying team, if the new buying team do the same they are hardly worth having are they.
THIS is why people think you're an arsehole. Sorry if that offends you, but you don't listen to logic.
Leeds have some cracking players like, still think we will be pushing for Cresswell from Leeds. He’s a centre half though.
I dont really give a feck what people think mate. If you think that then go and feck yourself too with the rest of the f@ckwits on here that cant handle somebody's opinion on a forum.
Probably half those on here moved over cos it’s less negative tbh. The truth is likely inbetween. We haven’t done enough at this point quite clearly and I suspect there are errors in our processes but there is also time for them to turn it around and we’ve lost nowt yet.
