Some may think it's a small matter but the fact we've 9 home-grown players in the 23 man 1st team squad speaks volumes for our academy production line .
There's too many of these news outlets, I used to get all my footy fix from the Newsnow site. Now it's all made up of 10 year old kids now it seems who run these sites. One of them in particular starts every story with.....safc fan's will be furious/ LJ will be furious or Kld will be furious!! It's ****e.
Keith normally follows the Athletic as I think he has a suscription like I expect Keith to tweet it at about 14:15. LJ press conference in 15 mins may be revealing as well...
Sounds like we’re getting a real gem here, judging by the Spurs fans reaction. If this is how the club are moving going forward, I’m all for it.
Cirkin on a permanent but not able to play in the first couple of games is significantly better than Gallacher on loan and able to play against Wigan.
I am with you there mate. No idea which ones are good or not, most seem pointless. It is like when we had ceefax and teletext. You knew ceefax was news and teletext was trying to tease you. Back then it was tease you to ring clubcall, now it is advertising clicks.
By the reports and putting 2 and 2 together First option this lad Tottenham told us no we want him to stay and we'll give a contract so we turned to Gallagher Gallagher all be done this lad turns contract down, Tottenham get back in touch and say a deal is possible player wants to come, So we've turned Gallagher away
LJ presser quotes: "Think we have done excellent summer business" "We'd like to have more - I'm sure they will come in next days and weeks" "It's hard to put a number on it (how many players) we need. We've had good eyes on our younger players and some have really stepped up, even some out of position." "It's no secret there are a couple of holes and we are working hard behind the scenes to get the right player. Easy to sign an average player. We are holding out for the right ones." "We have a good 14, 15 players that are fit and sharp and cohesive and are ready to show everyone what we have been working on" "The fans are allowed to do and think what they want in terms of our transfer business. We've got a standard here and that standard for us in League One should always to be to win the next game" "The fans were one of the big reasons I wanted to come to the club. The new lads are excited and asking the older lads what its going to be like here with fans in." "Hopefully the fans buy into our philosophy and therefore enhance our philosophy"
LJ on Cirkin : "There's a lot of names in the press. They're not our player. You'll be the first to know when they are. I must commend you for trying. We are in the market for certain positions and naturally we will be linked to lots"
LJ on slow business: "In football you are judged every 3 days once the season starts. At time we have failed to get things through and at others we have said we want to wait for a higher level of quality. I expect us after 10 games to be able to show what we are about. These lads have had a fantastic pre-season and will die in a ditch for 96 minutes to win this game" "Yes we want the quality. Yes we want the numbers. I don't want to put pressure and timescales on things. They could fall in 24 hours or 24 days"
The real fans wont whinge at how the club are trying to run things surely? Trying to change the way we play, high press, high tempo (couldn't do it last season with the personnel). Signing the right player at the right price and not panic buying average ****e like we have done previously. I'm all in. HWTL
