Were you at the game?

Fox wasn't great, however I can tell you because I was at the game, Fox tried to get a lot closer to the wide man in the first half and so I see that as he is learning or listening to the coaches. In the second half he had two players overlapping... even I couldn't cope with that in my pomp!

Do you need to be at the game? Knowing me and how I am the atmosphere would have given me those rosy glasses as often it does.

I watched the whole game live on TV, not highlights and not just the goals....the whole game.
 
Better gamble than spending money we don't have and putting the future of the club in doubt .

Remember the year we spent 9 million or so and lost to Derby in the play offs ?

Look where that led us ............


I thought we were minted ? Ok then if we dont spend money we will be relegated , that I am sure .
 
Gomarching we have just spent the 5th most of any teams in the window. Nothing else can happen until January. We have the squad we have. We need to get behind Nigel and the lads. We will be fine!

I don't know if we are loaded or not , I am sure though that part of cortese's plan is to make the club self sufficient and I wish him luck in that .

All these clubs with Mega rich owners that simply throw money at it will , imho , come a cropper one day , tv money WILL drop , just a matter of when .

Just my opinion though .
 
Please can people stop quoting gomarchingin? I am sure lots of us have him on ignore, and it really isn't fair on us to STILL have to see his rubbish.
 
We should of done more business or this would not of come out , its like an admission of failure , thats what riles me , we have had since May to get our team , ideas , formations , squads sorted , that was exctly not the time to off taken holiday (Devon), breaks whatever .

I take your point , but do more Buisness at what cost ?

Also how many Buttner type deals happened ?

We are after someone , one of the Loaded teams spots this , beats our offer and promises HUGE STUPID salaries ?

I don't know , none of us do , but I don't believe for 1 minute NA / NC Had targets but were NOT prepared to pay stupid money , and I agree with that philosophy .

It also proves IMHO our scouting network is working !

If it wasn't the Echo I'd say someone has accidentally copy and pasted the wrong quotes into the story. But no, it is just another bit of nonsense from them.

Gomarching you are fully entitled to your opinion but the squad had earned two successive promotions and the right to have a go at the top. Nigel has strengthened and spent well over £20 million doing so. We will never do a Man City or Chelsea bu can spend if we haveto. Our strength in the next few years will be the continued rise of players like Lallana, JWP and Morgan.

Yes and I can not wait for that day , football will eat itself , brilliant but in the meantime we needed better players as we dont have them at the club to stay up . Say we get an injury and a suspension in the centre back two ? Christ they are awful as it is who would we play then ?

Bassong as an example is what we should of gone for .

Can you tell me why they derserve that ? That is a sentimental viewpoint , why have we got rid of Hammond then ? He earned his place did he not ? If we do not spend Lallana and all of them will leave through showing lack of ambition , if we go down they leave as they can play higher , they are the facts .

What if our Goalie gets injured , what if his replacement gets injured ?

Getting silly now .
 
I can see another 30m being spent in jan tbh, Depending how we are doing of course.
 
You do come up with a load of rubbish <laugh>.
Why we have signed our record signing who will be off at a profit if he plays well and we go down , shrewd business if you ask me . If we stay up and he plays well a massive bid will come in for him , the worst case scenario is we stay up and he turns out ****e .
