    Good luck to Grella he needs it. He was meant to be the next big thing over in America before he joined us

    Which lower league Scottish clubs would that be,Doc? Both Dunfermline & Hibs were SPL when he signed for them.

    The players are most certainly open to question without you making stuff up to make it look worse.

    Doc is known to have a broad outlook and covers the full range of emotions. You, as mentioned by a number of people (haven't you noticed), have an almost entirely 100% negative slant. The Ozzy Osbourne of NOT606! :grin:

    1) You also called him a 'questionable loanee'. Hardly positive, is it?
    2) Quintessentially negative!
    3) LOL. Neat bodyswerve, but not good enough. The challenge was to name names, giving you the opportunity to be positive & astound us. It was an academic exercise - you were never going to be held responsible for signing anyone!
    4) Check Google, you lazy bugger! :grin:

    I would describe it as realistic, there hasn't been a lot to sing, cheer and dance about since the inception of this forum. I was negative/realistic about GFH and McD early on and I was proved right, I would have preferred not to be.

    When things are better and we are challenging at the right end of the table I will be positive. The negative tag is something that amuses me, if we were in the top 6, stopped selling our captains and better players twice a season, didn't have owners who fleeced us and had little or few off field problems like unbroken promises by an owner, an owner who wasn't banned from being in charge and facing possible further bans I could understand it.

    Sorry I am not and never will be someone who pretends it isn't all happening and sit on a positive perch because despite being just above the relegation zone it doesn't matter because Millwall lost ;)

    I am not paid to scout players, trawl through videos sent in by agents and check records of possible players who are available on loan. If I were then I would find us better than Bamba and Cani or if I couldn't I would tell the owner not to bother.

    Who couldn't see two games in that Stewart and Kebe were useless, I don't know who does our scouting half the time (or who did) or if it was down to the manager but I do wonder at times what they are paid for. I remember someone telling me I was being negative when I first moaned about those two, the excuse from others was that they needed time to adjust and gain match fitness. Will this be the same excuse for Bamba if he doesn't perform and if it is then surely I am not being negative when I say I have concerns about his fitness and the timing of his signature, surely better to stick with what we have than take a costly gamble <ok>

    I am not even sure on what basis we are signing Bamba, he has played one game in something like 12 months, how many times has Cellino seen him play, never would be my guess. I would love to know why Cellino believes he will do a job for us.

    Austin is strongly being linked with Cardiff, I admit he isn't my favourite player but imagine he didn't belong to us and never had and we heard that Cellino was trying to sign us Stephen Warnock from Derby and Austin from Cardiff, now with that thought in mind imagine I said I don't believe they would be any good, I would prefer us to sign Cani and Bamba, you would call me a fool and say I was being negative <ok>

    So I can't really win with you WJ because if I say our team is crap or needs improving you say it is negative, when I say keep Austin, Warnock and Wooton and wait till the end of the season, don't sign these dubious loan signings it is still negative <ok>

    Evening all. So 2 signings in. Anyone actually moved the other way yet?

    On Hunt, good luck to him. Not sure the way we played last season really suited him.

    Don't think we'd miss Pearce Elland, but if Austin were to go, he would a big loss

    Austin blows hot n cold. We need more consistency. I wouldn't want any of our competition to get him.

    Ristac your likes to posts ratio shows that others feel you are far closer to the pulse of the majority. WJ is just blowing sand up his own arse. Your popularity is bound to bring haters! Feck him.

    As I say its easy to be critical when the chips are down well I will stick my neck out and say Bamba will be a success
