January transfer thread

It’s fair enough to call Gelhardt unproven IMO. I don’t think it’s relevant but it’s fair.

Saying that we only have one striker because of them not planning for Stewart’s injury is a bit counter intuitive tho. Clearly the plan was to have 3. Everton being Everton and Stewart’s Achilles have seen us have 1. And no doubt they’re trying hard to put that right now.

 

None of us know what we have done or tried to do

 

An unproven striker but yet he's been playing PL football and looks quality

 

If you’d read my posts, you’ll see that I agree with you and I’m not slating our recruitment as a whole, just this situation could have been planned better.

 

this is the point tho. You don’t know how much has been done. How can you say they should do more when for all any of us know; they’ve been working 24/7 to get somebody

 

And how do you know that they havent done everything to land the players that will improve us?

 

And I hope that is the case, and that we pull a rabbit out the hat before the deadline. But it looks to me like we’ve hung out for Simms which might now not happen.

 

Not going to happen is it

 

we can’t know that tho. There’s been nothing to suggest we are even seeing simms as a possibility today other than us on forums seeing it as the obvious option.

 

It's also fair to say he's played at a higher level than Stewart

 

You may be correct, but they have failed in their aim

 

absolutely. I think he could prove to be better than Stewart. We won’t know until he’s getting a run of games

 

Thats not necessarily their fault though. Would you rather we just signed anyone just so we can have another striker?

 

but....but.....2 strikers man.......Speakmann.......etc etc

So bored of people slagging off the club thinking that buying players is as easy as the original football manager on spectrum

 

Hope he stays fit, we are definitely going to get our money's worth out of him.

 

Can still sign free agents after today. What about Jerome Sinclair or Fraser Campbell!!

 

Why am I looking at Ibrahimovic at the bottom of this list

 

I'd rather we just went forward with Gelthardt and Amad/Lihadji/Benette etc

 

Some people seem to ignore everything good about the club and only put down their computer games when it's the window and time to attack the club.

 

Aye that's what is annoying me the most. I scout for a team and while I am not involved in the recruitment as such I know how hard it is and most importantly how hard the guys in the recruitment team work.

Speakman etc will have been working non stop this transfer window to improve the squad. We have signed 3 exciting players permanently and got a great loan signing in

Of course we need a striker but I know they'll be working so hard to bring someone in so if no1 signs it wont be for a lack of trying or planning
