Why would any decent player with a choice of clubs to go to want to come here with the style of football on offer. That is apart from picking up the spondoolies of course. The system doesn't work and the manager is too stubborn to change it. If he can get the results playing his way, fair enough. Saturday is a massive game in terms of looking for an entertaining, committed performance more than anything else. The clock is ticking.
Exactly If McCann was playing a certain way and refusing to accept we dont have the players or the coaches to impliment it he would be getting pelters. Rosenior has had enough time in the job to work this out but keeps setting up players to fail. No wonder some of them dont like him. As I have said before he was not popular at Derby and it sounds like City players are working him out too. Too much chat. If he was expecting better players in the summer he needs to come out and say it otherwise he is going to take the fall for a lack of money. I'm more inclined to think he just cant attract the right players in from what I have heard which makes sense.
He’s supposedly been getting some of his first choices.. held out all summer for Connolly who looks like he needs 2 pre seasons. Such focus goes on giving Rosenior full control of transfers and I’m unsure what his track record thus far has done to show he can be trusted.
Why are we not going all out on a ball playing keeper? It seems it’s the most essential piece of the puzzle and we haven’t tried signing one in the past 2 windows.
Saw it mentioned that we're in for Ryan Allsop at Cardiff - don't know how true it is, it was a Cardiff fan who said it, but looks like he was at Derby when Rosenior was there - so could be some truth in it?
He quite clearly hasn't 'held out all summer for Connolly', two weeks ago he said he wasn't looking to bring him in, then changed his mind.
Would have to assume the deal was going to be too expensive and something changed? Connolly probably had few other options on the table.
If any of last summer's signings want to leave, I'd have no problem with it. Honestly couldn't care less. I certainly wouldn't be pandering to any of them
He didn’t hold out for Connolly, I think he’s struggling to attract people, which is why he went back for Connolly
