Summer window

My best mate is a Preston season ticket holder and he rang me after the match and said they hardly got a kick in the whole match, both there goals were flukes and Clarkes was a 100% penalty. He then said after Clarkes goal he was expecting a real battering until it dawned on him that we just did not have anyone to put it in the goal.
To summarise he said if we had one or two decent strikers we could have had five our play was that good. Our conversation ended with me saying F uck off Brian.

 

I think youve been reading too many Mills and boon books mate .

 

Over 10 pages today while I've been at work, can anyone sum up for me, please?

Anyone signed? Anything rumoured? Or was it just 200 posts of crap?

 

Tom Cairney is signing

 

This

 

Supposed to be getting a striker in on loan tomorrow. Some rumours saying Jay Stansfield from Fulham

 

Broadcast Press conference said nothing imminent, suggestion of loans being only option, minor meltdown. Subsequent unbroadcast press conference reports say signing tomorrow all but complete, no mention of whether loan or not.
Rusyn, Dennis, Stansfield all mentioned by various people as possibilities.

 

Probably because we are still using a league 1 model, when you move up a league the model should also move up and expenditure also moves up. Which player BOUGHT this window is first team ready to play 2/3 of matches, just Dack is first team ready.

 

Bog off! You can trawl through the 200 posts of crap like the rest of us!

We definitely are not using a league 1 model - we are using a model that got us promoted then took us to 6th place last season!!

We dont know which players weve signed this summer are ready for 1st team football yet as its only been 3 games. Took clarke, roberts, hume, batth, Ekwah etc all time to settle - non of them set the world alight 1st few games

I remember loads writing off batth after his 2nd game with us, been an unreal signing yet some wrote him off after 2 games

 

Not sure what you’re point is We haven’t just moved up from league 1. We got into the playoffs last season sticking to a plan fully expect us to gradually upgrade and run very close to top 2 this season I’ve seen us spend daft money and get relegated. Two defeats and we throw the baby out with the bath water not for me

 

I was away for Batth 1st lads said he looked then saw his next 2 or 3 games and I thought what have we done but the lad came good and was a rock for most of the season

 

Yeah he has which makes it all the more frustrating that hes warming the bench. How many other teams would drop their player of the season straight after the season ends and replace him with someone whos not a natural CB?

Its quite obvious were looking at a way to get rid of him which is also very frustrating

 

Was he called Brian or was that someone else?
It’s right though. A proper striker is hungry for the toe poke and pointing exactly where they want it. I think we need a goal hungry player ahead of a big man personally.

 

Would be sent off every game

 

Ashley Barnes would have done a good job for us if wed have shown any interest in him. Unfortunately Norwich signed him instead.

Seemingly a loan deal tomorrow

 

Or maybe batth just hasnt looked sharp in training, maybe his injury last season has really impacted him. We just dont know, think a few have commented and said batth didn't look quite right in preseason, we just dont know

 

Thought his attitude was appalling when we were last in championship. Like most of other players. He didn’t give a **** and sauntered his way through a game
