Do people with the sly digs treat your lasses the same way?

I ****ing hate this board atm. Folk left right and centre having sly little digs at our club without of fraction of evidence off to back up their spiteful digs. Is there not enough facts you lot(those constantly having digs at the club) can use to get your fill or is the need to go all jackanory just a compulsion?:emoticon-0121-angry

Chill mate its just a forum, and we are all blindly guessing, hows the painting going. :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
We had to pay an enormous signing on fee + agent's fee - no such thing as a free transfer only a different name on the cheque.
Thanks for the info Bob, I dont think there is anything in the story tbh. our priorities lie elsewhere, reading between the lines. But I would not mind the Ayew brothers tbh. both look quality atm but time will tell.

It's only people's opinions Bri. Don't get yourself worked up, you're always gonna find people who's opinions polarise your own thoughts.

Just take the piss.

They are not putting a lot of thought into their logic. These players were available and DA never went in for them as they were an unknown entity, now that they have flourished in the EPL the wisdom after fact kicks in and it then becomes the "clubs" fault for whatever reason the moaner chooses.

Human nature unfortunately.
 
Just every little thing is irritating me at the moment on here. My problem like.

Bathroom done and Kitchen nearly there. Then I'll have a fortnight off and do the main rooms.

I wasnt sure whether it was decorating or the finer arts, taking up your time, but am pleased you are making progress, keep plugging away mate Ive got my decorating to start in a week or two. Onwards and upwards.:emoticon-0148-yes:

There's all manner of reason why we wouldn't. Like priorities. Ayew moved near the start of June, we didn't sign our striker until back end of August. We were strengthening elsewhere.

I was refering to the time when John Mensah was singing our praises as a chance to have built bridges with the Ghana national squad, this of course was not to be and we will never know the truth about what happened to sour that relationship, but sadly fo one reason or another and possibly for us it was not to be.

Can go with that, especially when the club supposedly invested heavily in Africa but somehow our managerial appointments stuck with players they knew rather than take a chance on direct recruiting. Even in Peter Reid's time he apparently thought that Samuel Eto'o wasn't worth signing.

Reminds me of when we signed Bob Lee, and of course the famous Milton Nunez, both examples of careless recruitment, whoops I'll will be getting into trouble again. I'm off, back tommorrow all being well. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

Saying a signing is bad is different to claiming we were at the back of the queue for players we weren't even linked with or deciding bad negotiating has been a factor in a standard loan deal which involves a fee. The first is a assessment the other to a negative assumptions. Worlds apart where I come from. Jus' sayin'
 
Hopefully nothing in it - without being disrespectful Ayew would want a club in a better position than Sunderland (and if he were looking to come to us from another club he'd probably laugh).

OK you can have him for £20 million & keep Danny (even though he got a very good reception from our lot on Wednesday) - I reckon we could get Bony back for that sort of Wonga (Sorry - couldn't resist).

You misunderstood! We were offering you £20m to take Danny off our hands :emoticon-0136-giggl
