Lets be fair, seeing the style of football we're playing and how many opportunities we're giving to young lads who wouldn't want to come and be a part of that considering the 'model' obviously.

If we can get Simms back, add another striker and a bit of quality elsewhere we'll all be happy.
Spot on, the likes of City, Liverpool, arsenal etc should be on the phone to us wanting to send their best lads to us.
 
If they didn't rate the lad they wouldn't have recalled him

They might have been desperate and trying to gain any possible advantage, rather than they genuinely think he's the answer. I rate the guy as a prospect but I doubt they've been watching him and thinking this lad's clearly prem standard let's recall him to save our season.

I think they'll be happy to move him on if they can get their preferred target in.

One new player there this evening.

I hope this is Ekwah. If we get him and a striker...Simms?.... and keep Ross, I'll be delighted.
If,I know it's a big if,our injured and suspended players were all available too,we would have a great squad,as good as any in this league,capable of playing some really exciting football.

Have we had a fully fit squad at all this season? If we had I genuinely think we’d be in the race for the automatics which is mental considering I’d have snapped your hands off for 21st before a ball was kicked

This team has been very good and a couple of bits of luck with injuries etc and we would be up there fighting.

Even with the injuries a couple of decisions going the right way for us could have seen us right up there. The penalties against Swansea and Blackburn for a start and we probably would have been 6 points better off just there.

We haven't,but it rarely happens anyway. We've been more unlucky with injuries than most,I think.
However, one of the odd things that's happening this season is that most of us will be quite content if we don't hit the automatics...or even the play-offs...as exciting as that would be,....as long as we're thereabouts,....as there are very few who think we're ready for the PL.or could be made ready at the moment. A year or two at the top end of this division will do us no harm. The attendance levels are a testament to us as fans.....the exciting football is drawing us in ....there are all but a very few PL clubs who would kill for our support! The squad rebuild taking place is phenomenal....and some of the football we're playing is as good as we've seen in more than 20 years. I'm aware that one of the reasons for that is Amad,who,sadly,is not going to be with us next year and will need replacing,but the improvement in players like Neil,Hume,Roberts and others is outstanding and shows what a great job TM is doing.
I love watching the football we're playing at the minute,even though I know it's sometimes vulnerable and these players won't always do the right thing.I'm prepared to accept that,given where we are in our current progression....I understand what we're trying to do,so glad we're no longer signing last pay-day journeymen...looking forward to the future.
 
you recon.
This whole place is getting just like RTG, it seems like loads have just swapped from OTR.

As you've done yourself tbf.

Sadly you're posting in exactly the same way as you do on RTG then kicking off because you get an obvious reaction. If you're being vague and contradictory then people are entitled to question you or disagree. Some posters, on here, have previously been proven correct with info ahead of the news breaking and different to what you've claimed as fact.

You may not like some of the comments but it's a chat forum where people have different opinions. Your 'information' usually tends to be quite annoyingly negative with stories about favourite players leaving, the club paying peanuts and Donald being a major influence. You may believe everything you post but it's naive to expect anyone else to.

Thing is Bob you can't just say 2 players coming in and not expect people to speculate, anyone could predict there's a good chance we'd be getting at least 2 players in, unless you have names or positions to go with it then it a bit of a pointless post

Anybody on this forum could say that and act as though they are itk, pretty pointless posting it.

Agree with this, i dont actually mind folk itk getting transfer activity wrong as i know how quickly things can change. What i do get annoyed at how much he will criticise KLD but then next minute says he was having a nice chat with him. He never says about word about CM or SD when the facts are the club has been transformed under KLD, speakman etc.

Bob i appreciate snippets you give abiut signings whether they come true or not but folk will have a go when you criticise KLD
