Be interesting to see how motormouth and his boss explain this one away.
I wasn't Oscars biggest fan but I don't believe for one minute Rosenior wanted to leave the window with only Delap and Connoly as recognised strikers.
So, he is either gonna pretend this was part of the plan and let us all know that it's simply down to Oscar not 'suiting our style of play' or 'needing more experience' elsewhere or he is going to have to come out and tell the truth which is 'I wanted rid and thought we had someone else lined up but as with last season whoever does out transfers talks too early and messed the whole thing up leaving me without a player'.
If what we signed is Roseniors number 1 targets in each position then I'm even more sceptical about his ability.
People keep pointing out what a great window this has been. I would suggest that we've ended up with massive downgrades on all players we were originally looking at and a £5m punt on a kid that could well be a decent player but has to prove himself yet.
I don't know for sure other than the GK of course but on that one example alone we have gone from chasing one of the best reserve keepers in the Prem to ending up with one that a rival club doesn't want anymore with a reputation from thats clubs fans as been ****.
Are we really to believe that when talkalot and Acun were sat having a meal at the end of last season a list was produced and he said 'listen boss, call me a fool if you want but I am getting us top 6 and these are the boys who are going to do it'.
The media team can do what they want to try and pretend it's exciting. Signing those players after all the talk of 'blow your socks off signgings' is poor. And part of me thinks the showman was just at it again. He didn't need to rope in his mate from Botanic though. He has left that guy with zero credibility now
Do you reckon there's a single manager out there who would come out that bluntly? Perhaps don't pretend it's just Rosenior who would spin a transfer window in the positive.
