Watson back up for Mundle, prem team offered over 2m for the lad today

Hmm, we've won first 3 games with mayenda and rusyn. We've now got Isidor as well.

Not ideal, but I'm not throwing my toys out.


We're as strong squad wise as we were before. Sameda makes us stronger in cm, Isidor we're stronger up front. We're weaker on the left (would have been better with back up for mundle).
 
Shocking. Its just not on.

You can't go on about succession planning and then not sign a left winger when you're pursuing them.

Or not sign a striker when you've got the luck we've had with the past few.
And that is why I’m speakman out. I’ve given him a lot of chances now. And yes, he’s done a lot of good. But this inability to get critical deals over the line is hampering us.

Philogene was cheap because Villa had a sell on clause which obviously was cancelled when they resigned him. If he'd gone anywhere else the fee would have been higher.

Either way. Not as good as Clarke though is he judging by stats? We sold cheap and invested nowt
 
Speakman seems to have a real blind spot when valuing strikers .. he's under real pressure if isoder bombs really needed championship experience to help the youngsters ..time will tell soon enough .
 
I will say Speakman does seem very reluctant to go for central focal point strikers. Which is weird, because that’s specifically what RLB has outlined we need (help for Mayenda).

Have to hope Isidor hits the ground running tomorrow.
 
Another let down by Speakman. He simply cannot seal a deal for a striker we have heard of instead he tried to buy French lads to save coin. We have 18m and didn't capitalise on our league position like when we beat Southampton last year. Shocking
 
Seriously the lack of an announcement of any kind is really odd.

It’s almost like they’re sitting there dumbfounded and numb and not knowing what tone to use.

No one supercedes speakman. He lives a forward that's players across all positions. Hates a 9. That's why we have what we have
