Summer transfer rumours

[Oliver's Army]

I've just moved to the Cotswolds and, ffs, what a clart on, exactly as you're saying.

Find a doctor, find a dentist, get stopped by everyone in the village asking loads of questions, furnish the house, wait for the internet to be installed, etc etc etc.

I'm never moving again ...

... unless I double my money

Moving house is a pain in the arse and I don't think people realize that (at L1 level) these players haven't got multiple people sorting all that sort of stuff out for them. At Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and all those clubs, yes it's all sorted. Just wander into the gaff and ask them to change the curtains and jobs a guddun. Different ballgame at our level though imo. The fanzines and muppets on Twitter think it's all the same throughout the pyramid when it's not.

Maybe you shouldn't ; ) I'm off to bed hopefully we sign some players tomorrow so I don't have to post so.much

Hallelujah!!

All the players we have brought in so far are a step up and can play at a very good level in the league above, or have the pedigree to do so - if not higher.

If we get 4 more in like that, as round pegs for round holes, I'll be delighted. If we neen another 1 or 2 from league 2 who are top prospects to make the step up, I'm happy with that too.

we're trying to buy a house about half a mile away from where we live. it absorbs every spare minute and I'm ****ing sick of it. i want to kill the estate agents and my wife wants to kill me. its great

 

[SAFCDRUM]

In between a couple of people ****ting themselves thinking we are going to be rock bottom come September 1st, does anyone have any transfer rumours?

We really would like a bungalow
However we have lived in this house since new and put a lot of love in it
We are really comfortable and find it hard to move on

Blimey, you joined the Chipping Norton set? If you see Cameron lamp him for me would you?

Since I left the parents gaff I've had 2 different houses with our lass (nor ) and the experience has been horrible both times. If I'd have been expected to just ignore all that stuff and 'get on with my job on a Saturday and score goals' I'd have failed miserably until I knew we were sorted. The players at this level arent too different imo. They aren't Pogba, Haarland etc where it's all sorted for them.

Not really, having to work as you're sorting the place out is tiring and I've done it so often the novelty's worn off tbh.

Spending the prior 15 months in a French lockdown didn't help.

We're near Bourton on the Water if you're passing and fancy a pint.

Being concerned isn't a problem, But judging a window before it's finished, Speakman been wrote off, kld been wrote off, clubs fault Pritchard has covid, people complain we aren't going for young upcoming player, we go and get a young and upcoming player, 'too young him' Harvey been wrote off, window been wrote off yet 5 weeks left of it

You have Being concerned and then you have toxic,

you have fans saying if we get best off Wigan the will be hell on. Brilliant that isn't it 1 game into the season ?

Never known a window get judged before it's finished

No doubt there will be some fans turning on the team after 1 game if we lose to wigan, and writing the season off.

 

[Mackem 10.1]

Is there discontent within the club? Or are you basing that on what's being posted on RTG and Twitter?
I really don't understand all the negativity (not necessarily from you but in general). We've got a new owner and the club is being rebuilt. That's not going to be instantaneous. The constant criticism of the club isn't going to make the rebuild faster.

Because we seem to have some fans who think its just a overnight thing to change the whole structure of the club, and are just going to spend millions.

Sunderland Til I Die ...

... as long as they die in the warm up

 

[Mackem 10.1]

So your happy to right off 5 games and 15 points.

Evven if we dont sign anybody before thhe season starts, why would you have to right off 15 pts! Theres nothing to say we cant win some games with the current squad

 

[samwise_new]

We've done that in patches, certainly not for most of the game, every game. I was on the stand on the side at York and the amount of times I thought the midfield was passing to me in the first half was ridiculous, it was constantly come out sideways. Flanagan long balls still although not every time like he used to. The pressing game was non-existent yet appeared in other games at times. There's no consistency in how we play across all the games.

i rarely do this, but if you cannot see the difference between the past couple of seasons and the way we have been playing in the pre-season games then you cannot have watched the team much.

while i have to agree it is not a '90 minute constant' and i don't think anyone has tried to claim that it is, there is a definite change to a more forward passing game...no one that i know of will have 90 minutes of high press, it just does not work, players will have maybe a lead player and he will decide when to press and others will follow but you will not see this across a full game.

as with all else at the club right now, it will be a steady progress which should become clearer when we get the right players in, which will hopefully be very soon...you also need to take into account the amount of changes being made in pre-season (complete team in one game at half time) and the mix of probably three different groups (1st team, U23's and even some younger players) and i don't think they have done too bad.

Nothing to do with our transfers but another example of why/how a transfer doesn't happen (I know it Nixon but.....). Loads of things must be discussed behind the scenes...

You must log in or register to see media

Totally agree, I was really encouraged by the way we're playing and how a real style is developing.

Even better, the players seem to be enjoying it.

We bought a brand new house in June 1999 and did a lot of work to it (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and garden) over the years and loved it. However, because of my wife's health, where she started to struggle with the stairs, we moved to a bungalow only a mile away, in June last year and has been worth every bit of stress that moving brings. My son, who has his own landscape business, finished our garden last month so we will not be going anywhere again.
