Give it to Ron

No and I think that is the issue with several getting very tetchy on here - most agree we need about 4 to be as strong as last year ignoring the 2 or 3 that will step up. No sign of anyone decent arriving bar a few whispers that we should be patient - when you buy into this club patience is a virtue and tested to the endth degree.

So we are not linked with those players then? You are just inventing that we are only looking at pleyers from the Netherlands.....Koeman has been here 3 weeks - the club has signed 2 players he really wanted. We have a bid in for at least 4 others (Guan)I guess from what you and Charlie think they are all Dutch then.

So you are saying we dont have 20 scouts in different countries now just ones in the Netherlands because we have a Dutch manager.... Reed was lying nice one.

Does Koeman have multi nationality because in the last 2 weeks I have seen Greek, Iranian, Argentinian, English and Scottish still whatever floats your boat

The younger was was in the u14s last year - watched him a couple of times - decent bit lightweight but has promise.

Old Bagpuss did it from Sandbanks.....quite often saw him at Rownhams services

No it won't friendlies at this stage are all about fitness if you think the sides we put out at Swindon will have any bearing on the team against Liverpool then you are way off. Newcastle lost to Oldham....wow bet they are panicking....or not

Why does it bother you so much? Has our commercial revenue stopped us buying or selling anyone since Surman? I sometimes wonder what people can knock the club on next. All that matters surely is that the owners and manager are happy.

Good sup[port from Rimmington too - may have been too hasty last week :-)

They arrived just as Go West finished went into VIP. Didn't realise how big Boruc is until I stood next to him. Very friendly bunch.

He was walking pretty well yesterday at The Common with Clyne, Jos, Cork and Boruc who went into the eighties show. Stopped and had photos done and all seemed happy enough.

`

That was the worst bowling performance I have ever seen.....what on earth did we get that Rimmington for? If he is the best overseas we can get we should stick to home grown. Woods, Smith and even Danny were smashed all over only Coles offered anything in the end. Vince threw away his wicket again just as he got going and Carberry looks ruined by his England farce. I have to say thats the worst team I have seen in many years - we just havent replaced Cork, Dimi, Razak, Afridid or Tahir and until we do we will struggle....rubbish

Redmond and horses mouth about Pelle on the OS

ooops...meant Argies....

That is the way it should be and will be - expect Harrison Reed to be the Morgan fill in behind Cork, Wanyama, Davis, JWP - Wanyama Cork Partnership was good when Morgan was missing last year. Isgrove tosetp up a bit and Jake Sinclair/Rowe on the bench. Think Alpine is spot on with the rest - 2 forwards - Pelle/Ings wide man Redmond LB Blind/Robertson GK Ruddy

Daley Blind?? had a cracker against Germany the other night

From the few games I have seen of him (4 or 5) I would say as a centre half - never - but as a marauding defensive midfielder in the Championship possibly.

That Pilchards who used to post on here - his tree climbing exploits were comical. Nice guy met him a few times in the old days when you could watch Ressie games.

Only touchy when I don't agree, how is getting that much amateurish you ignored that. The season doesn't start tomorrow and we have a small window left to get them in. Agreed we haven't signed anyone yet but how does that mean we have banked the money? We will see by Friday as that's first press conference.

Where on earth have I said about how much money in the bank? If we had let them go for peanuts it would have signalled they were amateurish. Did the board recruit a nobody or someone with a bit of a pedigree?

Really?? We got 50+m in for 2 players very amateurish

Sorry a team that had 5 England captains was so much better. Keegan era was best team I have seen. Last years saw some great football though

Yes it is a discussion board not a trolling board how you get away with it for so long beats me that's my opinion. You are not a tedious cnt they are useful whereas you are just a troll who thinks posting the same sh1te for years is fun. Are you really a teacher?

So what exactly are you doing then apart from trolling this me ssage board like you have done for years? When is the march?
