It's not his opinion dont forget it's everyone elses.

Damned if he does damned if he doen't. As we have made bids Alpine can say that we need to improve, strenghten etc and the management agree, if we haven't made bids he can moan that the club are not backing up their statements about needing promtion by cash etc, either way he cant lose. I find it hilarious that someone can be so aggresive and arrogant about something they know absolutely nothing about other than cherry picking other peoples opinons and passing them off as his own, it's brilliant. The funniest thing of all is that despite all his "we need to strengthen" mantra, he has failed to name a single player who he thinks would fit the bill. I think that tells us all we need to know about his football knowledge.

This is probably the greatest least self aware post i have ever seen. On this thread alone you have constantly ignored my questions to you then you pick one part of one sentance, ignoring everything else and the questions i have put to you all through this thread and accuse me of changing the subject. We all know your well documented views on strengthening, we've heard them enough, so come on, who and where? Come up with something tangable instead of "we need to strengthen" Surely you've read enough internet posts to form an opinon on that as well. Your chubby little fingers have been angrily tapping away all day today haven't they my chunky friend, maybe if you spent less time in front of your computer and went out for a walk in those mountains the club might have in stock a replica shirt that fits you.

Here we go again, Alps copies one line from the paragraph, fails to answer any of the other questions and uses the "i didn't say exactly those words" line. Your usual kop out. Okay, lets play it another way, given the feedback on here and in the echo now, do you think without any new signings, we will or wont get promotion? You've also failed to answer my question on who you think we should sign. A Come on tell us.

"mental" as you would put it. Fine to have an opinion, the guy in Sweden makes some valid points, but he doens't accuse everyone of talking b*llocks that doesn't agree with him. So given the feedback on this forum that 90% of people on this thread who go to games and see things themselve all agree a couple of class players at this level are nice to haves rather than desperately important, also what Adkins has said in terms of the players he is looking for, do you still maintain with the view of the small, tiny minority, that unless we sign loads of cover players by the end of January we can write promtion off? here is some more feedback from the echo by the way. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/8780243.Adkins_has_plenty_in_reserve/

It is and we do! Bloody hell we've got squad players out on loan at Championship clubs! The point about Arsenal, Barcelona etc is taht every team has a few key players, Chelsea are no where near as good without Lampard and Drogba, we dont need poorer quality squad players and fillers in case of injury, we need a squad of 20-25 good players and getting good players to join a league one club knowing they are not the star man or might not even get a start is not that easy. Players we will be interested will also be interesting championship sides.

Lets not be overconfident, Oldham are very good at home. Anyone expecting us to go there and win them easily is going to be in for a shock. Games like this are a battle and any over confidence will be knocked out of us. I hope we win and man for man we should do but given they have only lost once at home all season i would take a draw.

Maybe Hammond instead of Schniderlin, he played well at Dagenham and Oldhams pitch is similar, he is better suited to this than MS. Isn't it nice to have a squad strong enough we have options all over the place.

/\ why does that past matter? We are L1 they are Premier league leaders, we have a 1% chance of winning. All i hope for is that we put in a performance and our fans dont embarass us with stupid wigs and facepaints and silly songs.

Because in a international series of matches which covers 25 days, saying England would lose 5-0 after the first day of the first match was as you would put it, err mental. I also seem to recall after our 4-1 win against Huddersfield you saying "we all know we will f*ck it up against Exeter and Dagenham & Redbridge". So the "alternative" view from you as you put it always seems to be completely and utterly negative. Anyway, back to the game, tough one, pitch is a bog apparantly and Oldham are a good side at home, i'd take a draw right now although like ever game Saints play in this league i would hope that we would have enough about us to win this one.

I's also have a look at Jordan Rhodes, 21 a good young striker with a good future ahead of him. Dont know much about ALF as only ever seen him on Football League show highlights and as we all know you cant form an opinion based on that, err i mean, yes we should sign him and Charlie Austin and anyone else that we can think of. FFS.

So come on Alps, how many players do we need? If you were manager, given we have 20 or so decent players how many more players would you sign and whom, money no object and assuming everyone we wanted to sign wanted to join us, realistic targets of course.

Isn't that the same as every club in the world? Look at Chelsea without Drogba and Lampard,Arsenal without Fabregas, would Barcelona be the same if Xavi and Messi were out injured? Every club has 2 or 3 key players, you can just keep signing players in case someone gets injured or suspend. Right now as proven on saturday we have 20 good players for this league and good enough to get us out of it, one or two extra players of quality wouldn't hurt but the constant "we need to strengthen" and just adding squad and cover players like some want is ridiculous. All you end up with is a huge wage bill and a bloated average squad full of unhappy, unmotivated players, just like our relegation season from the premier league.

It's nothing of the sort. I'm just keen to know how you can have such strong opinons on what we do and dont need and on players and teams performances when you've never actually seen them. I wouldn't call that a ****ing contest, more interested in you backing up your opinions and how you have come to form them, so please, in interest of the credibility of your opinions, indulge me.

Thanks. So you going to tell us what first hand evidence you have that our squad needs strengthening and also you assessment that Chaplow offers more to the team than Schniderlin, as per your post on the Schniderling thread?

Yeah you have got some.

I rest my case.

in my ideal window i'd like us to keep everything we have got inc Puncheon provided he wants to be here, sign up Gully and sign Charlie Austin, plus a winger if Puncheon wants out. If we dont get Austin no dramas, we are still good enough to go up as champions. We certainly dont need cover/squad players that are worse than we have got just to keep certain people happy.

And to the "Liverpool" singing, they responded with "who the f*ck do you support?" and all the mongs went silent. Should sing this when people sing "Play up Pompey" at us.

we dont need anymore defenders this season, what he have is plenty good enough for promotion thank you. We will need to look at it in the summer if promotion is achieved though.

Yeah, only a personality transplant could stop you being a bellend.

Good lad, i like a man who stands by what he says.

Please, no wigs, face paints, red & white balloons, jester hats, chants of "we support or local team" or "Liverpool" Lets be a normal club with normal fans and treat it like a normal game.

I presumed you wouldn't be going Jamie, as the FA Cup means nothing to you this season.

/\ there wont be a general sale, it'll be STH's first, then database.
