hypochondriac

I said the best chance possible. IMO the best chance possible is not going into the season with 2 usable CBs with question marks over both about their Premiership quality.

And as I said, fair play to them if they actually do play what they can afford. If they lose every week at least they can say it was all legal and above board. You just know they will moan about being competitive though...

MArk Mudie. Total and utter thicko (well that's how he comes across on messageboards and the radio.) Completely misinformed.

And personally I will applaud them for finally living within their means and taking their medicine. You know they will eventually sign a load of decent league one players though...

Apparently...

Historically, plenty of clubs have signed a player in a position they are in desperate need of earlier in the window than we now will. Often that has been successful.

Not rush no but we could easily have got at least one CB in by now to give us the best chance possible for the sart of the season. It isn't much to ask and clearly Adkins is disappointed that we haven't got someone earlier, probably for this exact reason.

I'd rather give ourselves the best chance possible to nick a surprise result and also minimise our chances of getting hammered for the sake of morale. Want I don't want us to do is say "we will lose" to every big team and throw in the towel before we have played. That has never been the saints way.

Worse attitude than Puncheon. No thanks.

Yeah they are pretty much blameless in all this. Should be a good lesson for other youngsters to avoid Portsmouth though!

Why?

My real worry is having a rubbish start to the season that could prove costly come the end of the season. Even getting a CB in now will harm our early season chances as he settles in and gets an understanding with the players around him.

I really hope you are right. Lots of my very positive friends reckon we will probably get relegated now so I'm not the only one! Really really need some signings...

When MLG is involved then yes I do. Also with Alpine the other day which was ridiculous yet I get a PM from you all the same accusing me of dragging the RIP Markus thread off topic when I had done no such thing. I'll leave it now but you really are a terrible mod.

Another excellent choice. In fact most have been alright, even saint clark is OK.

Seeing as you don't seem to mind, yes it was you I was referring to. Again you show your bias just because you disagree with what I say. You can't wait to dish out infractions for any number of things. Unlike the old mods who actually thought before they hit the infract button. Mindless.

If MLG is made a mod then I'm leaving the forum...

I like you Steve. Just the one mod who can't use their common sense. Bring back Pancake, Minty, DSM and Bexy. Do you think it is possible to "bully" and internet persona?

Excellent mod, despicable person.

Just seen this and no I don't want to be a mod. I support anyone who doesn't issue warnings for "bullying" or issue infractions for posting corp ho's real name ffs

Looks like you didn't have to get so indignant on their behalf after all...

Sick to death of getting linked with players and not signing anyone. If we don't a cb in before Sunday then I don't think Adkins will be happy.

I know there are some weird masons on here. Aren't they linked to that?

1.4K is the average wage in league one. They can still get a team together with their budget. OK they can't have the Brian Howards like the top teams in the division can but they should have been living on a low league one budget for a while now. Given half a chance they would still be looking for a top wage budget for league one. Scandalous again but not surprising.

What a shame they didn't have more like the ending which was a triumph.
