That is exactly how I feel. Establish yourselves and then try the grand youth experiment with the kids.

TBH may not.

I very much doubt he paid for all of his seats in corporate last year. I didn't because the times I was in there were comp tickets from an ex player.

Not really. He was at nmerous games last year. He is just a fan and wants to go to games the same as anyone else. There is no 'olive branch' involved.

I totally get where you are coming from. I just couldn't be bothered to respond earlier because as you said, it's all been said before.

He was in a box on numerous occasions last season anyway.

It's a lot more of a risk. It's obviously a risk no matter what you do but I thought that you could have worked out what we were saying.

I totally agree. We need to have a base to work from. If we get relegated next year then all of our good work will be undone and we won't be able to hold onto our youth and potentially great players for longer anyway.

Can't say I've ever noticed him before. Is that a good or bad thing?

Good point. I had forgotten that.

But definitely worse than Spurs and better than QPR. Of that we can be certain.

I think a mixture is about right. Signing all unproven players is a risk because we need to stay up this season

What player have we not been linked with that has subsequently signed for us? Either this year or last year? Doesn't happen, although many on here would like to think that our transfers are completely secret.

Possibly but then we did pay a lot for Jay Rod though you could argue that we haven't got a really high profile signing and tempted him to join like Lens for example yet. If we aren't prepared to pay the price for the likes of Lens then you would hope we have enough sense to move on and look for other targets who cost less. Our policy so far as far as I can see is to look for smaller clubs or clubs in less fortunate positions to ourselves because it makes negotiation much easier and we don't have to pay what the other clubs want. That works up to a point but we may have to bring in at least a couple of players where we maybe pay full whack because that could make the difference.

I don't think it's time to panic yet, but it would be a shame if we went down by a couple of points and we look back and think if only we had bought a more experienced keeper or a better quality CB (or got a CB in earlier.)

If I had to guess who would reply to my original post, I probably would have guessed the two who did. Maybe Jillsaint as well but she may be on later.

Tokyo-saint is another one to add to the sensible and what I would consider to be normal posters. It's a small list but well done Tokyo.

That doesn't actually answer any of the questions though does it...

I was in the home end!

Were Vitesse relegated then?

I could be a dodgy butcher for all you know.

I caught one

So a similar role to Schneiderlin? Don't think we need him really then.

And if that family pet also ate a load of smaller pets, and bit you and ten of your friends who now all had rabies.

Is he an attacking midfielder?
