hypochondriac

No they didn't. The vast vast majority were absolutely gutted to lose him. He was their player of the season. I think you were looking at the wrong forums or talking to the wrong people.

I don't know for certain but what I do know is that listening to both sets of fans and the fact that gorkss played the majority of games for a championship winning side he looks the better bet. Could be wrong of course but this is an initial reaction. I was extremely pleased with cork this window and have been proven correct and I was also underwhelmed by the seaborne transfer and was called an idiot by some despite history proving that ward was the errrr choice.

Why not do that but also form an initial opinion based on those who have seen him play week in week out for five years? Put it this way, I would be feeling a bit better about rejecting better players and going for this one if we had similar comments from fans like crystal palace with fonte or cork with burnley.

Getting Ward in would have meant there was no need to buy a CB now. It would have been the better deal and was clearly the way to go.

How sad for you.

All fair comments and thanks for the sensible reply. I suppose the frustration is that with the OC mooney in our pockets, we have the capability to really bring in proven quality and surprise a few (Maynard, Rodriguez) but instead it appears we are going down the promising youngster and potential route. Now there is nothing wrong with that but I would think that with our excellent start, that extra bit of proven quality might make the difference this year and propell us to promotion. Looking at it from that perspective, then getting in a big name but expensive striker would be worth it as the final piece of the jigsaw.

Erm no one has said this. You are inventing things in your head that you want to be true so you can have a moan. How sad.

Or I would possibly suggest not getting cms in when we had the chance (dependent on who we actually get this window of course).

Waghorn and Fontaine would be the underwhelming options for me and I'm not sure whether it improves what we have.

It may be a good move, but writing off every decision as 'Adkins knows what he is doing' is foolish. He isn't sone super being, he is human and can make mistakes like anyone else.

I would have preferred gorkss in all honesty. It's an odd signing and on the face of it looks like another seaborne signing but we shall see I suppose an I hope not!

Not really Tom. The contract will have a clause in allowing it to be null and void if he is found guilty. Should he be cleared then we have him on a nice long contract. It's a win win

It was posed as a question. It is potentially a mistake unless we have someone who wants to come here and who is better than gorkss. Fair play if we have managed to find someone. IMO we don't need potential in that position, we need proven experience for cb because mistakes can be so costly

We shall see but not encouraged at all by the Rumoured names. If we are turning down proven quality like gorkss then I hope it is worth it. We did the same with ward and seaborne and it was a decision we have regretted in all honesty.

Very disappointed. First mistake of the transfer window?

I have heard it is under new ownership now and whilst the portion sizes are still ridiculous (I still throw most of the chips away), the cod is smaller and a bit greasy compared to what it was like before. I could have just had a bad one though.

One of my favourite films. In fact, foreign language films and generally better than Hollywood crap. Watch the counterfeiter, that's a great film too.

Would much prefer him to anyone else we have been linked with so far.

St James chippy is good bang for your buck. Small portion of chips can normally feed at least three (and almost on my doorstep.)

You should know. Being an Arsenal supporter and everything.

Hmm. Not a great scoring record. Doesn't sound as good as other rumoured options.

From where?

Lol.

I see the dirty hoofers Brighton are also up there.

After your recent antics on the lounge that show you up as slightly head mental, I don't think you are in any position to talk about how you come across on the forum.
