No, I said we have the best first XI in the league. Four of them are unlikely to be available on Saturday when we kick off the season.

Yep, I am wary too. As Dalek says, I see only a long, hard slog ahead of us.

We'll see on Saturday wont we ? Actions will speak louder than words.

Ok, it was me too, the point I was trying to make is that even AP indicated the importantce of a settled squad and a good start.

Why are we looking for a clone of Morgan, FFS ? There are other players who can do a job.

No, maybe it simply isnt as trivial as Kraken makes out.

This squad, which at the end of last season was stronger than it is now, had trouble breaking down teams of hod-carriers that parked the bus. We have a lot of evenings and afternoons of that coming this season.

Bit of an exaggeration, but even if it were not, it wasnt me making noises about sorting things out early and hitting the ground running...

So, You see no need for more CM options ? You think Connolly will stay fit ? You think the Antonio situation is easily solved that you can dismiss it so easily ? Why hasnt AP done it then ?

"Hey everyone, look at meeee!!" Really, I never understood why some people have such a low pain threshold where the written word and opinion is concerned. But whatever floats your boat...

So we can we close this dreamland of a thread now ?

28 days of the window remaining, well over two months since the season ended. Can we start panicking yet ?

Yep. I was won round to his value by the end of the season. That red card against Yeovil cost us.

I would be quite happy for this kit to stick around for a few years (I know it would be a comercial disaster to do so..) It looks sh*t-hot with a decent pair of Bermudas or with jeans - it doesnt look like a beer-bellied football shirt staggering out of sh*t-hole bars in Faliraki, Malia or San Antonio, unlike the stripes.

Fat chance, mate. Sadly. Yes thje club has made a tidy sum from the shirt sales, but still probably less than a sponsorship deal.

Thankyou for that, he was trying to make out this was me alone, I think.

So obvious the club didnt order enough.

As far as I am concerned, he has done exactly that. He's made, what, 2 statements in the entire time he has been here. He is perfectly entitled to have doubts about the manager he appointed if the said manager isnt achieving his targets.

Me and the others on the thread that agree, as you well know.

I think you have it there. Wonder if deep down he's come to regret it seeing as we aint getting Antonio ?

Crap analogy - I could go to Comet.

Enough of the childish hysteria. My backside doesnt come into it - they didnt produce enough.

Nope, we're criticizing the club for not producing enough of them.

Oh dear, someone's not a James Brown fan, obviously...

I have the ability to fart a lot without producing a turd. Doesnt mean we will sign what we need.
