It's a pipe dream mate, just a striker to maybe hold up play, give us an out ball and occasionally score a goal.
It's not a lot to ask?

It's not a lot to ask?
I can see through the smoke, I haven't forgotten the ineptitude of the recruitment last season, especially in the striker department and the sacking of a coach to cover up for this.you keep bleating on about there is still a month left of the transfer window, completely oblivious that the season starts in just over 8 days. We have been here in the last 3 transfer windows, failing to address the issues within our young inexperienced squad, spending what money we had on players nowhere near the standard required for the championship. The owner said that lessons have been learnt, really because there has been very little evidence to suggest that there has. So you stick to the insults and the clapping mate, keep accepting low standards and believing that things are about to change when all the evidence so far points to the complete opposite.

The very one yes
A crack of thunder there. You've done it now marra; just upset the Speakman Gods
Seems after 3 or 4 transfer windows and still no joy, it is a lot to ask.

We always spend on transfers
The 3 free transfers so far certainly backs that up
I mean decent money for a striker who’s kicked a ball in the net before and played a few games. Not our number 9 Hemir.

So what happens to this entire argument if Mendy comes in aswell as another forward. Will you give them praise or find something else?

Exactly this. It’s their fundamental job to ensure we have the best possible chance of results each season. They haven’t done that for some time
Was it ever on? Player may have accepted our proposal but we never come close to having a bid accepted

Any chance of that one posting something that isn't actively slagging off SAFC?
Praise for doing what, they should have been doing this when we sold Stewart ffs. It should be a basic requirement to improve the squad each season, plan for all eventualities including injuries so the new head coach has a squad to work with. Why do you think the majority of posters that have heard the same shit from Speakman over the past year are fed up with it, actions speak louder than words and again the club are failing to deliver a squad capable of challenging at the right end of the table. Most of us pay good money to watch us, I certainly don't want a repeat of last season where one of the main people responsible in Speakman comes out with that we will plod on with Dodds in charge.

Stewart was injured in Jan 2023. They signed 4 strikers the next summer. They got it wrong and failed. They then tried in a difficult Jan market and it didn’t come off (could have done better but that whole season was a shitshow)
Now it’s the summer and we will no doubt be trying and probably will imo get what we need. (I hope).
It’s been realistically just one big shit season last season I’m sure they should get a chance to rectify it from us. Or is that too much to ask?
Might I also add when we signed Stewart he had achieved fuck all, scored fuck all and was being played on the wing. We tried to replicate that and it didn’t work

Deals take time sometimes? If their main target is Mendy and we’ve seen it’s held up with the new investors wanting to talk to him and getting a fee agreed. Is it bad for us to stick it out trying to bring him in?
Excuses, excuses and more excuses but at least you admit they have failed miserably over the last 12 months, what have they done so far recruitment wise this summer to dispel any doubts that this season will be any different, especially when there is only 8 days until we play Cardiff.
