It's my fear aswell. Or we end up panicking and signing one or two, whose best days are behind them, on 4 year deals for silly money. We have form! This club is so badly run,it could happen.

Quite possible as well... these "signings we have in the queue as soon as other players are off..." If we don't get them off until last day of the window, whomever our #1 replacements targets are will likely have gone elsewhere as well, and we'll be on to options C, D or worse.

When you're still standing at musical chairs when the music stops, you get what you deserve.

Again, hope I'm wrong, but it's how we end up with useless players on the books like Matthews...

We'd be better served signing no one and promoting some of the under23's... at least if they aren't good enough, they're already here and there's no cash outlay or an additional useless saddlebag we're stuck with for years.

Talk is cheap.
I'm sure they want to play for us, I just hope they can play a little bit. Mind, his signing so far don't fill me with huge amounts of confidence.
 
Damned if you do, damned if you don't, there's just no pleasing some folk.

Given the constraints we know for a fact he's working under, it really seems like some won't be happy with Grayson until he pleases them personally.
 
It's ok for him to keep saying he wants players who want to play for the club... he needs to bring in good players not shite

I want to play for the club but it doesn't men I'm any good

I'm f***ing mustard by the way

Are you feck man.
U cudnt tackle a rice pudding is wot I heard;)

Matthews was bought as a prospect not an afterthought or plan b. So you are wrong.
Every single player Keane, Bruce, MoN, Moyes and sick bought were players they wanted not players they had to make do with.
Of course we would all like to see messi etc in a safc shirt surprise surprise.
This repeated effort of shifting the blame from crap managers to short is bewildering.
His problem was believing the managers he doled money out to were competent. They clearly were not.
 
Dunno what some of our fans expect with the budget we have.

With the fees we are paying for players I would say he's doing a good job tbh. We are hardly going to do much better than what we have IMO.

Quality even in this league doesn't come cheap nowadays. Good championship players can easily cost 10m+ now which is unfortunately something we can't afford ATM.

Until Ellis Short gives Grayson some decent funds as opposed to the relative pennies he has then you can't really fault him too much.
