Speakman’s transfer strategy backfired already

I can’t just name names man ffs. I am not employed by a football club, I don’t have connections or anyone I can ask who is available.

I do however have a job where if I need something I have contacts I can call to ask for things. At what point do we as fans, know or hear names when people are available, if doesn’t work like that.

If I look throughout the whole of England and look at every single player who has gone from club to club, I’d be lucky if I knew 1% of them were available prior to there transfer.

Do you honestly look when we sign someone and in your evident crystal ball, think “yeah knew they were available”. It’s not my job is not a cop out it’s a stone hard fact, I and nobody else works in football or for the club, so there is absolutely no reason why I or anybody should be able to name names.

Now how about you answer my questions now I’ve answered yours.

I’ll tell you who can name names, surely.

The people we literally employ to have a list of suitable names to hand. Those who literally do that for a living.

What the fuck were they doing last week?

Same as they were doing last year, when we were absolutely desperate for a cb, being told speakman knows best and being told we need to be “sustainable” aka we are tight and we’ll do it his way.

Long few months ahead, when a couple more injuries/suspensions land and reality bites. We’re not supposed to talk about it though. It’s all data-driven candy floss clouds these days.
 
I think you're missing the point tbh mate. We'd still be massively weakened even with a 3rd choice striker. We aren't going to be able to replace Ross Stewart. A change of formation is needed
the point I think people are missing is that the 3rd striker we would attracted would have been about the level of Dajaku, Roberts etc - poor.

Anyhoo, I think Sims was signed as back up and we got got lucky with the 2 up top. We haven't played 2 up top for years

Not at all….I understand we’d struggle to sign someone the level of Stewart (however you never know, when we signed him nobody expected him to be as good as he is).

The issue is that we play with 2 up front. We have 2 senior strikers at the club. A last minute injury tonight has thrown our entire game plan (everything we’ve worked on for 3 or 4 days were Mowbray’s words) simply because we don’t have another striker at the club.

I’m not saying to just chuck anyone in, and I’m not expecting any signing to offer us exactly what Stewart does, however it’s poor that we have 2 senior strikers at the club.

The manager wanted to play with 2 strikers tonight - he was unable to because the recruitment team have let him down.
 
I’d prefer to chance a man Utd lad costing 25m tbf
How much did Stewart cost? Its not about money Its about the player, Diallo might be brilliant and the answer to our prayers I really hope he is, but I hope someone we actually own gets a chance as well, better to at least try to develop our own players instead of someone else's.
 
Think we are doing better than what I had hoped... Before he got involved it was really depressing
 
Of course it has and it was always going to cos he talks absolute shite. I said last thursday we were a couple of injuries away from disaster yet people went over the top on the u23 players on the pitch at half time its absolutely criminal that a team that just manged to get out of league 1 has not been strengthened with proven experienced players. We are fooked while speakman has a job at club and we have an owner who hides behind a sustainability model because he wont/cant spend any money.

Have a day off mate, we’ve actually spent quite a bit
 
Shrug. Ask a question worth answering, and 'll think about it

You really think your something special don’t you?

Explain how it wasn’t a valid question? You asked me and others to name names, we have given you a fair response.

I and others have made the point about Ross signing when Wyke was banging them in. No comment on that?

What about goalkeeper signing when we have a good keeper? Or players signing in other posistions as backup? No none of that at your leave your majesty?
