hes got about 3 weeks if he dosent get finger out therl be no partying like its 1999.. hel be on the dole..Nah, sounds as though they have a plan which we haven't had since 1999
It will just be silly wages some will want to signHe speaks sense but at the same time it isn't acceptable that we are heading into the first league game without a recognised fullback on either side.
There has to be a balance between value for money and absolutely shafting yourself from the start. We aren't talking millions needing to be spent, but we should have invested before now and brought some fullbacks in.
think that's what he was basically saying, so no full backs till the season is underway.If it's a choice between shite now or better later then I'd prefer we wait.
To offer a possible explanation, they have faith in Dan Neil and feel that, should he get one of those niggles, he can step up?Well if we go off data, hoe come we signed Evans? Good player at this level but always has niggles.![]()
It's far from ideal I agree, but my point was it won't weaken us significantly.Pre-season is generally an unreliable judge of a sides potential.
Speakman can dress it up however he likes, having no fullbacks at all five days before the season starts is shocking for a professional club.
"Always has niggles" he fractured his skull and shattered his eye socket after getting kicked in the face then fractured his big toe when he got back so he was out for longer. Hardly niggles are they.Well if we go off data, hoe come we signed Evans? Good player at this level but always has niggles.![]()
Unsurprisingly speaks well, has done every time since he joined. Actions is where he will be judged though, as others have said having no full backs at all at this stage is pathetic. Will wait until the end of the window before judging but he really needs to get it right next 3 weeks.
Echo articles are always "exclusives" because the only person that can read them was the journalist who wrote the original on MS Word. Once on the site they're lost to the world
I've stopped clicking, even when it does load it lectures me that they've been proving quality news since the 13th century, I only have 1 free article left and would I like to give them my bank detailsTo get quality you need to be willing to spend the cash/wages...we obviously aren't brining in the players we want as we can't match their valuation or afford their wages, whether that's due to the salary restrictions, who knows.

The only thing worse is whichever "publication" is reporting whatever Kevin "rent-a-gobshite" Phillips is spouting for cash this week.I've stopped clicking, even when it does load it lectures me that they've been proving quality news since the 13th century, I only have 1 free article left and would I like to give them my bank details
Problem is, a lot of our supporters have a belief that you HAVE to get all of your transfers done before the first game and few give a shit about whether the player has a 1, 2 or 3 year contract. Its only when we are lumbered with poor players a year down the line that they are then bothered (and then its of course used to beat someone with a stick about making a rushed and stupid decision).In all seriousness its absolutely the right approach. I'd much prefer to see us play our youngsters, develop slowly but fail to go up this year rather than sign a bunch of has beens or league one journeymen on big contracts that might get us up but also leave us hamstrung next year and come back down (appreciate its not necessarily and either/or situation). Our problem for years has been short term thinking and panic buys. Lets make the right decisions not the quick ones.
