The narrative that he was signed to cover injuries is a bit weird given that he was injured when we signed him and wasn't really fit until the next transfer window opened.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 9:49 amBut those posters knew before we signed them, that we wouldn't have the injuries...

You're right Turtle. Massive success and a snip at 5 million.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:00 amI know, if only we had successful signings in the squad. Why can't we be like the other 19 clubs in the division who have a squad where everyone makes a contribution, especially those who sign for 5m. I mean not one club will have a player who has cost more than that, be paid more than he is and not featured.

Re: Nixon
No way can this be described as a success. If we break even (big if taking into account all our costs) then that will be exactly all we will have done.

Re: Nixon
Doubt you will find anybody who thinks it was a success, but some need something to bitch about constantly and make it that it was the most expensive flop in football when in relative terms a 5m fee and no doubt one of the lowest earners in the squad isn't that much.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:28 amNo way can this be described as a success.

If people are childish enough to focus on signings that don't work and ignore the ones that do then that says a lot more about them.

One in, three out? The bean counters would love you!Dark Cloud wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 9:06 pmIf we're dealing with Bristol Titty and they're actually serious about it, then we should be looking at that guy Elliason as well as Brownhill. IMO he COULD be the next JBG and that would allow us to let Lennon move on in the summer, probably Brady too and possibly even, (sadly) injury jinxed JBG himself.

Not a problem at all if the beans are past their "use by date"
