Let's be honest, unless we got very, very lucky we could never sign a 20-goal a season striker. You have to average one in two and play all 38 games.

And depending on the contract they are on cost minimum 30-50 million and are on 100k plus a week......

Ziggy Stardust

Get the feeling the same people who thought Gyokeres wasn't good enough for us think Sargent isn't either? Pretty sick of hearing we need a twenty goals a season striker! We are so far down the Q for that player is not funny. We need basically need a Wood type signing who will grow into that player ...

Ziggy Stardust

No chance we are getting 40m for Trafford. Think they will take 30m plus a few add ons. We need to offset these new signings with some incoming cash. Possibly need to offload Amdouni as well. Don't know how the finances are at the moment but I don't think we are flush with cash. I think at least 50m...

Where's the "All is Dross" guy

I

Ziggy Stardust

Probably a similar team to the one that's unbeaten in 21 league games. Lose one and people are after changing formation. Players who haven't played for weeks getting wrote off on one performance.

Some absolute nonce's on here.

Ziggy Stardust

Some Saturday 3pm kick offs might help. Last one was 21st December. Next one 8th March.

11 weeks. If we go up at least we guarantee more Sat 3pm KO's.

Cos it's been thoroughly enjoyable so far... 0-0

Didn't mention names but your at the top of the list.

Ziggy Stardust

Thanks all. I only log on for the transfer windows as this place is pretty awful these days (coming from early clretsmad days). I suggest some of you step away from the keyboard/phone and go for a walk and chill out.

Anyway, let's enjoy the rest of the season. UTC.

Ziggy Stardust

And to think we were getting relegated a week before the last transfer window shut.

Ziggy Stardust

Just wondering what level of opponent is acceptable for a boring 0-0 at home?

Think some shoelaces need removing tonight......

Ziggy Stardust

Think the plan was to send him out on loan this year. The massive squad turn over seems to have stopped that. Would think he will go out somewhere on loan for the rest of the season.

Ziggy Stardust

Three quality broadcasters.

Ziggy Stardust

A lot of people clamouring for a striker. Would Gyokeres be good enough for us now? Seem to remember plenty of the football experts on here saying he wasn't good enough for us.....

Although some did see his potential.

Ziggy Stardust

Allows Hontondji out on loan and he can be a useful impact sub when needed. Think the dressing room is fine but he will only add to it.

Ziggy Stardust

I assume the people complaining are the same sages that had us going down a week before the window shut. Now we are second this is their new complaint. Some of VK's early games were poor and a bit boring. Not saying we are going to get to them levels but I think we would of took this after the Sunde...

Ziggy Stardust

What an over privileged bunch we have become....

Ziggy Stardust

Perhaps we should just get behind the team that's fifth in the league after 3 games.

Ziggy Stardust

Does the loan window slam shut Friday as well?

Ziggy Stardust

We still have a squad of 26 over 21 and three under 21 with apparently some more to leave and if there are 3 incomings that may push us up to 28 over 21 and 4 under 21-so we still need to trim the squad unless Byer, Ekdal, Redmond and Ramsay are out until January. Now i know we are expecting Amdoun...

With all due respect, Ziggy, wanting out doesn't mean the player is sulking. This implies inside knowledge of the player's personality.

That's fair. I just assumed he would be sulking if he didn't get his move. Perhaps this just modern football these days and we are all dinosaurs?

Ziggy Stardust

Well to be honest with this particular player I would be quite relieved (if I’m wrong about him I’ll hold my hands up in a few months time). I realise that loans are not free, but selling players - fan favourites like Zaroury - and then loaning other teams players for large fees does not feel great...

Ziggy Stardust

Well those two things are connected, aren’t they? So we’re selling Zaroury, for example, for £7m but spending £2m of it loaning a player for a season. Are you happy with that? Yes, that's how loans work, they're not free. Do you think we haven't pulled enough money in the last 2 weeks to pay for th...

Ziggy Stardust

Yeah, realise that, but in the alternative scenario it’s a lot of money to commit for a single year when we are used to buying players for similar fees last time we were in the Championship (Pires c.£2m too). Your not happy with all the players leaving. Now your moaning about 2m for loan when were ...

Ziggy Stardust

Exciting isn't it. Beats the Dale Stephens window quite comfortably.

Cheers! Plenty of quality to go at there.

Surprised we haven't seen the free agent list posted yet...

Five years ?

Don't forget Isle of Man!! Think the main point is people not happy with us going for warm weather training on the account of what happened two/three weeks later. Pretty much every top team does it now and has been doing it for a while.

So you have to go to Spain to get fit , thinking that is more telling

We've been doing it for years.

Ziggy Stardust

Very very true. Total waste of time. Perhaps you can let us know next time before this all happens again, two weeks before it happens. The club has to get the players fit regardless of whose coming and going pre-season. It the basics for every club that ever existed. The fact you can't recognise th...

According to reports our signing from Montpellier has stalled .If true very poor as we have had since 1st January to recruit You're assuming it's our fault? It could be anything but your first conclusion is its at our end. Could be absolutely anything if true but it's our fault. I suppose it fits y...

Ziggy Stardust

Ever get the feeling your reading the same thread over and over and over again.....

Ziggy Stardust

2 (possible relegations) and 1 promotion in 3 years is always going to lead to a higher turn over of players. Hopefully staying up would mean we would just need some targeted signing in certain positions and a more settled squad.

Ziggy Stardust

No wonder he's been looking "tired".

Ziggy Stardust

Always dismissed the Pet Shop Boys as a bit of a throwaway 80's tacky electro pop band. That was until I heard this amazing song which could quite easily have been written by a band like The Beatles or The Beach Boys and plain old Neil Tennant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCHSkXFB46g&ab_channel=...

Perhaps Solid State batteries can be the game changer. As always depends on the price but the distance and charge times look good.

Ziggy Stardust

Any rational human being would be able to string a couple of sentences together to comment on Elukos inadequacys as a pundit. This is not a free speech issue or about left and right. It's about common decency and Barton obviously doesn't have any, if he ever had. The guy is a bellend and if you can'...

We’ve wasted some money in the last 18 months. Like VKs team selection, his transfers are a lucky dip too.

VK walked in the door with about 8 first team players left. Think Twine might of played more if he wasn't injured early doors and we didn't get the numbers we eventually got in.

Ziggy Stardust

Strange how league position affects people's perspective . If we were on 20 points he wouldn't of even been mentioned and yet people think he could improve our team. The mind boggles.

Ziggy Stardust

Perhaps he's sick of looking at the bench after 70 minutes and seeing nothing really to throw on up top. Think he will start on the bench at City. Can't see us starting with two nine's over there.

Ziggy Stardust

Great signing. Obviously not liking Jay off the bench so will give us more options up front.

Ziggy Stardust

Boey now linked with PSG so pretty sure he's now out of our reach (if he ever was within our reach in the first place). Quite a few 'sliding doors' transfer sags over the summer window - players we were heavily linked with and some would believe very close to signing and perhaps these players would...

Ziggy Stardust

Two players in centre midfield who need some game time. One was our player of the year last season.

Ziggy Stardust

Looks like we have some of the better US owners around. Thank god they are not at our club. They unveiled him promising no fear attacking football and he plainly didn't have the players for that. Eustace knew this and got the best out of what he had. Whatever you think of Rooney as a manager that wa...

Ziggy Stardust

Just from what I have seen. It’s the same why I was saying last season that Foster will be good in the prem (even though his championship was poor). Benson has all the attributes to be successful in the prem. like I said the negative side of me thinks the likes of Koleosho and Odobert are playing b...

Ziggy Stardust

We can't afford to carry Benson in this league as he doesn't defend. Has he completed 90 minutes for us yet? All this model talk is ********. Every player has a price, if its met then generally they leave. We have plenty of wingers as many have pointed out. Just the usual suspects having a meltdown ...
