Yearly Bedwetting thread

Can we at least agree that if Yirenkyi joins, it's clear we are having a proper go and that the meme of King and co. bring naive, trying to do it on the cheap etc. is demonstrably b*ll*cks?
I thought we’d all agreed on that anyway? Only the very unreasonable dispute it
 
Not happening is it? We’ve set a wage cap at almost half the average wage of the division and King has been bollocksing on about how we don’t need to spend since the second we got promoted. He clearly thinks he can do it on the cheap. And maybe with a scouting network that doesn’t think data is the guy from Star Trek we could but not with someone who’s entire process is looking in his mobile and checking the Championship teams’ PotS award listings.

Hope I look stupid and we sign a load in the next fortnight who look the part and stay up but right now all the evidence points the other way and “wait and see” is looking more delusional by the minute.
Looking very stupid!

Can we all just chill for a sec?

Is this exciting? Yes. Is it a phenomenal signing? Yes. Does he keep us up on his own? No

The signings so far have been very good, no disputing. But we are still glaringly short at Left back, striker, and 1 injury away from playing Kitching or Lati in the premier league.

Its looking better of course, but we absolutely must get a left back and striker in of similar quality, only then will I and the other 'bedwetters" feel we will be ok

I'm already pricing up a top 4 finish 2bh - 80/1 is crap odds.
 
Isn't that the point? a lot of us have been chilled because those running the club have done a good job up to this point and deserve some trust and patience.

I agree. But theres a lot of 'uuuuhhhhh look at this signing fuck you bedwetting haha'. Which i dont feel is warranted yet. Add the LB and ST and ideally another CB and il be writing an apology thread
 
Also a lot of people here who were not so long ago claiming expecting money to be spent was a sign of ridiculous and spoilt expectations now running around claiming victory because we’re spending money?

that £40m transfer budget is looking a bit suspect now..

Not so much yourself, but there are posters who are terminally on the forum who have spouted a huge amount of unfounded bollocks in the past couple of weeks. Definitely warrants being called out. Fickle idiots.

Are you joking? Clearly aimed at me but Saddle has been one of the most negative on the forum and he will admit that.

Dont ksis his arse cus hes calling you out

Exactly, none of has a clue what's really going on, so I'm happy to wait and moan at the end of the window if necessary, because no amount of moaning before then will make a scrap of difference.

Yeah it is aimed at you and a couple of others. He is negative, but there is just less of it.

Do you think Doug is going to spend £100m+ and not buy a left back?

Id like to think not. But we also sold our captain the day before deadline day last summer and didnt replace him which almost bit us in the arse when the illness kicked in in December Jan until Onyekas arrival

My personal opinion is we drop another 15/20 million on a striker and a left back

We then use the loan market for another CB. Bring Hamer in for 6 or 7 million, but that money will be mostly made of outgoings i feel

If anything the sale of sheaf shows how good the club’s judgement is. We got a great fee and still went on to win the league.
 
Remember when people questioned that and the usual suspects in here were all “of course we’ve got signings lined up, he obviously doesn’t mean what he says”?
Cracking Up Lol GIF
 
You were negative all last summer
Not sure that's entirely true, from scanning I can find one comment that said it was a dissatisfying summer window if we didn't get the players in. Arguably right with Sheaf leaving and no one replacing him, but rectified in January.

Last season is quite a substantial piece of evidence for why we should all give King and Austin the trust they have earned. Not just continually insinuate King is tight, or they're naive and think the existing team is fine.

That sale happened to be quite vital in the end as it allowed us to have the funds to sign the players in January that got us over the line. Without selling Sheaf we may not have been able to afford Onyeka's / Esse's wages, any loan fees, etc.

Always was. 😁
 
It’s looking like the window some predicted is playing out. 3-4 significant signings on top of Onyeka and Rushworth. I think we’ll sign a good left back to go with Tchouana, Amenda and Yirenkyi. CovValleyBoy and I have been saying it for a while.

175/1 on Paddy Power currently.

Odd one. On Paddy Power, we're currently 175/1 for a top 4 finish, but only 150/1 for a top 2 finish! Work that out!
