Thats all fine until Rushworth gets injured then we have Wilson and kids. Whether we want it or not i doubt Lampard fancies that scenario no matter how bad Collins is. If Collins could find a buyer though thats a totally different scenario we should take of course
I'm not spinning anything.
No excuse for that now given that genuinely fans with too much time on their hands can basically come up with the ideas for them
He has driven himself down a blind alley and hasn't the honesty to admit he's made contradictory statements. All stems from the ridiculous cheap & cheaper list statement .
Theres quite clearly a middle ground that we haven't struck right with our targets. They seem far to out of our reach.
It's not personal Sparks but surely you must admit that there are contradictory statements made on here by yourself which you haven't yet accepted in any way.
What is contradictory about it?
At least wait until the window is officially shut before going to this conclusion.
OK we will see.
We could sign 3 first team players in the next week, nobody knows. Every team wants players signed by the start of the season but it isnt as easy as that. This is why we say wait til the window closes before having your meltdown.
We will see
Look back over the years. Each year we've had a high turnover of players the new signings have been called crap. We're finally in a situation where players can have a chance of settling in, watch how the present players prefer to play and feel a part of something good instead of being thrown in at the deep end.
Well it's a fair point because until then business can still be done. We aren't the only team in this league scrabbling around for centre backs either.
I mean you're using the term "first team" wrong then. You mean starting 11.
so you literally just want us to spunk some money on anyone lol
That's contradictory when you have stated yourself that the value of a player is what fee the club asks for him. In Hughes case £20M
The fee isn't important, but the bare minimum is a decent centre back. Ideally a wide attacking player also, over the moon if we can upgrade one of the strikers.
And if we do are you prepared to actually be positive for once?
I am positive. I predicted a win against Derby, I Complimented King on his business sense around ticketing prices. Just because I have been critical of our business this window doesn't mean I'm never positive. That seems like confirmation bias in your own head
League Cup games are first team games.
How about your ideas of what we should do instead of paying well over the odds or bringing in panic buys that are just not good enough.
Thank you. We had a real opportunity to push on this window and it just feels like we have been in cruise control.
Centre backs tend to be pretty robust, I think I'd be fine with the existing pairing, one of similar ability and Lati as the emergency cover. Everywhere else I really don't like relying on Sakamoto out on the right until January and I'm sure FL doesn't either, if we can sign someone able to play on both wings that's problem solved.
We were interested in him, as were Norwich, who knows who else was.
Oh of course, if we pass the deadline with the squad as is I'll be pretty disappointed and more to the point so will the manager. I will still hold fire on predictions of a relegation battle until at least then though.
Nobody is predicting a relegation battle, lets not be ridiculous
