I agree. But to me we've made the best signing this window so far with Esse. Before his signing we had a very good 1st team and squad. We're nearly back at full strength with a side that took the p1ss for the 1st half of the season.

We're in a much better position than some people on here would like you to believe. Nearly half a point per remaining game above Ipswich and Middlesborough are not as good as their results suggest.
Completely agree & too many people on here just like throwing stones at Doug King because they have trust issues after SISU.

Tbh I thought we would have made a statement signing by now. Not saying the loans we have got in are bad signings as we defo needed depth, just saying this is the biggest opportunity to achieve prem football since 2001 and that hasn’t really been reflected in terms of the transfer activity.
But does it need to be? We’re clear at the top of the league and we’ve got almost our complete squad fit. We were never going to spend like Ipswich, Wrexham or Birmingham. I’d rather be us than them

Yes someone is materially more successful than they are and is doing something they would love to do … their response is to find silly ways to suggest they are not all that … Bling, he lacks ambition, he split robins and Adi up, etc etc etc …. If he doesn’t sign X then he’s failing ….. it’s all coping mechanisms for jealousy

People wanting one or two more over the line but having a feeling it’s not gonna happen is jealousy?

Isn’t that a bit like me wanting Cadbury’s to bring back their Spiral bar, but being jealous of them because they won’t?

It’s like being accused of being jealous of Willy Wonka having a chocolate factory at home but he won’t bring you an everlasting gob stopper when you meet him down the pub for a pint

Utterly ridiculous.

There are much more important, more delicious bars than the Spiral, that have been lost forever and would have made a much better analogy.

I’m sure they’re working on a few and they’ll get one in.

I just don’t agree with people acting like if we don’t it’s ok because a stadium was purchased when we’ll never have this good an opportunity again.
Exactly this. Agree with all your points made

You’ve stumped me with that one mate! Could be an age thing
5,4,3,2,1? Well it goes like this.... you used to get a 5 inch chocolate bar for 1quid. Then it became 4 inch for 2, then 3 inch for 3quid and so on and so on. Now, it costs 5quid for a 1 inch freddo. Shrinkflation at its finest! Now thats something to be jealous about! Im not jealous of Doug, im jealous of old me that used to get a proper sized mars bar for 50p. Not a fun size one for £1.20!

I got a box of freddos and I bring 3 to the football to eat at HT. Not all for me! I noticed they said 39p on them. Miraculously I didn’t fall down the stairs in shock, I have an aisle seat.

Twin bar, but it was spiral shaped. Like a fancy twirl I suppose.
