SeanO Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I haven't been on here since Saturday night. What have I missed then? Any hint of a new player? No but our ITK's didn't know about Bertram so maybe??????? People had said a defender was coming in the day before he arrived. LOL Ok 1 twitter guy said "signing tomorrow" how many times has this rubbish be said before? occasionally one has to guess right and people were throwing names like Scott Dann around. Not one ITK mentioned Bertrand (my bad for previous spelling of his name) which was my point, nothing has happened but might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaspg Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Even Hoolahan will make this side tick at home. He would play in El Ahmadi's spot and will just have a free role to create chaos. I think I'd rather wait until the summer to get a proper midfielder rather than buying a 30 year old Hoolahan now TBH. Agree, there will be better options available in the summer and i dont think were going to get dragged into the relegation fight, no point getting him just to end up at 11th place instead of 13th. Especially when moneys tight. Maybe if it was a loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather get an inexpensive and experienced creative player to help solve our immediate problems. He'll bring a lot to side and once we get rid of some higher earners then there is no reason why we can't invest more money in a creative midfielder in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are signed sealed and delivered anything can go wrong resulting in nothing interesting happening.It whips everyone up and when nothing happens results in more abuse towards the manager and club down to no fault of their own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can make it to the summer without hoolahan, yes theres a problem but i wouldnt call it immediate, we are able to make it with the players we got, and then in the summer we could sign 2 am's for squad depth. I dont really rate him and although he could probably do the job i dont want him on something silly like a there years contract when he would only be used for half a season. I wont be happy if he was on the pitch or the bench after the upcoming summer window. Save the money and aim higher. We wont go down this season, with or without him so to me it would be a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be a vague statement with the obligatory maybe/should/possibly/probably/hopefully inserted in as the escape clause, with the hope that when something happens credit can be claimed without actually making a definite claims about anything specific in the first place. Possibly. Maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
