Woodytom Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 This club is so pathetic. It'd only get more pathetic if there was reports that randy was thinking of hiring his teenage son. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just had a thought. This transfer window has been bad. But think how bad the next one is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post penguin Posted January 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2016 The squad needs new life and added depth, especially up-front. Yes we may not be able to attract the best players but it's not as if we are in league 1, even knowing we'll be in the championship next season players from other smaller leagues will be excited for the chance to get a foothold in the English game. Its hardly too confusing why people are infuriated by the ZERO activity we've done. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yep, look at all the other teams battling relegation, stupidly spending money in an effort to improve their squads. I'm surprised Randy's cunning plan of doing nothing hasn't caught on. I mean Newcastle are in the bottom 3 and aren't they meant to a Chairman that doesn't care? Meh, buying players is overrated.

ciggiesnbeer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I am so angry at Lerner, Fox & hollis right now. It is unacceptable when players surrender on the pitch and even more so when the owner & board do it off the pitch. They should be ashamed. Put me with the Lerner out brigade. This is the final insult. This current regime has relegated our club by its austerity. They need to go now. Even a poorer new owner would be better than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Personally I think we should be doing our upmost to bring in one or 2 strikers and a keeper before the end of the window. As it stands we are not down yet, at least not mathmatically. 4 months/15 games to go the concerning thing is everyone at the club bar the manager, players and a section of fans have given up. They have already started waving the white flag. Maybe we will go down, in fact, probably. The point being though is that we have only 2 strikers currently fit and neither are full of goals.Plus Gestede is injured for at least the next 4 weeks and Gabby who might as well stay injured for all the effort he has put in this season. We need bodies to help Remi over the next few months in an effort to continue building even if only for next season. I don't buy all the bullshit that players don't want to come. Fair enough some wont but many still will and for reasonable prices even if we are to go down. Players will se it as a way into English football and better wages with what is still a big club regardless of the current mess. Anything that is spent now can always be returned in the summer as inevitably certain players will want out. My biggest issue with spending nothing is the message it sends out to the manager, players and more importantly, us fans. The message that the board have given up on the club this season in January even if everyone else is still doing their all! And let's be fair about the whole "we can't risk the future of the club" nonsense", as it is just nonsense. They have been risking it for 5 years with the continual mismanaging! And what about the ST holders,are they allowed to give up and get refunds on ST's for the remaining games and start again next year?! I think not. Nobody is asking for fortunes to be spent or for the club to target players whose wages are ridiculously high...but come on, doing nothing in our situation is just pathetic imo when adding goals to a team without any could make all the difference with 15 games left. And not getting anyone in up front makes relegation a certainty even now as unless we add goals we can't win, just like at tescos last saturday when we should have had 3 points. I just want to see a real effort from from everyone in claret & blue to at least fight until the very end if possible and that involves helping this manager as much as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villastine Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I just looked at the Premier League table again. Seriously wondering why people are still confused about why we haven't signed anyone yet. Either we buy dross for the sake of it, championship hotshots whose clubs are in the promotion race. Young potential which won't do anything for us right now. Or QPR style throw a shed load of money at some mercenaries. Majority of those choices are not wise or viable. Truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. Or we sign a decent players with relegation clauses including release fees in their contracts. They have nothing to lose seeing as championship wages match that of most other European premier leagues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I didn't expect any signings this window and certainly not any signings that would have a significant impact. It won't be a failure to act in this window that will send us down though and in some ways I don't blame the club for not trying to rescue the season. It is too far gone for that. To have any hope we would spend relatively significant sums in this window we had to keep ourselves in touch with safety and we didn't. I also think it is alight saying lets plan for next season but we don't actually know what the squad is going to need next season. Who is going to stay, who we want to get rid off but can't sell, who we want to keep but throws their toys out of the pram and wants out. I can see the argument that regardless of if we go down or not we need a keeper and a striker and we have it seems tried for the keeper. Getting a decent striker is probably the hardest position to fill though and with limited options in January, an inflated market and our dire position I always felt it unlikely we would sign one and certainly not one of the required standard to give us a chance of staying up.
