MWARLEY2 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 hoping their is an ace up the sleeve. More likely to be a no though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Supporter Rodders Posted August 26, 2004 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2004 you must be joking It's Beattie ( unlikely ) or no-one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Beattie or bust. Unless its total bullshit that comes out of VP, in which case expect 2 players. Seriously, letting Allback go may be a sign that somebody is lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RantinRob Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 don't forget who runs "our" club..............NO SIGNING (s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromsgrove_avfc Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I think the Beattie drama is still ongoing and changing everyday so it could go either way. Beattie may push harder to move depending on the manager and team morale, we may up the bid. I really don't think anyone knows. personally I don't think it is goint to happen. That said it'll Beattie or no one so in a longwinded answer I'm saying no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 went for no, although SmellP*ss usually pulls something out of the bag if he feels he is under pressure and it will deflect criticism. the wrong reasons for a signing, although something may just happen ....

bigwheels Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 The right signing for the wrong reasons is still the right signing ... O'Leary will at least chose the targets, but I can't help but feel we have an audacious bid for Rooney lined up :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmcgrathsshin Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Living in hope that something will happen but I'm not holding my breath. No doubt we'll get the "....well we tried to get James Beattie....blah blah blah.......which goes to prove we're trying to invest in the playing staff and improve the squad blah blah blah" speech from smellpiss.

Richard Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I don't think so. I seriously think thats it for summer signings. An investment ot 2.5M in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwheels Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 "....well we tried to get James Beattie....blah blah blah.......which goes to prove we're trying to invest in the playing staff and improve the squad blah blah blah" I see this as potentially more damaging to him, surely this wily old fox won't use such a see-through defence?

Jon Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 and that's the thing with wily old foxes - lemmings and muppets are scared of them yeah, he scares the sh*t out of me :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I actually object to the term "wily old fox". Not specifically getting at you BW as others also use this phrase and each time I see it I cringe. You see that term makes him sound less malevolent than he actually is. A little rascal, a scamp if you like. In actual fact he is much more nasty than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwheels Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Well, we'll wait and see if he uses it in a few weeks time, following on from that last time he did ... you know when ... um ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
