CastletonRam Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 £25 million spent last season on absolute garbage that's made the team no better, now we're facing the prospect of not signing anyone else tomorrow. We've signed Vydra and sold Hendrick which leaves us at net profit of about £1.5 million. Still need another striker, winger, and right back at a minimum. If not it's going to be a long season. Squad have already proven they aren't even going to show up against league one fodder. What exactly is Mel doing here if he's not going to improve the squad. Bottom line if we spent better last season didn't buy so many losers on long contracts and overinflated wages and instead got players who wanted to play for the shirt we wouldn't be in this mess. Wasted another transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Facing the prospect of signing nobody tomorrow? You good at predicting the future then? If you're that good you could win the lottery a few times, buy a big yacht somewhere and surround yourself with beautiful girls (or men if you'd prefer), then perhaps you would be happier and have less to moan about as that's seemingly all you do. Every post I've seen from you has some weird bitter influence behind it. Perhaps we could wait 24 more hours before complaining about it? I expect if this time tomorrow we have solved your wishes with a striker, winger and right back, you'll still have something to moan about.

Papahet Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We won't sign players to add to an already bloated squad, people keep forgetting that. Let's sign Rhodes for X million, paying the likes of Darren Bent and Nick Blackman to sit on the bench doing sod all. We need to shift on the deadwood, mutual termination if needs be for Baird and Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasted another transfer window. Whats the saying about hindsight having 20 20 vision? Maybe Mel has realised he did spend overly inflated prices on average players so to avoid getting his fingers burnt twice is being actively cautious in his transfer dealings this summer. Or would you have him waste some more of his millions on bang average players so you could complain about that as well, not sure what you want.

CastletonRam Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Owen saying nothing nailed on either. 'Trying' doesn't fill me with optimism considered we were trying for the previous 60 days of the window and couldn't bring anyone in. Story of the window is losing targets to our rivals. Been a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think MM chooses the players we buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think MM chooses the players we buy? No, I'm lambasting him for spending it on dross, not the amount itself. We'd be in the Premier League right now if it had been spent well. In a way it is about hindsight, because last year was the best chance we had and we blew it, with the TV money inflating parachute payments clubs coming down are now spending £50 million a window and taking all our targets leaving us weaker. No way we're going up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1964 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Dont see many others ready to step up to the plate!Sure Mel is on a learning curve and made mistakes,but he is making them with his own money.Every club makes poor signings even more employ inappropiate managers and staff,otherwise they woud have jobs for life. Look at the money man city have wasted and Chelsea in recent years on over rated players and massive transfer fees costing 100s of millions . Unless you know of a better candidate to be owning and investing in the club ,prepared to spend their own money and invest in the academy and training facilities whilst financially supporting all recent managers i think your opinion is albeit entitled but utter garbage. Cant think of many clubs in this division that are not envious of are financial position,sponsorship deals,stadium training facilities and ability to attract coaching staff of the calibre and experience of those in recent years. yes its not all fitted together,disapointments on and off the pitch but at least things appear to be happening,unlike at other clubs.
