I don't think I can stand another game with a toothless front line. We can have as much of the ball as we like but without anyone to put it in the net, what's the point? By the time the striker signs and Ibe gets fit we could be so far off top 2, even top 6 the season could end up being a bit of a non-entity. One year, just one, I hope we manage to get our signings in before the 1st game of the season, get them familiar with the tactics and crack on. admira, dcfcreece1601, Black ('n' White) Sheep and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdest signing video EVER.... Strapline translates as 'Welcome to the family...' Yikes he looks old , If thats Dursun i'm glad we didn't get him...bad dress sense as well !!

I'll have a word with the powers that be and make sure next season there's no global pandemic, no recession, no transfer embargo, no messing about changing managers between campaigns and all players are fully fit and willing to sign with us as soon as we show an interest. Not sure if I'll be able to get selling clubs to do their business early as well so it doesn't hold up our plans, but I'll see what favours I can pull in. ??

Pretty sure there's going to be more COVID disruption happening. That'll mean fixture and date changes are possible, plus the economy really struggling and teams outside of the Premier League really struggling to keep afloat. I also reckon the EFL will pull out all the stops to scupper any plans we have after the tribunal result and the way fans are talking about hiring and firing managers, I don't doubt that the Lampard scenario could easily play out again. Just opinions though innit, and although it looks kinda dark, it was all said tongue in cheek. I think there are good reasons (I don't want to use the word 'excuses') for where we are right now. Fans have every right to be upset and worried about the current situation though. I'd love a smooth transfer window and be able to assemble the right squad at the right time for the right money, but pobody's nerfect...

Yes this past year, 2 ot maybe even 3, the EFL have dug their claws in and made things difficult. That on top of someone ordering a dodgy Bat Tikka in China and things look bleak.

Abu Derby Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 It’s a shame that fans aren’t allowed to Pride Park Stadium. I can see it now - Dursun being paraded onto the pitch with the Dambusters music blaring through the PA system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
