Now THAT would get me excited for the game In fact you've made me very sad knowing that is extremely unlikely - curse you and your silly, hurtful jokes ?

San Fran Van Rams Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 When does the transfer window close? As we're looking at signing free agents, is there any restriction (other than the embargo) on when these players could be brought in? Sorry, I've lost track of all the changes to the transfer window regs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does buying a cinema ticket mean you own the cinema or the movie? Does buying an apple is Tesco give you rights to choose the way they run? No Being a fan or supporter is about more than just buying a ticket, I wouldn’t drive half way across the country on a wet Tuesday night in February to go to Tesco express .

ollycutts1982 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 While todays signings are underwhelming it will get us through tomorrows game and at least we will have recognised CB's. It is obvious the low wages were a factor so lets be grateful for what we currently have. We do need to follow this up by next weekend with more additions, more quality additions.

Miggins Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 3 hours ago, Eddie said: what's the point in having an academy if the players are mothballed as opposed to bringing them through? Some will sink, others will swim. I agree, Eddie, that some youngsters will sink and others will swim but it should leave us all feeling uneasy as to their treatment. Some who sink might well have become an future asset to the club if their induction into the first team had been handled sensitively and gradually. Just because you are two years into a course to become a doctor you aren't qualified to carry out an operation. I agree that players shouldn't be 'mothballed' indefinitely but their coaches should decide when they are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not underwhelmed. They want to play for the club. Isn't that what lots of fans have been crying out for? Players wanting to play for the club not for the money!?! #COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous poster was claiming he'd put money into the club and seemed to suggest that made him some kind of investor I was simply pointing out that the things he claimed made him an investor were merely consumer transactions - He paid a price and got a service or product out of it - He wasn't investing in the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggins Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 2 hours ago, G-Ram said: Not all players come through an academy are going to make it. Some are there to make up numbers for the academy squad so we can put out a team. Throwing them all in isn't right isnt right Some players develop faster than others, some burst onto the scene & can play every game, some need bedding in, some are ready at 18 years old some don't develop until they're 22 - 23 year old. Thats both physically and mentally It isn't about chucking them in and seeing if they sink or swim. You could chuck someone in & they sink but they could have well swam with the right guidance and bedding in. We're reliant on throwing in too many academy products in one hit. Some aren't ready for a 46 game season & it'll be damaging to their development It also shouldn't be morris' decision that academy players are ready. He employs far more qualified people than him to decide what is best for our team. Im not saying mothball youngsters i just dont think its fair to throw 18 year olds in to match day squads potentially before they are ready Thanks, @G-Ram you put it far more eloquently than me. ?
