Ambitious Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 2 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: The January transfer window is a game of cat and mouse, where clubs try to have the pants down of other desperate clubs. I'm glad we've not been reeled in and stuck to our guns. I imagine the reaction we are seeing now would have been pretty much the same had we signed some lower league striker that nobody had heard of. Reaction and results are a different matter - if you are able to identify talent then it doesn’t matter what the reaction from fans is. What is a problem is when you blow a huge wage on a player because he’s Luton’s captain, don’t worry about his actual ability or how he will fit in the team, then drop him within the first month of the season for a number of howlers. Equally, sign a bunch of players coming back off injuries who struggle to put a run of games together, because, well they get injured. I’d buy the ‘woe is me’ line from Warne & the recruitment staff had they not ignored whopping red flags prior to their signing. As I said, incredibly lazy CV-based approach to signing footballers. Nothing a f****** 12 year old with the latest version of football manager couldn’t achieve. Gee SCREAMER !! and BPV 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 26 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: I don't know much about the u21 strikers, that is why I asked the question. My only real recollection is that Warne was an awful manager 2 or 3 weeks ago for not playing Weston? Warne is a poor manager by any other measure than "can he get a team promoted form League one" and even that is in doubt right now RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the EFL disputed it by bringing in their own expert who compared him to the 17 year old midfielder playing for the Torquay United 3rd team, as they're "just the same"..

Barney1991 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 4 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: Well thats the decision we made, just because he got injured should not mean we go out and get another person on loan. We have Waghorn and Washington to come back. What is my opinion on what? Where you stand on warne if we plummet out of the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too busy sniffing his mams undersheet to look at our balance sheet. Strange that he's not protesting about Derby benefitting from their money when we didn't pay 100 per cent of what we owe. Perhaps that's because he only talks b******* when it suits. Van der MoodHoover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 12 hours ago, duncanjwitham said: He looks like a technically decent player and he's mobile and stuff, but he just seems to have no awareness of what's going on around him. He gets caught in possession a lot when we have the ball, and he lets players run off him when we don't have it. And both of those things are absolutely suicidal given the way we play.

There were a few very good free agents in the summer who in hindsight it looks mad we didn’t or couldn’t compete to sign.

OoooMarkWright Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 11 minutes ago, Tyler Durden said: Let's play the blame game then - who have you got in the frame for this? How would I know? I’m not privy to finances, talks, offers etc. It’s poor though, you have to admit that? I’m sure the club tried to bring players in, but it’s very poor planning again. Last summer was a farce at times too. The Waghorn signing being a prime example, signing after Forsyths testimonial. This window hasn’t gone to plan either. Warne admitted that last Jan cost us and left us short. That’s 3 windows where planning and recruitment have been questionable. In our position it’s more difficult, obviously. But, there are clear issues somewhere at the club. Even you must admit that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Not particularly surprising January - Warne seems to focus on over 30 s forwards based in Sheffield or anyone else with a lengthy fitness issue More bothered that Bird wanted to sign now to not be here in the summer because he doesn’t believe in Warne or the way he plays his football and maybe that’s the problem as lots of other third division managers all frequently say they know what a Warne team plays like and whilst we have little money to spend we are unable to consider getting a decent loan from a premiership club and I personally believe that’s down to how we approach the football served up by our current manager. we can absolutely be promoted but it’s going to be a hard watch.

There's a reason why alot of the players we have signed have just come back from injury I'd imagine. But it’s not the fans job - I like most was excited about Bradley, but I hadn’t seen him play a full game or analysed him ahead of a contract that was going to cost the club close to a million pound. I’m going to assume if you watch that last two years of Bradley at Luton you’re going to see a very similar guy to the one we signed. Players don’t just magically get worse overnight, and they don’t magically just get better, the signs are there for all to see - the club just need to know how to analyse them properly.

Everyone knew the score by 5 o’clock. Fair play if you want to stay positive but it’s a disgrace not to land a striker at all. There was me thinking Gregory was poor. Genuinely flabbergasted. Alright though because Wash is back soon. BPV, Gee SCREAMER !! and JustOneBiblicalKazim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
