Dr Gloom

they've pretty much summed up my feeling as usual

this story hasn't even made ssn

luque, tristan or sibierski? a depressing thought all round

tristan used to be a good player. got to be a better bet than sibierski, shirley?

You ARE an accountant, aren't you Gem ? You ARE aware of how little money the club has, aren't you Gem ? You don't appear to be ... 189821[/snapback] Yes I AM an accountant. And as an accountant I would have counted all the money and said to Roeder "Err Glenn, we've got £15m to spend. We need 6 players, you've said it yourself. Now are you absolutely certain that you want to spend all of that on two players?" Are you getting this yet? You have gone into TOTAL SPASTIC mode as far as I can see. 189845[/snapback] thread over.

i wonder if he's on the money he wanted last time. flopping at southampton and rangers wouldn't have strengthened his hand but god knows we were desperate.

i'm starting to wish we'd got viduka and huth. how 24 hours can change your expectations for the season

you couldn't make it up

absolute waste of money shirley? i'd sooner promote a youngster.

don't be stupid. We backed Souness to the hilt, selling players he shouldn't for peanuts, and buying players for big money, which a lot of people said we should do to "give him his own team". Well, it failed. Those who said he should support Souness were wrong. How much money exactly do you think we should throw at managers ? How many other clubs have thrown 16m quid this summer for starters ? Roeder may well be the fall guy, but whoever we got would be paying the price for Souness's stupidity, and those who said we should back him and so agreed with Shepherd in that matter are just as stupid. 189661[/snapback] i don't know how you can defend him after yet another farce. the sad thing was how predictable it all was. i think i predicted a couple of panic buys a few weeks back but i didn't imagine even shepherd could fuck it up this much. no new defenders? antoine sibierksi? you're having a laugh mate 189691[/snapback] Defend who ? For handing his managers another 16m quid ? You don't have much idea do you 189717[/snapback] running a club isn't about spending a fortune on players you don't need. it's about budgeting money so that your manager is able to build a squad, not half a side of crocked or shite trophy signings. i take it you're happy with our current defence and our new signing sibierksi? 189721[/snapback] you said it yourself, "the manager is able to build a squad"...if you are not happy with the signings this summer, why are you blaming Shepherd ? Don't you think 16m quid is a canny bit of money, I think its a hell of a risk actually, after the Souness era. As for "Trophy Signings" ... where did you get this cliche if you don't want trophy, quality signings, go and support the mackems or one of the shite teams, who don't make "trophy" or quality signings..... priceless. Talk about not having a mind of your own .... trotting out the current buzz word, dear me. 189727[/snapback] you don't think shepherd has any infulence over our transfer window (lack of) strategy? how naive. i'm pretty sure sibierski wasn't at the top of the shopping list roder gave ff at the beginning of the summer. but yet again, the fat twat waits until the last possible minute and we end up with the best panic buy EVER. so remind me what you think of our defence going into the new season? 189735[/snapback] No, I don't think the chairman picks who to buy and sell, I think only a complete fuckwit and someone who hasn't got a mind of their own believes such shite. Are you happy with the money spent this summer and last summer ? If you are not, please tell us how many clubs have matched this, and who ? BTW, you amuse me. You would certainly have been one of the 30,000 fickle fuckers who disappeared when we really were shite, if regular European football and top quality international footballers isn;'t enough for you. There have been plenty of average nobodies playing 12 miles down the road since 1992 if that is what you prefer. 189745[/snapback] i went to the games when we were shit believe me. the bad times in the past is still no excuse for the current chairman's incompetence. not for me anyway. you blame the manager. i blame the fuckwit that runs the club and ultimately makes the important decisions. i don't know how you can defend the current situation we find ourselves in. everything about today was a total shambles. the vidula farce, sending poor milner down to birmingham then calling him back and then panic buying some 32 year old man city reject. smacks of a shambles of a club run by, frankly, a cretinous moron.

should be a doozy

kavanagh or sibierski? not much between them tbh. best panic buy EVER. if you look up panic buy in an encyclopedia you'll see this picture

shame he was a week too late or he could have been a contender for the number 9
