highpants 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Why dont we stop bleating on about Transfer Rumours and realise that there wont be any significant signings this window, Roeder has been hinting for days now that he may have to resort to loan deals and that is exactly what will happen, i dont think its lack of funds, more like Roeder being terrified to commit.

Guest Patrokles Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 There are very few players out there who are: - being made available by their clubs. - good enough to sign. - interested in coming here. This is, simply put, a major contributory factor as to why there haven't been any signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Makes all those months waiting for this window to open all the more better! just adding to the fans frustration more than it is,fuckers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 We'll make one signing imo and he'll be a mediocre player from a mediocre club, I mean who else would want to come here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I think we'll sign a left back and a keeper, both for small fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I suppose at this moment in time any signings would be good, we seem to need to strengthen right across the side the way things are. I wouldn't have put a keeper near the top of the list though, bit odd that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo we are not massively desperate for players. we should work with what we have unless we can get an absolute top player in (i thought/think we should get a decent LB in though).

Gemmill 47550 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Imo we are not massively desperate for players. We were desperate for additions to the back four in August, and since then we have lost half of the defenders we DID have to injury - we're playing with a teenaged centre half pairing in some games. How anyone can say we aren't in a position of NEEDING to make signings, I don't know. Whether we make them in January or in the summer, we are in desperate need of some signings to sort out our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just quote the person supposedly bleating on about it instead of trying to make out everyone else is doing this and you're the only one in the know?

I agree that IF everyone was fit we'd be ok (although still with weakness across the back 4, a lack of quality and attacking creativity in midfield and lacking a genuinely quality front man who can hold the ball upand be good in the air - assuming we are aiming for a Champions League place - winning the league we'd need a lot more), but presently we are a bit desperate.... although I agree it'd probably be better to get decent loan signings than sign any old rubbish just for bodies. But you have to wonder if we'll sign any quality, whether for us directly or even on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The atmosphere and direction of the club has gone to shit since Fatty sacked Sir Bobby, I just can't see us signing anyone decent or getting a good team feeling til there's a change at the top.

Sima 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Bobby Robson blatantly the best manager we have had in the last 50 years tbh (possibly ever). Yes, even better than Keegan. I mean, look where we are now. Only footballer's inflated egos and lack of respect made his posistion untenable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Unless he pulls off a masterstroke on deadline day, which I doubt, Roeder has shown himself to be utterly incompetent when it comes to transfer dealings. Even if Shepherd told him there would be no money to spend in January, Roeder has had enough time to identify a couple of cheap loan signings that he could have brought in earlier. And the most annoying thing about his ineptness is the stuff he comes out with in the papers on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Roeder is away doing his coaching course isn't he? Brilliant!just fucking brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
