Deano 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) So we didnt get the "two more" that we hoped for, but we all kinda knew it wasnt going to materialise didnt we? Trying to be positive looking at our current squad, situation and fixtures till the end of the season. Oba should be back for WBA, Smith nearing fitness, Viduka in training (Means nothing) but we are going to be without Danny Guthrie for the rest of the campaign (NUFC.com say he's available?). So we've got Butt, Nolan, and Barton when he's back in 2 months time to play in centre midfield. Butt and Nolan can forge a good partnership in midfield i think, lets just hope neither pick up injuries or suspensions becasue then we will feel the lack of adequate recruits. Beye, Barton and Owen likely to return in april so my guesses our starting line up will be the following... Harper R.Taylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Gutierrez Nolan Butt Duff Shola Martins Not a GREAT side but surely good enough to stay up and finish top half? Lovenkrands will cover for both Duff and Guti and imagine will play in the absence of Guti against WBA. R.Taylor will play at RB whilst Beyes out and id imagine will then replace Enrique at LB when Beye returns. Butt and Nolan HAS to be our midfield pairing as we have no choice, but i hope once Guthrie and Barton are fit either of them would be a better choice than Butt. And finally we'll have Carroll, Viduka and Smith as cover upfront, Non of which are world beaters but better than nothing. Seeing as we havnt spent the SG and CNZ i can only hope there is going to be a sizeable budget to spend in the summer when we are going to need 2 strikers, one of which to replace Owen, 2 LW one of which to replace duff, and RW as an understudy and cover for Guti, a creative CM a LB and an Experienced CB. 7 players needed for us to go on and have a better campaign next year.

Guest alex Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Aye, you've been spot on so far with being positive. Sorry like but that doesn't read remotely good even when you try and put a positive slant on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22198 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 the one positive for me is that staying up is still in our own hands. but we all knew that this transfer window was key in keeping that the case. we have royally fucked up.

dcraggs 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'd say it's not really just in our hands.. this weekend is a MUST win game - we have to start getting some point on the board, however.. Boro look in a worse situation as do West Brom. That leaves any of 5 teams, us included.. lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did my company's 20th birthday do. Even the bloke who got him in reckoned he was shit in the end. Just talked about stuff he'd done in a conceited and boring way. How he'd been hired to find oil for companies and stuff like that. Aye, that's why you're doing the guest speaker circuit. he even did that shit thing where a few people lift someone up which everyone has seen before. He'd did bend some spoons though.

Deano 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Boys if we dont stay positive then whats the point? Im as frustrated and fucked of and you lot about the transfer window, im pleased with the players we got but we still needed 2-3 more. Didnt happen, we feel we've been bullshitted too but end of the day what will be will be. Maybe im being daft, but i really dont see any point being negative about it. We HAVE to stay positive.

We HAVE to stay positive. there's a difference between positivity and mindless optimism. you must accept a lot of your post is clutching at straws. the squad is in the shit. it needed to be radically improved if we were to get out of it. it hasn't been. we are now looking at the worst relegation battle since we were promoted. that is a fact. why pretend otherwise?

Imo, we're not 'down' but we're nailed on bottom 5 - 6 with a very good chance of going down. That's a fact unless we see an almost miraculous turn around in our fortunes. Hull, Boro, WBA, Portsmouth are all in the shit but we're right there with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may well be setting myself up to be massively dissapointed, but thats MY prerogative. I DONT think the squad is brilliant but at the same time i DONT think it is totally void of talent or quality, it ISN'T a top 8 side but it IS a side that should stay in the league. Like i've said in other posts, for us to be a top table side we need to shift the dead wood and bring in at least 7 new faces in the summer, and with not spending the money we've received for Shay and Charlie id imagine and HOPE we will invest heavily in the summer.

If I've pulled you for talking shit, that was why. Diddums tbh. Re: this, I can't really be arsed with your 'stay positive' platitudes as they don't help at all. You're the one chucking the toys out the pram as well btw because we didn't join in the Frog Chorus with you. You're out of your fucking tree as well if you think all this money is being set aside for a summer spending spree. All in my opinion, obviously.
