RE: 90%...............and the school play ground you're getting two things mixed up. just because people aren't moaning at every player we don't sign - it doesn't mean they're not concerned.
Pre season friendlies only a complete muppet would think they have any bearing on how the team will do when the season starts. chill out, Kermit.
Chef Tyke ....hav told yer before I am concerned Winge and whine on here and outside the ground But........ I don't do either inside the ground I never shout abuse at any of our players at a match.........can you say that? Or, how many more on here can say that?
RE: Chef Tyke ....hav told yer before i didn't say you did. i just think your concerns could be a bit more constructively put - they come across a bit you know, negative and a tad unrealistic. you must be aware that we can't just go and shell out 4-500k and 6/7k a week on a striker? i think AR is going to try and get a striker if he can - unlikely one who can guarantee goals at this level because that would cost too much. shipps would be ideal - but can we afford him? i doubt it. it might end up being a young lad on loan from the prem we have to take a risk on, maybe that lad from middlesborough? i think he will also keep a bit of money if we need it come half way through the season and are struggling. he's also got to show some loyalty to those players who took us up last year which i think he will do.
so it's .............. 90% of THE PEOPLE YOU TALK TO -absolute classic</p> 90% of the people I talk to aren't 90% of the people you talk to-if you get what I mean.</p> Basically you want reassurances that you are right so you talk to people who agree with you-well 90% anyway-but an opinion can never be right by definition</p> and i do care passionately about the team-it's just that I don't wear blinkers</p>
RE: 90%...............and the school play ground I spoke to someone who was going to give Barnsley FC a million quid just for the laugh but he was concerned at the lack of signings so he didn't.</p> That has as much credence as your 'stories' of people who were going to buy season tickets but didn't.</p>
RE: so it's .............. We are going to struggle, I think. Surely nobody expects anything different, though?

RE: Two wrongs dunt make a right I'm trying to understand the logic behind your posting C.T. only because I do not think that anyone is wanting the club to throw money around. I do believe however that the fan base are able to recognise that money is tight and that careful thought must be given to how money is spent as apposed to throwing it around. It is obvious though how much we are in need of a quality or at least a reasonable striker. I do think that your responses are sometimes over the top when a board member is attempting to get a discussion going. We do need a striker. There must be some out there who would fit our bill. I like many others would expect money to be made avalable if one should become available. Remember what Patrick said. The thread which was started by Y.N. I believe was in my opinion one which highlighted that big big problem from last season of us not having a "Goodenough" striker. In otherwords the status quo continues to exists which means the strike force is all but the same as last season. I just hope that Richie and the board do something about it. That, in my opinion is not whinging. It is a comment based upon my observations of how I see the team at present
RE: Two wrongs dunt make a right I would say we need the backbone strengthening 2 experienced centre halves - Morgan and Mackay (Watford) 1 midfielder that can make things happen - Teddy Sheringham 2 experienced forwards - Shipperley / Horsefield plus a loan signing thats what young nudger posted a week ago. in my opinion that is suggesting that we throw money around. because the wages between them 4/5 plus a loan signing would be in excess of £40,000 a week. that is unrealistic and then we'll get the moaning when it doesn't happen.We do need a striker - everyone , including AR knows that. But lets be realistic about it eh.
