More than you’d expect in certain instances.Well, seemingly, Tiger is part of the recruitment team
He's certainly a key player in the selling team...Well, seemingly, Tiger is part of the recruitment team
Ruffles hasn’t become a bad L1 player overnight.Centre mid is his specialist position!! He has been converted into a left back by KR.
I can tell you are a glass half full type of guy/girl!Ruffles hasn’t become a bad L1 player overnight.
He’s perfectly ok in a good L1 team.
There are far deeper issues than temporary loss of form for one or two players.
The squad had been basically raided for the last few years.
We’ve pretty much sold everyone we have.
It ain’t rocket science.
In the last 12 months we have sold our three best players and have made little/no effort to replace them.
Everyone cites Peterborough as an Oxford model. Or Brentford. But has anyone actually noticed, they both spend money on replacement players. Brentford spend £5m+, Peterborough spend 1m+.
Taylor was a very good signing. But a free .
Winnall is a gamble. And a free.
Atkinson needs time. From the Conference.
And so on.
This is all sticking plaster stuff. We will end up lower mid table.
But when (fingers crossed and all that) things go back to normal, we should be returning to the key issue facing this club.
We have a lease running out on a useless half built stadium that everyone hates.
We have zero assets, apart from players, and we now have one, who is injured and worth maybe £500k or so.
And that’s it.
We have an owner who talks a lot, but systematically sells all our best players.
So what does he actually want for the club?
Separate thread maybe, but far more important than whether we sign a L1 pro at centre half.
And please don’t talk about the money he’s put in....he’s sold everyone .
We got lucky end of last season, but there is a natural consequence to selling your best players every year.
And guess what? In the long term, it’s not good news.
Looking forward to seeing no posts from you if we are winning.Looking forward to seeing our new signing tonight after he signed on Sunday as per Robbo. Whats that? Oh. Same again then?
Ah. You’ve got me. Precisely the sort of measured, intelligent response that is needed. Well done.I can tell you are a glass half full type of guy/girl!
Weren't you spouting this same nonsense on deadline day and then we signed Shodipo?Looking forward to seeing our new signing tonight after he signed on Sunday as per Robbo. Whats that? Oh. Same again then?
Did we sign someone?Weren't you spouting this same nonsense on deadline day and then we signed Shodipo?

Did we sign anyone the day we signed Shodipo?Did we sign someone?
There was Bazzer. The usual undisclosed!!Hi I thought there was a fee involved with Atkinson?
Hi I thought there was a fee involved with Atkinson?
There was. £100k or so? My point is the very small % of re investment. It can be spun as a salary 'story'..but we are selling off the family silver, and we are not targeting, and recruiting, proper replacements. It seems fashionable now to slag off Eales. But (until he got bored) he was making genuine re investment. Out went COD for £1.5m. In came Johnson for £600k. There'll be the usual apologists on this forum, but.. Rothwell. Ledson. Fosu- Henry. Baptiste. Dickie. All sold. £7m or so? Re investment in fees? £300-400k?....Hi I thought there was a fee involved with Atkinson?
