I don't know where all the negativity towards scot wharton has come from recently! He's an absolutely quality cb and only going to get better with experience, his form may have dipped a bit, but he's young and the form of most the squad has been shite at times. 

He’s not had a good season so far.

All this talk of the project, the longer term, forward planning etc. being criticised, for me brings to mind something Jack said when we won the title. Through tears of joy, he said that we'd achieved

The more time I've had for the statement to sink in, the more angry I am about the phrase "..one of the deals was a very ambitious target.." Gaslighting us that the only problem here is that they

If and its a big if, these deals don't happen due to further incompetence within the board room, then sack the board needs to start ringing loud and clear. Thats potentially a £200 million pound

Wouldn't be fussed if we missed out on Porteous, not in the slightest.

If Ayala is released - Hyam and Scott Wharton make a solid pair at this level. Plus, our midfield has been costing us games, not our defenders.

Signing Porteous would impede the development of our younger defenders, more specifically i'm thinking of Ash Phillips.

We're incredibly fortunate to have a young prospect like Phillips in our ranks, given his potential he's probably the envy of most clubs in the country - including teams in the PL!

We need to give Ash opportunities, help him fulfil his potential, and give him a reason to commit to the Club long-term. The financial benefits that we'd reap from this, could be off the scale. If we truly are a development squad, this is what we need to do.

Forget about Porteous I say. Put the money towards an experienced CDM who can complement the likes of Buckley and Adam Wharton.

Completly agree. We need to get one or two midfield gems. Our midfield is our biggest issue

I thought he started the season excellently alongside Ayala! 

To me it seemed to be around the time he and his brother got overlooked for the Burnley game that something seemed to turn a little sour, maybe just my imagination but i got tge feeling there might have been disagreements around the training ground over that and thats effected things, but ability wise i think he's very good for a young cb

He kept on passing the ball to the opposition and was caught out of position a lot earlier in the season.

He had a good game at the weekend, so hopefully he's over his blip in form.

The inability of Broughton and co to close a deal is frightening.

There can be no excuses - he is paid a relatively huge amount of money to oil the wheels.

You'd have expected them to get one very good deal over the line this window if only to show a statement of intent and prove their worth, they've had half a season to get at least one deal lined up and ready

 

That said!! These aren't new problems, we had the same issue through the last few years of the Mowbray era

You are always on the wind up, that much is clear

I am beginning to think you are a parody

I think Broughton is probably capable of sealing a deal for a good player but is hamstrung by the financial constraints the club are under and the budgets that are set by the Raos.

I'm looking forward to seeing Adam Wharton come back into the side. How long is he out for, does anyone know?

Change the staff around yet the same issues linger. 

Everything has to go to Venkys for approval still on transfers and then when approval is given they need to wait for funds to arrive.

It's a long drawn out process which unfortunately means we miss out on most of our targets as other clubs step in while we are waiting for approvals.

No wind up.  Simply factual.

Some have mentioned different staff same outcome, some have mentioned budgetary constraints.

Two points:

  • Firstly, hire staff who can do the feckin job. 
  • Secondly, Broughton knows the budget so he should either fish in the right feckin ponds or wheel and deal. 

I think indecision and lack of nous and judgement are holding us back.

Other clubs with budgetary constraints manage to make signings so why the feck can't we!?  There are simply no excuses.

I wonder what common factor links the last 10 to 12 years where we have struggled to be organised in the transfer window. Hmmm does any one know? What is different about us than other clubs

ITS FUCKING VENKYS not Broughton
