The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)

[Ianrally]

I reckon Gestede must have taken a leaf out of Yosser Hughes’ book and phoned the maggot and said “Gizza job”

I just can’t see how Waggot would have known of him otherwise.

We won at Leicester. simple as, you can up with all the excuses you want. 

4 wins for me, just lets not go there. 

Yes we put poor performances just like under every manager that happen like good performances. 

We know he can keep us defensively solid and play on the counter and score but I want to see how he is going to develop us as attacking team and score goals. I know we won't be gun-ho under him. He had little faith in our attacking players outside the main 4 players of Szmodics, Hedges, Dolan and Gallagher(maybe Leonard). 

oh right, so just suggestions from who?

We need strikers who can score goals and go in behind defences. He scores at this level. That's what we need. 

fair play Parsonblue for being so open and honest even you knew people would have a different view than yours. 

My own view is lets see what affect Gestede can have here. Is it appointment I would have made? deffo not, I wanted someone with experience in that role before hand like Les Ferdinand or Alex Aldridge. It will be interesting how much he is involved in transfers or not. 

On Park appointment, I think it is good appointment and he will need his range of contacts and knowledge to bring players in even on our budget 

Players signed during 2021/2022 when Park was previously employed

 Clarkson - useless

Poveda- a few games then injured 

Khadra- erratic but had his moments 

Edun- useless 

Vsn Hecke - excellent 

Markandy - waste of £500k

Zeefuick - who the f***? 

Giles - would have been good if used       properly 

Hedges - came good eventually 

Brown- wouldn't have made the grade if he'd stayed 

All in all a very mixed bag.

You dismissed the idea that there are question marks over him. Even if you like him, you surely have some questions and not absolute and total faith in him.

I am absolutely delighted Matty.  Couldn't happier to see the back of Broughton and Rudy installed.  I think it's an interesting appointment and someone who will be able to relate to players in a way that Broughton couldn't.  At the end of the day we all have to start our careers somewhere and no reason why Rudy shouldn't start here.  

It's amazing that anyone could have followed the club the last 14 years and after yet another quick, cheap rearranging of the deck chairs proclaim themselves 'absolutely delighted'. Wake Up!

Its not about like him, but progressing the team and moving us forward as attacking team. That's Eustace next step for him and the team. Plus bringing in the signings we need as a team to improve the squad and starting 11 like a striker or 2, right winger, Keeper, centre back and right back to compete with Brittain for the slot. Plus others signings for anyone who leaves aswell

Has anyone listen to Gestede interview? any good? worth a listen or not?

If you enjoy more platitudes, talk of a lack of budget, gushing thanks for Steve and Suhail and being told we all need to be together - yep, go for it.

Yes it's a decent interview - talks about the six months he's already been here.  Outlines his job.  Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Cliches 

Very little detail in to what he will actually do. 
 

Talked nonsense about Waggots engagement with fans. 
 

felt like he nearly tripped up a few times and had to watch his words carefully. 
 

the role doesn’t seem nessesary.

I’m all for giving someone a chance but blowing smoke up arse of the owners, Suhail and Swag doesn’t sit comfortably with me. I wish he could have just focussed on the current shit show and how we can, and must improve.

A lot of irrelevant twaddle, but not really elaborating as to you suggestion that there are no question marks over Eustace, having shot down a poster for suggesting there is.

There either is or isnt.

Mixed bag under limited resources.  Certainly nothing to be sure he is a good appointment.

It's like having Sunak running the club

Venkys pet Suhail was flying to India this week, thats over a month after the season finished to discuss budgets.

Outline his job and what he done to get there. 

Let's see what does. Doesn't say how much work he will do within the club recruitment or what Transfer plan this summer.

No it's not twaddle but about moving forward under Eustace in attacking sense..

Simply not true that there are no current impediments to the current funding of the club by the owners nor that the court case has nothing to do with the running of the club. 

[JHRover]

Thought Waggott declared at a meeting many weeks ago that budgets had already been set for the summer?

Whereabouts in town was the St Ledger hotel ?

[TugaysMarlboro]

Sounds like we have at least £23m available to spend this summer then, that's even before the owners "back us".

So why are we always scrapping around in the bargain basement? Why don't we spend decent money for once?
