I cant tell exactly what your question is because of the wording. Is it, when was the last time you were in favour (ie excited) of a signing we made?

He isnt a winger that can cross. He would give us needed speed but comes inside, end product to be kind is hit and miss and he doesnt work hard.

Zaragoza fans seem to consider him to be the worst player in their history which is a worry. Seems like his best attribute is getting on the end of crosses. Shame our players cant cross.

Why is it a joke? Club demands high fee for player they want to keep when unlike us they dont have to sell everything they possibly can.

Where is this from? They surely will go through, as certain as you can be with this club. 2 have been openly discussed by the manager this weekend in relation to what they will bring and one is a youngster who has confirmed his departure from his old club.

McFadzean. (If that is true)

No.

Have to take that story with a mound of salt. We would need to spend maybe 4/5/6 million to get that striker, Baker and Dembele, which lets be honest would still be pitiful considering the amount we will have brought in, the owners will still have pocketed 22m for Wharton, 4 or 5m for Raya, then potentially a further 12m for Szmodics. Yet still an amount that will likely be beyond us. As for the players mentioned. Never heard of the striker playing in Belgium, not the best goal record including a 0 in 22 in the 2nd tier in Spain in 22/23 but I have never heard of him so no idea if he is good or not. Seemingly a target man, shame none of our players can cross a ball. Dembele is always mentioned, he is quick and we must be the slowest team in the league but he lacks end product and is lazy, hence why Birmingham fans dont seem arsed to see him leave and why he was left out of the squad towards the end of last season. Hill would be a good loan if we can get him back. And the 2 strangest links amidst that is the Baker one. He said a week or 2 ago that we would move for Baker if we could do a swap, now we have a player they seemingly want, why has he gone cold on that idea? And why would Ruddy (who would be a terrible signing) be loaned from a club he clearly signed for purely to fill a quota of English players? If we did make all of those signings, we would still be in a scrap down the bottom but we arent going to sign all of those players. @chaddyrovers is Alan Nixon a personal friend? Not only can you not fathom that not every thing he says is definitely true, but you refer to him as Nicko like he is a mate of yours.

Who was the response to? His priority is keeping things vague enough to sell stories. But I think we all know things have escalated very fast downhill.

For a functional club, selling our only goalscorer for a profit on the back of selling an England quality talent and getting some other bits would help to fund a proper rebuild, whilst being able to keep a bit back to run the club. Here, we all know (well, nearly) that we are destined to go one way, relegation will follow this season, and it helps our terrible owners (still not all the focus is on them, even snakes enabling it like Waggott and Suhail arent the issue) to keep the lights on amidst their misdemeanours. Chaddy is an outlier who is doubling down on his superfan shite, thinking we are about to sign some good players and potentially improve. Including the goal machine signing of Lyndon Dykes. Eustace doesnt have the same willingness to speak up like Tomasson but even he seems worn out and pissed off. I wonder if he will quit.

In what context? Seems particularly vague even for him. Although its a fair assumption that we all know.

He has released stories weekly throughout the last 2 months. Signings made. Zero.

We have consistently played and brought through youngsters in recent years. If anything, at times overly so due to the lack of competitive budget.

The ones from League 1 will have had wage increases twice upon promotion.

It is a friendly v a League 2 side with Yann Songo'o in it. In the Championship he is usually anonymous.

I would like to think even amidst the financial situation and the way the club is run that we will at least sign a senior keeper. Sadly, I expect someone on a short term deal, above 35 years old and with Pears still our number 1, making mistake after mistake.

Also no Vale. I wonder if Vale and Gent are being primed for exits or will be subs tomorrow.

That side tonight shows exactly how weak we are. Thats our second string and 6 dont have a league minute between them. Markanday and Garrett are miles off it, Buckley has been poor for a good while, Hedges is prone to injury and O'Riordan again is an unknown quantity. And thats not factoring in the weaknesses of our expected first 11. Pears in net, Sigurdsson, Dolan and Gallagher trying to get the goals. I wonder if Sigurdsson isnt involved because he will play again ahead of Szmodics tomorrow.

Putting aside your previous comments about having his legs broke, why would we take such a drastic view? If they dont bid a reasonable amount, we might have a bit of a strop but we cant afford to let him rot.

We clearly have different opinions on how he will help/hinder us. But surely we agree that the time of any potential new contract at the end of pre season is crazy.

He definitely isnt quicker than Hyam. Hyam can play in a back 4 and in a team that doesnt have to defend its own 18 yard box.

Obviously our opinion doesnt count really. But just because Eustace wants it. And that assumes that he does, because its not as straightforward as that because hes clearly got no money to play with. That doesnt make it automatically the correct decision. He is too old, he cannot play in a back 4, he is so slow that we have to play really deep to cover his lack of pace (see Plymouth for how that can go wrong) and he he turns 38 this season. And what is key. This was surely an easy deal to do. So if we were so keen, at least sign him up before the end of pre season.

So weve allowed him to miss a whole pre season then decided to go back for him out of desperation? So not only is he not far off 38 years old. But he is going to be unfit. Terrible idea.

Whilst I agree regarding his track record. The points made in the post quoted are not wrong.

Thats a great point actually. Ive seen mentions that this is a signing picked out by the new staff but initial reports linking us said we tried to get him last winter. Dolan isnt fast to be fair. But is still just about more useful than Burke.
