khay 8 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I'm waiting to be amazed but I have very little confidence in Houghton's ability to spot a good player. Williamson and Routledge were good signings IMO. Yeah they were but...Best and Perch Could argue he is doing his best with limited funds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we get some decent Premiership quality players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson and Routledge were good signings IMO. Yeah they were but...Best and Perch Best was a signed because we needed a striker and our preferred targets either wanted to stay put (Beckford) or move elsewhere (Moses). It's too early to write off Perch but his performances against us were very good and he came recommended by Calderwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think that anybody labelled a "striker" is worth signing if you need one? Even if he is shite its OK because he's a striker? That's good thinking. I still have to see if routledge can cut it in the premier league as he hasn't in the past at teams with better players than us. Williamson will probably not get a game once Sol is fit.

The fuck are you babbling about, mong features? We needed a striker and we signed Best. I don't agree with it, I don't rate him but the point I'm trying to make is he wasn't our first choice.

sniffer 0 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 And the point I'm trying to get you to understand is that good managers don't sign a bad player just for the sake of it. Knee jerk reactions are how you end up with dead weight. FFS, it is not that hard to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henda11 0 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I think he will add some much needed power to the midfield, Smith & Nolan have aggression but they lack in strength and power and hopefully Tiote can bring that. Debut is against Villa apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
