Shearergol 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm blaming Roeder by the way, I think I mentioned that earlier. As I have said elsewhere, Roeder is the one who chose his players and how to spend his money. I have also said that if he is struggling, and Shearer comes in and also struggles, then it will indeed be time for the board to be held accountable for too many wrong appointments. Thats football, and no board survives too many wrong appointments, they can say they backed their managers and hand over a good business to someone else who might make better choices, and if this happens I only hope their successors ARE better - if someone actually wants to run the club and can run it better - because they might not be, its far from automatic. You know what, I completely agree with that post. Oh, and Laz, they would ALL have jumped at the chance, as would Malbranque who I missed off the list. If we'd signed Malbranque and not Duff I think people would have been less than happy. Unless of course we signed all the others in the list? However, look at it your way, if it suits your argument.

David Kelly 1117 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I would say that Rossi is the only signing we have made that shows any sort of considered thought or planning (ie we didn't have much cash and we need someone to cover a period while Owen is injured). The rest are all poorly concived or panic buys and the list of players available for free or next to nothing totally confirms this. It's interesting to compare our transfer window activity to that of the makems (who only had a manager a couple of days before the deadline). They saw that they needed to spend an amount of money on players in the short term to get them out of that division (and they may well of done that). It appears they have money to spend but rather than blowing it all now on big names now they have spent a reasonably small portion on doing the job that needs doing first and keeping a fair amount for if they go up so that this time they stay up. That shows a hell of a lot more planning than we have managed in the last five years. If we had been so considered there is a fair chance we would be playing european football yesterday or today rather than just managing to scrape through to playing tomorrow. Fuck me praising the makems planning ahead of ours is not something I ever thought I would be doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 i'd agree that spending 5m on duff couldve been better spent on a defender in the short term. but what about long term? how long will it take the club to recoup that 5m in merchandising? who will our left sided midfielder next season and the season after that? how long would huth have lasted before the fans were on his back (a la bramble)? Spending 5m now on a great midfielder may mean that next season we can send more on a better defender (than say huth at 5m). say next season, how much would a player of duffs ability cost? 10m? 15m? With club shop prices not fucking long... T_Keith. Completely off topic, i'm guessing you're a fan of Keef Richards? Mate of mine has an office next to a guy who does guitar/amp repairs and servicing, he sometimes does the Stones gear. My mate is a big Keef fan so this guy told him to come round and try an amp he had in (belongs to Keef), it was a Watkins 30w. I think it was a class a amp. Rock your boat at all? Yeh a bit but thats talking more money than i have Don't know what a Watkins amp will cost tbh. Anyway, if you spent less on replica shirts you'd be loaded i reckon Hmm im not sure. Plus litterally all my money goes on guitars and amps i get home shirts but they last 2 years only cause the away are often minging though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Id quite happily have spent the money we paid for duff on campells or woodgates wages at the minute. Yes hes a good player at a good price, but our best young player in the whole team is now pissed off that we replaced him and we ran out of money to strengthen where we really needed it.

JawD 31 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I think Duff ® and Zog (L) is the way forward, sadly at the expense of an aging Nobby. That though is the least of our problems and I see NOT bringing in an available Campbell who suited our needs and budget to the "T" as a shortsighted disaster.

Dr Gloom 19844 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 sibierski - great planning rossi - great planning no new centre half - great planning duff was a good buy, but it was hardly a problem position. we bought him because he became available at a good price. good planning would have been to buy campbell and not to wait until the last week of the window to go for huth and woodgate and then panic buying the likes of siberski, rossi and bernard. that for me is BAD planning. SHEPHERD OUT you don't see it do you ? You can't accept the need for one or two short term stop gap players in the real world. You're so thick, you expect the board to find 50m quid every summer, buy half a team every year....yet you think they are shite ........ Lost irony or what.

Cant stop myself. What a load of sh*t really LM your refusal to face up to the truth is as bad as everyone saying Souness would get it right. You are the Shepherd equivalent of everything you hated in the Souness backers. Spouting meaningless drivel and ignoring all arguments put your way. One trick pony is a phrase that springs to mind (In wheezy old ma voice) "When I were a youngun and McKeag were the chairman" etc etc ad infinitum.
