He hasnt struggled to get in, they've just got an agreement with Coventry that he doesnt play. As its a done deal that he's going there.
I heard O'Grady has gone for 80 grand and was going to be announced to the Rochdale at the Rotherham game which was called off.
Bertrand looked good for Reading. As did the guy who took the penalty. And as previously mentioned Gunnarson who got numerous megs, thought he was MOTM tbh.
Kebe looked like Freddie Kanoute, shame he didnt play like him.
If only McAnuff had finished after that mazy run. Would have been 1 of the goals of the season.
Benitez is the equivalent of Penney in the Premier League, has wasted what money they have on absolute rubbish. Lucas and Aqualani I dont think would impress in our midfield.
That's one thing that messed us up. Royle started breaking the squad up when he wasn't here for the long haul.
Then it got worse when Penney replaced the outgoing players with utter :censored:e.
I think we paid for Furman as well. All this "Penney had no money to spend" is bollocks.
As i've said earlier his signings havent worked out yet. Lets hope to God they start to turn in some performances in the 2nd half of the season.
I dont know I have a funny (crazy!!) feeling he might turn it around. Plus I struggle to think of anyone worth replacing him with.
We need to improve rapidly though.
The money thing annoys me. We have brought in more players and spent more than a lot of clubs in our League. Money was there sadly most of what he has signed just havent worked out so far.
Every single person on this board would "try hard".
He isnt good enough like a lot out there. It also doesnt help that players are not being played in their preffered and most effective positions for the team.
Square pegs round holes for about the 3rd season in a row.
