singe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Good article that. Nice one Mr K. Although the whether we get them is another matter is probably alluding that 3 might be more realistic. I'd be happy with 3 more with 2 CB's my preference, we have lt in too many sopft goals, with some money kept aside for later in the season for a loan or two when the inevitable injuries and suspensions kick in Edited July 5, 2012 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'd say the 3 key areas are a striker (clarke?), centre half (r.brown?) and left winger. i still think we'd need another striker, and CM cover (mchangama? taiwo?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Why is he mentioning playoffs again ? everytime he mentioned it last year we lost. Just aim for mid table and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 if we can keep the majority of the squad fit, and add 3-5 more players in key areas, (of the quality of names linked, i.e clarke, brown, taiwo ect.) then we've gotta be looking at top half.

pukka Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 "Last season I had players who had the talent but not the attitude and I naively thought I could change them." So we are linked with leon "Bad attitude" Clarke?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Why is he mentioning playoffs again ? everytime he mentioned it last year we lost. Just aim for mid table and hope for the best I don't think his comments are the reason we ended up nowhere near the playoffs, but rather the (lack of) quality in the side.

singe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Maybe he does know about Clarkes nocturnal habits? and has not been privy to Sly's experiece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 This reminds me of those women who are attracted to criminals because they think they can change them, but they can't cos a wrong 'un is a wrong 'un, and actually they don't really want to change them because they're turned on by them. Are you suggesting pd wants to be lc's bitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburbri Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's not unreasonable if he gets the players in he wants a bit of luck and consistency which we lacked and a good season may happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 God bless Royle Army, still popping up with his two pence worth.. He'd have a field day with these rumours at the moment.. Is Macken available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheLatics Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Marsh-Brown and Reid were nothing more than bit part players last term, and Morais was a player Dickov praised at Christmas. Odd comments. The simple fact from last season was that the players AND manager were out of their depth. Too much youth and a manager who struggled to inject motivation or tactical awareness into a very naïve group of players. If I was PD I'd be forgetting last season. It was truly woeful in so many respects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Decent article that. I think we're 4 good signings away from being sorted - CB, LW & ST + back up CM....anything else is a bonus for me. That'd be 21, and with Philiskirks youths as back-up (or emergancy loans?). On a reduced budget, I think that is more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
