mickjagger Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Anybody worried about the lack of signings in an attempt to keep us up? David Eyres in the Chron tonight stating John Sheridan needs backing from the board which some could interpret the following way 1 John Sheridan was made certain promises when being appointed in terms of tranfers which has not materialised as of yet? 2 Conspiracy theory could be that David Eyres has done this for his mate, in the local media to try to crank up the pressure on the board. Be intrested to hear other peoples thoughts on the article!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 My first thought was that Sheridan had asked him to do this. I'm confident he can keep us up with what we've got though. It could even be a blessing in disguise for next season if Cassidy and Murphy blossom.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The way Eyres says it will be Sheridans career best if he keeps us up suggests he is on his own and the board aren't supporting him ...I.e the odds are stacked well against Sheridan keeping us up. Just my opinion like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelatics Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes I'm pretty sure that Shez was aware of those Eyres comments even if he didn't instigate it. Now it's up to Corney! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 As Eyres is an agent, he probably knows how much we are offering and knows it's not going to bring in the players targeted. What happened to Gordon's big names about to sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 We badly need that target man at the very least but things are not looking good. The transfer window came and went after Shez's promise of a couple of new faces and now after his claim of being 90% sure of two coming in this week it's Thursday now and still no news. It looks like we'll be picking up the scraps again as I fear our favoured targets will be snapped up by now. I'd like to think Shez is holding the announcements back aka Gerrard but that's probably just wishful thinking. Very vey frustrating with the situation we are in!!

There hasn't been much activity across the leagues since the loan window opened - 4 in league 1 to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Who would you kick out of the current team? Who would you bring in? Poleon for me wouldn't get near and Forte is best used as an impact player from the bench. Don't know what funds are available but a dominant CF who can hold the ball up because Cassidy quite clearly can't and a wide player who is a goal threat. As for names, I've no idea but we simply have to start scoring goals to have any chance of staying up and that's something we haven't managed to do all season with this group of players.

Magister Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 We are the club who could not pay the players, could not afford the Tarmac or electicity......we appointed Sheridan but as far as I am aware we did not simultaneously find a money tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Never said we did but Corney said funds were available to sign 3 or 4 players....if we can get the right players in on loan they wouldn't cost the earth.....let's hope Shez can get the best out of the rest!

Magister Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If we get a striker on loan he will be at least 5th choice at his club.....I have been racking my brain to think of a club who had a prolific goal scoring player who can hold the ball up who is surplus to requirements and available tor £500 a week......I think I need a bit more tome to think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think we need someone prolific. We need a battering ram to hold the ball up, bring others into play, and if he scores a couple, great. Forte and Murphy have goals in them, and if we had a Higdon/Jabo, we'd be in a much better position. Also, Matt Smith has only started 4 games this season. Come on Corney, bring him home.

davegtt Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Also, Matt Smith has only started 4 games this season. Come on Corney, bring him home. Are you serious? The guy is useless unless you wanted to play with good wingers who can cross a ball. I have never seen a professional footballer so slow in my entire life.

singe Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Re signings, I am sure the main issue is we have only played 4 home games since 24th November. With this weekend too, that's 12 weeks. Obviously, pain of losing wise, it's not all bad, but financially it is clearly crippling.

boundaryblue80 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 We should never have allowed Jabo Ibhere to leave True...but if you remember, Ibhere left shortly before the rat did. Then the rat took him on loan at Barnsley...smelled of him not bringing Ibhere back here because he knew he was about to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
