The point you’ve obviously missed is that you and I both know if we did sign him there would be at least 1 poster with something negative to say. Maybe you eh? At least Messi knows where the fucking onion bag is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 So who has signed him and why. He has been training with the team for some weeks so clearly arrived before our head coach. If he is any good we will give him game time only for McCann to say thank you I'll now move on. I suspect he is another who can only run for 60 minutes so a perfect replacement for Filipe. Should play today so we will see - well those of us who still support the team will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re embarrassing lads! We could sign Messi and it’ll still be “another midfielder” & “a waste of a wage” blah fucking blah. I agree. I said after the fans forum that even if we signed Messi and Aguero, someone would say “yeah but Sefil is crap!”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our record on sign players playing for a deal is mixed. We don’t know yet whether he’s going to be awesome or not but he’s a very experienced player, former Burnley captain. He must have something about him! Would you have preferred them to have given him a 2 year contract like Giles Coke? Give him a chance to prove himself and if he does well then we probably have first option on retaining him on a longer deal. Makes sense to me.

archiecat Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Hey everybody look at me oops sorry,just slipped into BB80 mode for a second. I hope McCann turns out to be good but even if he is a class act, i very much doubt he will revive the fortunes of this team. There is only one way to turn this nightmare around and it begins with The Clowns riding off into the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally said " One of the first better than we already have in quite some time, which is good. " my response was to bringing Messi into the conversatin, somehing both of you ahve done for some really bizarre reason. The rest of what you are saying I pretty much agree with, but he is very match unfit, so it is going to take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As do we all, but it will be very difficult in January. If AL is willing to pay a fee for a proven striker we have a chance, but even proven strikers don't always carry on scoring. Look at Doyle, hopeless at Portsmouth, Preston and Bradford, he comes here and scores for fun, as he is doing at Swindon. Wilson seemed a decent signing, but after seeing him play he looks terrible. The other option is letting lucky on a loan signing who is someone out of favour like Doyle, or a young Prem or Championship lad who does well like Surridge.

The other option is letting lucky on a loan signing who is someone out of favour like Doyle, or a young Prem or Championship lad who does well like Surridge. I think taking a chance on a young Prem or Championship striker is probably our best chance. Unless there’s someone in the Conference who fancies a permanent move? A striker who is already catching a league team though and is scoring goals probably wouldn’t be released by his club, and if it’s a striker who isn’t scoring goals, why would we want him? Admittedly Doyle is proving the exception to that rule, but I’m guessing that’s because Wellens is able to get the very best out of him. Good man-management in all likelihood. We are desperate for a big striker though in my opinion. Someone who Azankpo or Wilson can feed off. I don’t know much about Macclesfield or Wilson but I doubt very much that he was playing up front as a lone striker for them last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macc fans say he only did the job playin off someone. I agree we need a striker but my opinion is we need mills back in and a LB more. We don't struggle massively to score but all the goals we conceded come from our full backs fuckin up. Especially LB. Low balls in to the centre from the FB not doin his job. Countless times we've lost points from goals from those positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Does it really fucking matter? He might be slightly less shit than the others but i’m struggling to give a shit. The fact you’ve got Team Lemsagam heralding his arrival as some sort of 2nd coming is top banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at the opposite end to those who just like moaning, are those people who just sit there with their heads buried in the sand oblivious to the reality that we are 89th in the football league and we are watching the worst Oldham Athletic side of all time. Back to this signing who knows he has shown some pedigree earlier in his career at 32 while he maybe past his peak should still be able to offer us something. On the flip side it doesn't address the obvious goals problem and our recruitment record has so far been rubbish so the same people responsible for this are responsible for the other dross we've signed. That doesn't mean this player will be crap but its a point worthy of consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
