I was saying back in June we need to get our signings complete early , but as usual it will be a last minute desperate signing or nothing, we are not premier league ready even in to the 4th game of the season , we all knew what we needed but looks like we are going to run out of time , fail to prepare , prepare to failThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

By the way, believing everything you read in the paper is not necessarily a good idea!
Our owner one would assume made the cash to pay for the ground via holding his nerve and taking a few risks - obviously very good at this
So no reason to doubt taking same approach to player fees - those holding out for higher amounts we won't pay will change their minds when only 48 hours until window closes
No, of course not. Did I say that? I was responding to a post that said (in summary) keep the faith, believe in TB. If you follow the thread, I agree, the guy is a saviour for us, but my point is that TB can make mistakes. Tony Cascarino in Times a couple of weeks ago made point that our refusal to pay more than £40k pw may make life difficult; I dont know where he got that info from and even whether it is true but there is nothing in the recruitment process to date that suggests he is incorrect. TB has himself said that he has been surprised by the level of fees and wages required for PL. We have spent big, and may well spend big this week. I will gladly come on here and admit my concern was completely unfounded come Thursday at 2330 but there is something in my mind that just isn't quite right. I have put on another thread that we should perhaps have taken a chance on Dwamena given the situation and Zurich's response.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Answer your own question and if it is no, answer why we are in this situation - is it just bad luck?

My nomination for Thought for the Day!!
We are cautious and unwilling, like pretty much all other PL clubs, to be ripped off or pay beyond our own valuation. If that means relegation I guess that's the way it's going to be .....frustrating but at least we'll still have a club at the end of it.

The PL market is what it is and I would have expected Barber to have realized that. You are NOT going to get a PL standard goalscorer for £5m. We could have got a pacey, big striker with a huge amount of potential for a £1m bung.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We are now so close to the deadline we will end up fighting for scraps. The prices are going to go up because every club now realises how desperate we are to sign a PL standard goalscorer.
18 chances against 10 men Saturday and we still couldn't score. That is really worrying.
Yes but this is only one player. Why not really push out the boat and spend big bucks?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Why leave it so late... ?....
Because its really exciting :-)
If for one am thrilled we are involved in the last minute scramble.... i know i know its against everything that is sensible...
But for me its fun.
I have to give it to you Mr Hughton, you are a far better Manager than I ever thought.
